Web service Database

[ameeralkateeb]

Am new to flex arc gis flex viewer 3.4, I want to build a widget to read data containing coordinates from a non spatial database and display it on map, I can build a web service to read from the database using C#, do i need to build a widget scratch and how?? or if there is a ready made widget template for such cases.

Here is what I would do:
1- Geocode x y coordinates in ArcMap to generate a point file.
2- Create a map service from the point file.
3- Build the widget to be used in the flex sample viewer.
