I hate to dredge up an old thread, but I still cannot see how the new Runtime SDKs (I'm using .Net desktop) supports even the most rudimentary capability to allow an end user to load a raster product of their choice (of course limited to the set of supported formats) and simply display it as a raster without needing to perform a pre-processing step in ArcMap or Desktop. I have a customer who would like to be able to load say, for example, geotiff or ADRG products as they see fit. My temporary work-around has been to produce tile package format file using ArcMap, which can be loaded from disk files, and in fact work pretty well in terms of load and render performance, however, I have had to hand wave so far as to how they will be able to use other raster products at run time. So far addressing this question to support via my sales rep has come back with yes, it is possible with a standard level license to do this with the local server component. Please could you describe to me exactly how this is supported.
