Access to SDE Geodatabases

[BrentHoskisson]

Can WPF not connect to SDE feature classes directly without going through an ArcGIS Server service?  I can't find any samples or information.

Thanks

you are correct, this is not possible. You can't directly access the SDE from WPF. You will need to use an gpk to make changes or some workaround to load featureclasses from the SDE onto your map.
