Offline/Disconnected editing support for Silverlight/WPF API

[EricDaniel]

 WPF, Silverlight Out-of-Browser, and Windows Phone 7 all have the ability to work in a disconnected/offline mode since they all can be often consider client applications.  The idea here is for the ArcGIS Silverlight/WPF API to fully support this offline/disconnected ability in Sliverlight, WPF, and Windows Phone 7.  Therefore,  a user can make edits while offline/disconnected and when they become connected again these edits would then update back to the Server's geodatabase.

Agree that ESRI should consolidate their mobile product suite. Deprecate ArcPad\Win Mobile and focus more resources on android ios and wp7 and javascript  for mobile.

This is appealing to our developers because we develop the connected non-mobile web apps using the ArcGIS Silverlight/WPF API. In our case this isn't so much a code reuse issue as our field going apps would be very streamlined work flows supporting very specific data collection protocols. It is the ability to leverage our existing skill set that would make this idea appealing.

We build apps that can be deployed on mobiles running with low bandwidth/low reliabality connections. This is a must have for us !

I agree. We currently have the need for disconnected mode and only have the option of using Windows mobile.  However, microsoft is not planning to update windows mobile (6.5 supposedly the last version) and is focusing on WIndows phone.  So, we need to have a disconnected mapping option that supports microsoft's plans...or plan on re-creating the app once the technology is available.
