Newby Needs Help in Creating an Offline c# Project

JohnManson1 — Sun, 17 Dec 2017 23:25:32 GMT

Hi gang, I am an Access VBA developer, I would like to move my db over to .NET, and add GIS functionality. I am new to c#, and xaml, but I'm willing to learn (my experiance has so far been with VB). I have installed the esri runtime in visual studio, and have developed a sample ap (wpf) that displays an online map etc. I have also setup a local arcGIS server on my local machine, and have created a .geodatabase with some local data for testing (two layers in there). I have been trolling around the various esri pages and git looking for a sample c# (or VB) project that loads and displays data from a local server for offline use, but I can't find one - they are all online stuff. I can find some code snippets etc, but I'm not very comfortable with c# syntax, so a comlete running ap sample would be better to start with if possible. Can anyone help me? Much appreciated. -John

Hi John,

We've just shared a Local Server sample yesterday. You can find it in the WPF sample viewer or you can view the sample on GitHub.

That sample reads a shapefile, but the changes needed to use a geodatabase should be minimal. I'll take a look at making a sample to demonstrate Local Server use with geodatabases specifically.
