Has anyone encountered this issue and have a better work around? Many of the commonly used methods in ArcGIS Pro SDK are required to be run on the 'MCT' thread. The code is wrapped in a QueuedTask.Run block and in most cases, we need to Wait for the result before continuing processing. This is often done with Task.Wait(). However, I've recently ran into a situation where Task.Wait throws an ERROR because the task has a status of TaskStatus.WaitingForActivation. Is this a known issue? Task t1 = QueuedTask.Run(() => { try { //do some long running work } catch (Exception eX) { // handle the error } } //code added to prevent error while (t1.Status==TaskStatus.WaitingForActivation) { Thread.Sleep(500); loopCount++; if (loopCount > 22) // 11 seconds max wait time { break; } } t1.Wait();

You can check the health of basic ArcGIS services at ArcGIS Online Health Dashboard. ESRI says that the Geocoding service had No downtime today. Most likely (if restarting ArcGIS Pro did not immediately solve the issue) is you had network issues connecting to https://geocode.arcgis.com/arcgis/ or your connection was blocked by a firewall.

On the fly projection is NEVER as accurate as using the Projection methods available within the ArcGIS Pro Data Management toolbox. If this is for a science project, consider using these more accurate methods to transform your data. Recommendation: find a BM or Survey Station on your NAD 27 map that still exists and then compare the 'projected' coordinates to the published National Geodetic Survey NAD 1983 coordinates for that same point. Note - if you are starting to look at submeter accuracy make sure to consider the transformation year in your error assessment (e.g., NAD 1983 != NAD1983(2011)).

To check Locate setting click the drop down carrot to see what you have enabled.

There are several Find and Locate tools available in ArcGIS Pro. However, if you are using the default Locate tool in the toolbox, it is dependent on a connection to ArcGIS Online. Also note there is a Locate and Layer Search option on the tool interface. If 'Layer Search' is selected it will only search the layers currently within your map If the Locate option is not working this means you do not have good network connection to the ArcGIS Online service providing the search capability.

I look forward to seeing 'how to turn on' ArcGIS for SharePoint app/web part for SharePoint 365/Online. Current Help and Installation pages do not clearly differentiation between the Add-In and Web Part options.

I had it set to false because Add-In loading can add +30 seconds to ArcGIS Pro startup. I resolved this by moving my long running code into an if block and introducing a first use check. This allowed me to set autoLoad="true" as recommended. private bool firstUse = true; protected override Task OnToolActivateAsync(bool active) { if (firstUse==true) { // do long running work only Once! firstUse = false; } return base.OnToolActivateAsync(active); }

That is a new limitation for me :-). good find.

It appears that custom developed SharePoint Add-Ins will be retired by April 2, 2026 and Microsoft is recommending migrating them to SharePoint Framework based solutions. Has/is ESRI's ArcGIS for SharePoint been updated to use the new SharePoint 365 framework for web parts?

I have an add-in that Should be enabled by default when my custom tab is open and there is an Active map. I would like to be able to programmatically disable the tool if there is an error (in my case I need to connect to a remote large feature class and want to disable the tool if the FC is unavailable or unreachable). As discussed in the documentation I've added a <conditions> tag after </AddInInfo> and a condition attributed to my <tool> but when I add the condition my tool is always disabled on first load. Here is the condition: <conditions> <insertCondition id="srview_condition"> <state id="srview_state" /> </insertCondition> </conditions> <controls>  <tool id="SRView4Pro_modSRView4Pro" caption="SR View for Pro" className="SRView4ProTool" keytip="T3" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="Images\SRViewButton16.png" largeImage="Images\SRViewButton32.png" condition="srview_condition"> <tooltip heading="SR View for Pro">Show SR View 3 images or Google StreetView from left mouse click.<disabledText /></tooltip> </tool> </controls> It looks like the condition is being set to Deactivated by default so the tool is never available to be run. In the Initialize event I added .Activate but I don't think this Event is actually RUN. Ideas? Code Attached.

Also, I've never seen Encrypt=Mandatory as shown in your top photo. This would imply that you have Trusted Certificates installed on all servers. Can you change that to yes or no?

‎02-20-2025

Have you tried with Encrypt=no? Previous to ArcGIS Pro 3.2 and ODBC 17.09 the default for this was no or false. With the upgrade to ArcGIS Pro 3.3 and ODBC 17.10 and higher the default is now yes or true. Also if you have a connecting string stored in a config file or settings check other attributes since there names may have changed. For example, old connection string to SQL: Data Source=<server name>;Initial Catalog=<database name> Security Info=True;User ID=<user_id>;Password=<password>;TrustServerCertificate=true</Value> </Setting> New Format: Server=<server_name>;Database=<db_name>;PersistSecurityInfo=true;UID=<user_id>;Password=<password>;TrustServerCertificate=true;Encrypt=false

For filenames used with a datafactory constructor they often support wildcard characters that support the addition of incremental numbers on a filename. Other option is to add code to delete temp files before each run.

I have an add-in that is throwing an exception that then crashes the ArcGIS Pro application. I have several try catch blocks but the error still bubbles up to the application. What is the recommend place to add code to protect the Pro application from an exception?

‎02-06-2025

If you are trying to do this in Code for a Add-In, to set the wait cursor for the Application while waiting for a long running process to complete use the following: FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.Cursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Wait; Application.UseWaitCursor = true; frmLoading.Show(); <--this is just a simple form telling the user Why they are waiting. MyrLongRunningProcess(); frmLoading.Close(); Application.UseWaitCursor = false; FrameworkApplication.Current.MainWindow.Cursor = System.Windows.Input.Cursors.Arrow;
