Dear Gurus!

How to use arcgis server from the winForms application?

May be as follows ArcObjects API Reference for ArcGIS Engine or there exist other way?

It's easy to use mapControl in arcObjects and map control in "http://schemas.esri.com/arcgis/client/2009" namespace (wpf, silverlight)

<esri:Map x:Name="myMap" Background="White" WrapAround="true"
      Extent="3200000,8500000,4250000,10130000" MouseClick="Map_MouseClick" >
      <esri:OpenStreetMapLayer ID="OSMLayer" Style="Mapnik" />
</esri:Map>

Can't anybody show how to solve simililar problems (with code example) in winForms or some reference would be nice?

Could you explain in more detail what you're needing to accomplish? What is it that you're needing to do with the server.

I have the project , which I wrote 5 yeas ago. The program are on the server and clients run it after enter the server via tsclient. Now I I have arcgis for server and use it from wpf and silverlight project. I want to rewrite my winForms project. In xaml of silverlight project

  <esri:Map x:Name="myMap" Background="White" WrapAround="true" 
                  Extent="3200000,8500000,4250000,10130000" MouseClick="Map_MouseClick" >
               <esri:OpenStreetMapLayer ID="OSMLayer" Style="Mapnik" />
               <esri:ArcGISDynamicMapServiceLayer ID="Karelia" 
                            Url="http://myserver:6080/ArcGIS/rest/services/karelia/MapServer" />
               <esri:FeatureLayer    ID="routes_osm" 
                            Url="http://myserver:6080/ArcGIS/rest/services/karelia/MapServer/1" 
                                  MouseEnter="FeatureLayer_MouseEnter_1">
                                        </esri:FeatureLayer>
               <esri:FeatureLayer    ID="bridges"         Visible="False"                         
                            Url="http://myserver:6080/ArcGIS/rest/services/karelia/MapServer/2" 
                                  MouseEnter="FeatureLayer_MouseEnter" >
                                        </esri:FeatureLayer>

 </esri:Map>

So it's needed to to use some feature layers, to draw some objects , to solve geometry tasks and so on. Also need to use OSM layer.

Now I try to use connection factory

            IAGSServerConnectionFactory AGSConnectionFactory = new AGSServerConnectionFactory();

but get an error message -

"The required class is missing in ClassFactory".

Sorry, I forgot

   ESRI.ArcGIS.RuntimeManager.Bind(ESRI.ArcGIS.ProductCode.EngineOrDesktop);

An error has disappeared

I successfully connected through the Internet connection with next code:

            IAGSServerConnectionFactory AGSConnectionFactory = new AGSServerConnectionFactory();
            IPropertySet connectionProps = new PropertySet();
            connectionProps.SetProperty("URL", "http://serverIP:6080/arcgis/admin");
            IAGSServerConnection AGSConnection = AGSConnectionFactory.Open(connectionProps, 0);
            IAGSEnumServerObjectName enumSOName = null;
            enumSOName = AGSConnection.ServerObjectNames;
            IAGSServerObjectName SOName = null;
            SOName = enumSOName.Next();


            while (SOName != null)
            {
                Debug.Print(SOName.Name + ": " + SOName.Type);
                SOName = enumSOName.Next();
            }

But I can't to connect through local connection in the LAN with next code:

            IAGSServerConnectionFactory AGSConnectionFactory = new AGSServerConnectionFactory();
            IAGSServerConnection AGSConnection = null;
            IPropertySet connectionProps = new PropertySet();
            connectionProps.SetProperty("machine", "MONITOR");


            AGSConnection = AGSConnectionFactory.Open(connectionProps, 0);

where "MONITOR" - the name of the computer in LAN. How to specify the name of the server arcgis in this expression, and whether it is required to be connected with an setting of user (the member of agsusers group) and password?

I tried to do so

IGISServerConnection connection = new GISServerConnection();
connection.Connect("http://serverIP:6080/arcgis/admin");

but I get an error

"Server RPC is not available"

1. Here ArcObjects Help for .NET developers I read

Local connections to the SOM are made as a local user (using an operating system login that must be in the agsusers or agsadmin group).

but on server I don't see agsusers or agsadmin. (I work with arcgis server 10.1)

2. How do I specify a username and password from which the reques to the server is?

3. Is there are any code examples?

4. How to specify the server name and the name of the machine, on which the server is running (whether it is necessary to specify the port)?

5. In Connect2 method only I can set userInfo

Hear ArcObjects Help for .NET developers I read

Remote use of ArcObjects (via DCOM)

At 10.1, you can no longer use ArcObjects remotely (via DCOM); this way of interacting with ArcGIS for Server is no longer supported. If you are using GISServerConnection in the Server library or AGSServerConnection in the GISClient library in your code, these need to be removed if you are working with ArcGIS 10.1 for Server.

Is there a solution to my problem or it is better to work from wpf?
