ShapeFile Support

[LalityaVenkat]

Hii everyone,

I got some requirement. I am looking for a solution to solve it.

It's to display maps in Silverlight using local custom shape-files, can ArcGIS Supports this kind of development(local shapefiles).I heard it just supports map servers only.

Thanks for a quick reply.

You can use the ArcGIS Portal REST API to generate features from a shapefile (http://www.arcgis.com/apidocs/rest/generate.html).
There is a sample here: http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm#GenerateFeatures
