Using ArcGIS for Silverlight API Applications in Sharepoint??

[DavidGeorge4]

Hello,

We have done several months of development with the ArcGIS Silverlight API which I have been told now needs to be migrated into SharePoint.

I have read in the ArcGIS Sharepoint help file that it is possible to upload in the Silverlight XAP files into the ArcGIS for SharePoint Administratior. However when we do this, the XAP file does not load and we are completely prevented from using the ArcGIS for ShapePoint in any way (until we remove the xap file).

Am i missing something? Can, what i am trying to achieve be done with SharePoint API? Or is the support for Silverlight simply limted to developing menus and buttons?

Thanks


Dave

HI Dave,

The ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight and ArcGIS for SharePoint can share components that have been built using the Extensibility SDK, see this PDF for a good overview of this http://proceedings.esri.com/library/userconf/devsummit12/papers/configuring_and_customizing_the_arcg...

If you have developed your solution using the ArcGIS API for Silverlight alone, you can deploy the Silverlight XAP into SharePoint using, for example, SharePoints Silverlight webpart.

Hope this helps,
Pete
