Needs to access ArcObjects through WCF in Silverlight Application.

[SanajyJadhav]

Hi,

In our Silverlight API (2.0 and ArcGIS 10) application, to achieve certain functionalities, we need to access ArcObjects.So, I have created a WCF service in my Silverlight application.

The problem is, I am not sure which SDK is to be installed on my development machine to access ArcObjects.I am having single-box installation(SOM,SOC, SDE, SQL Server and Visual Web Developer Express on the same machine), so I can see all ArcObjects DLLs ( ESRI.ArcGIS.Carto etc...) in my C:\Windows\Assembly.If I access those DLLs directly in my WCF, I am getting COM factory error.

I am a bit confused, what should I do to access ArcObjects (FeatureServer,IMapServer,IFeatureClass,IQueryFilter etc...) in my WCF service.Installing which SDK would fix my issue, I cannot understand.

Please give me some advice on this issue.

Thanks in advance.
Sanjay.

You might not have installed the ArcGIS Server Web Application Development Framework on your machine. You may find the following URLs useful:

Thanks Ali, I appreciate your help.

I installed Web ADF runtime and started using ArcObjects.

But still I have one doubt.Over the period of time, ESRI would be deprecating Web ADF, so in that case, what can be installed if there would be no web ADF.

Thanks once again.

You can develop Geo processing tools and publish as service and consume them in your client application .This is another design methodology. There will not be access to fine grained ArcObjects in near future.


Thanks

Iamlakshi3,

please, as I don't read all the press releases, could you explain or link to more about your statement:

"There will not be access to fine grained ArcObjects in near future."

See the PDF document, Page # 4:ArcGIS 10.1 Depreciation Plan

"Custom developed applications from business partners and users using fine grained ArcObjects will not be supported."

After ArcGIS 10 - Web ADF is not supported.

Hope this helps for you
