ANNOUCEMENT: Silverlight Team - Beta Releases Now Available!!!

DerekLaw — Sat, 05 Mar 2011 15:47:11 GMT

All,

FYI: This morning we released several Beta releases:

ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight

ArcGIS API for Microsoft WPF

ArcGIS API for Windows Phone

ArcGIS Viewer for Microsoft Silverlight

The ArcGIS Viewer for Microsoft (MS) Silverlight is a site starter application for creating a Web client viewer for ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online services. It also works with ArcGIS.com Web Maps. It is built on the ArcGIS API for MS Silverlight.

It includes an Application Builder which enables users to quickly and easily create a fully functional, custom Web mapping client through a user-friendly application user interface that includes a WYSIWYG preview.
No programming and no configuration file editing is required.

Watch the Silverlight Viewer product overview video

If are interested in trying out any of the Beta releases above, please go to the Esri Beta Community Site.

Thanks and I hope you participate in the Beta program,

I just watched a video about Silverlight viewer. It looks really good. I am currently working on the web page using Visual Studio, Silverlight and ArcGIS Server 10. I see I can do many stuff much easier in a viewer, but I am not sure that I can do everything what I need for my project. I am interested in editing capabilities: can I set in a viewer a point feature class to be edited by the user? I mean dragging points to new location, adding and deleting points, and changing description in attribute table. Could you also explain me how I can later insert this map application as one of the pages in a bigger web application? Thank you!

Hi Joanna,

I am interested in editing capabilities: can I set in a viewer a point feature class to be edited by the user? I mean dragging points to new location, adding and deleting points, and changing description in attribute table.

Web editing functionality will be available out-of-the-box by final release of the Viewer.

Could you also explain me how I can later insert this map application as one of the pages in a bigger web application?

Yes this is possible by editing the index.htm Viewer page. If you look at the contents of index.htm, you will find a <div> with an id of �??silverlightControlHost�?�. This div can be placed in any HTML page with content around it. When doing this, make sure that the Silverlight <object> tag�??s source param has the right path to the Viewer xap file:

<param name="source" value="Viewer.xap"/>

I would ask that for future discussions, please post on the Esri beta community forums, so all beta participants can see and share questions & comments related to the Viewer.

Hope this helps,

Great work. But please check a base map does not display in Interactive SDK - Editing Tools - Auto Save and Explicit Save samples.

Thanks

In addition to editing, what other enhancements will there be in the final version?
Also - will this be available in vb or just c++ to customize.

VB.NET and C# will be the languages you can use.
