Either this is a very confusing site, or I'm an idiot! 🙂

I am trying to find candidates for an XML application in Visual Studio, and all I need is a 3d world with country outlines... I will add my data for each country, making that country fill with a color, or have some other 3d shape to illustrate a value.

I cannot find any pricing information here, nor a matrix that talks about runtime licensing, etc.

I will have hundreds/thousands of desktop clients, with a web service for them to grab updates from, but all the data is at the client. the geo data really doesn't change, as the country outlines are relatively static...

Is/Are any of the ArcGIS products a match here, and how much do I need to pay?

Sorry, I wouldn't ask if it were plainly stated... 😞

TIA!

Hi,

Sorry to hear you it was not easy to find the information you are looking for.

To build a .NET app with 3D you should be looking at our forthcoming 'ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET' - https://developers.arcgis.com/net/. It is in beta now and scheduled for release mid-late summer. However, there is no 3D functionality in the current beta. The 3D functionality will likely be included in the summer release. 3D will also become available in our JavaScript API this year - https://developers.arcgis.com/javascript/.

The ArcGIS Runtime SDKs are free to download and free to undertake your development. When it comes to deployment, there are two levels of licensing:
1. Basic level provides online viewing, editing, execution of service-based analysis, and offline map viewing.
2. Standard level gives you all the functionality of Basic and additionally allows you to edit and run analysis tools while disconnected.

Basic is free. Standard requires some payment, but in many cases this can also be free because there are two options:

1. Have your users sign in with their ArcGIS Online or Portal for ArcGIS organizational account (i.e. an account they have already paid for)
2. Purchase Standard level deployment packs by contacting the Esri office that serves you.

For more info see: https://developers.arcgis.com/en/licensing/

Mike,

Thanks for writing! I just responded to Joseph G. via email. He had the pricing you mentioned, but I had to write him back as like you, it appeared there was more than one option...

I noticed you didn't mention your "ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF", even though I'm doing my GUIs in WPF. Does this mean that you are changing the WPF product to be simply .NET, or that you still have one for WinForms, and one for WPF?

As for licensing, Joseph hasn't written me back yet (I just sent it a few minutes ago!), but at the highest level, the licensing choices still allude me for even my simple application... 😞 I guess I'm not asking a good enough question, so let me try again:

Q: How much, if anything, for me to have what I need to create a 3D globe of Earth in WPF with country boundaries?

Qualifiers:

-It will never need to be updated
-As the only thing I need is the outline data, there will be no updates/online access/etc.
-Clients need to be assumed to have no access to the Internet (yes, they pin-hole to my servers for updates, but not the same access as, say, a desktop client might have that goes to all kinds of sites).
-Via code-behind, I change the colors of the countries, and use mouse-overs to display any detail data.

I can't tell if I might need a few hours paid consulting to get a demo working once acquired, either.

I hope this helps! Sorry if it can't be described in a more succinct fashion!

I'll try to upload a few pics as examples of what I want to end up with (more or less):

Hi,

To clarify the product naming:

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for WPF: Our current production SDK for building WPF apps. Mature and stable. Future release will focus on performance, quality and compatibility with the ArcGIS system rather than significant new features (such as 3D).

ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET: An all-new super .NET SDK which contains 3 APIs - Windows Desktop (WPF), Windows Store and Windows Phone. Common API allows for code reuse across the 3 platforms. Currently in 2nd beta phase, will have 3D added later this year.

Note for 3D visualization you will need to wait a little longer for the new .NET SDK to include this feature, but if you can wait, it will be worth it!

Regarding your licensing question...

Q: How much, if anything, for me to have what I need to create a 3D globe of Earth in WPF with country boundaries?

Qualifiers:

-It will never need to be updated
-As the only thing I need is the outline data, there will be no updates/online access/etc.
-Clients need to be assumed to have no access to the Internet (yes, they pin-hole to my servers for updates, but not the same access as, say, a desktop client might have that goes to all kinds of sites).
-Via code-behind, I change the colors of the countries, and use mouse-overs to display any detail data.

I can't tell if I might need a few hours paid consulting to get a demo working once acquired, either.

The 3D feature is not yet available therefore I cannot definitively confirm pricing for this. However, since your requirements indicate the app is essentially a read-only viewer it might qualify as a Basic license, which would be free. If you wished to perform additional GIS/3D analysis offline, have the user perform updates to the geographic data and synchronize with a server, or perform geocoding / routing offline then it would be stepping into the Standard level territory at which point you would need to choose whether to purchase licenses to the number of deployments you intend to make or have users sign into the ArcGIS platform, or perhaps cater for both scenarios.

Cheers

Mike
