Silverlight Viewer into Visual Studio 2012

[ChrisAnglehart]

Is it possible to take a site I made with the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight 3.1 application and load this into Visual Studio 2012 for further editing and development?

[ErwinSoekianto]

I believe this is not possible. Source code of the application produced from Silverlight viewer is not available for end user, unless Flex Viewer.

If you need the source code, get from the sample that most related to your workflow. http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/silverlight-api/samples/start.htm

Erwin, thanks for the response and the link to the samples!
I should have been more clear in my post. I'm wondering if I can import a viewer application that I developed into visual studio, not someone else's as an end user. Although the viewer application builder is extremely quick and helpful I would like to take the map app I developed to a different level which would require working in visual studio.

[ErwinSoekianto]

yes, that's what I meant. Silverlight viewer application will only produce "published" version of the source code. Flex viewer application will give you the source code.

Erwin is correct that you cannot view the source code for applications that you build with our Silverlight Viewer Builder, but you can certainly extend apps that you've built using our Extensibility API and use Visual Studio to debug custom tools and behaviors.
