Windows 11 has initiated a default 'Efficiency' mode for all .exe tasks. This lowers the priority of the .exe in task managers and slows performance. When Closing ArcGIS Pro without a project this can result in ArcGIS Pro hanging for several minutes on Close. To avoid this recommend ESRI update the Target for the ArcGIS Pro shortcut as follows: "C:\Program Files\ArcGIS\Pro\bin\ArcGISPro.exe" --disable-features=UseEcoQoSForBackgroundProcess This same pattern appears to work for a shortcut for to ANY .exe (e.g., works for your Chrome and Edge shortcuts).

For effective licensing you would need to provide a license key file to each customer. This key file would be placed at a well known location to your add-in. On startup of the add-in the file would be read, if missing or invalid go into demonstration mode; If found read the key and validate (e.g., the most effective would be to send to a web server (as an API call) to validate the key exists and has not expired). The key would need to be encrypted. You could also place a date in the key file to allow timeout after D days, M months, or Y years. Main idea is you will need a way to validate the key exists and is valid. You can add additional verification checks by having your customer provide a user name and/or a domain name were the license will be considered valid when they make the purchase. See: System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory<> for domain or string userName = Environment.UserName for user name.

You can also do something like this that would give you easy access to Query to the table. For example, there is a Select method that Searches and retrieves specific rows in this Table that satisfy the criteria set in the queryFilter. If no query filter is set, all rows will be retrieved. This method must be called on the MCT. Use QueuedTask.Run. (Inherited from ArcGIS.Core.Data.Table) // You can open a FeatureClass as a Table which will give you a Table Reference. using (Table featureClassAsTable = geodatabase.OpenDataset<Table>("LocalGovernment.GDB.AddressPoint")) { // But it is really a FeatureClass object. FeatureClass featureClassOpenedAsTable = featureClassAsTable as FeatureClass; } Also, recall that you are using CODE this means you could open the table using standard ODBC connectors (especially if the feature class is stored in SQL).

Yes. The GUID of your add-in will control the ‘order’ the tools are added to the toolbar. For example, project with GUID {8e190f33-95f2-4249-ae7d-bcfa45a44e72} will be Loaded before project {e1f4eeee-e695-4fab-b358-1f0fd8006c0b}. Your DAML would look something like this: <modules> <insertModule id="MapAnSRLocation_Module" className="MapAnSRLocationTool" autoLoad="false" caption="MapAnSRLocationTool">  <tabs>  </tabs> <groups>  <group id="GISWorkbenchPro_Group3" caption="Add-In Tools" appearsOnAddInTab="false" keytip="Tool">  <tool refID="MapAnSRLocationTool_BasicMapTool" size="large" /> <button refID="MapAnSRLocation_Button1" size="large" /> </group> </groups> <controls>  <button id="MapAnSRLocation_Button1" caption="Map an SR" className="MapAnSRLocation" loadOnClick="true" smallImage="Images\FindRouteLocation16.png" largeImage="Images\FindRouteLocation32.png" condition="esri_mapping_mapPane" keytip="T2"> <tooltip heading="Map an SR">Find State Route Location<disabledText /></tooltip> </button> </controls> </insertModule>  <updateModule refID="GISWorkbenchPro_Module"> <tabs> <updateTab refID="GISWorkbenchPro_WSDOT_Tab"> <insertGroup refID="GISWorkbenchPro_Group3" insert="after"></insertGroup> </updateTab> </tabs> </updateModule> </modules>

The code shown above is designed to allow only one instance of the Form to be open at any given time. If you have a Close button on the form you could use form.hide to vs. form.close as well to ensure only one instance of the form is ever created.

In your implementation config.daml you set a className in the <button> tag. This is the class that is initiated when the button is clicked in the ArcGIS Pro tab. This class will have a OnClick() event that is fired each time you click the button on the interface. Assuming you are opening a Form you can catch the event something like this. //declare an instance of the Form you want to open public static GISWB_Main mainForm = new GISWB_Main(); protected override void OnClick() { var mapView = MapView.Active; //Only open the form if we have an map open if (mapView != null) { if (mainForm.getFormHandle() == null) { //do other things such as set the from name, version numbers, etc. that you want to dynamically update before opening the form for the 1st time. mainForm.setFormHandle(mainForm); mainForm.Show() } else { mainForm.Show(); } } } The below items would be in the class definition (not in the Form) public void setFormHandle(Form theForm) { theMainForm = theForm; } public Form getFormHandle() { return theMainForm; }

Recall there were several breaking changes between 2.8 and 3.1 versions of ArcGIS Pro. I would start by looking at your.Net dependencies in Visual Studio since Pro 3 requires .Net Desktop Runtime 6.0.9 or higher while 2.8 ran under .Net 4.8. When you say, in my Add-Ins folder, are you sure this folder is set in the registry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ESRI\ArcGISPro\Settings\Add-in Folders with a subkey with the path to the add-in? After a successful build I copy the Add-In to a well known location to Test. The folder name of the add-in use the GUID, and inthe folder is your .\images subfolder, myaddin.esriAddinX, myaddin.deps.json, myaddin.dll, myaddin.xml, etc.

In regards to the AddInfo line: <AddInInfo id="{6b41516a-b426-4b2c-9881-fa4148328d3a}" version="3.2" desktopVersion="3.2.0.49743"> The version sets the lowest level that the add-in will run in. In your case ArcGIS Pro 3.2 or higher will be required before the Add-In can load/run. The desktopVersion should represent the version that you did your Visual Studio build against. I see you are using the <dependency> tag, did you change any GUIDs? <dependencies> <dependency name="{9466cc69-3fce-4774-8134-d94377460abd}" />  </dependencies>

Similar issue here, after a purchase is made, I must validate that the license, subscription, etc. has been 'received' prior to authorizing payment. However, within our ArcGIS Online subscription I was removed from the Administrator role (because I only logged in once a month to check licensing). So now there is no way to see if new subscriptions are successfully provisioned to our AGOL organization.

Place to start is to ensure your Visual Studio 2022 is at version 17.8 or higher and that you have .Net 8 installed.

‎05-08-2024

Thank you for updated the documentation. I would say that our issue was not a 'one-off', we have over 1800 machines in our environment with ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Desktop and it took several days to track down the correct version of .Net 6 to install.

After cleaning up your DAML to remove references to the unneeded buttons, you also need to update the build date for the Add-In. ArcGIS Pro will only reload an Add-In if the AddInfo <date> xml tag contains a date that is Newer than the version currently cached on the computer. <AddInInfo id="{43ea84e4-7b44-4d76-80ba-44095ba768b4}" version="1.0" desktopVersion="3.0.0.34794"> <Name>ConfigWithMap</Name> <Description>ConfigWithMap description</Description> <Image>Images\AddinDesktop32.png</Image> <Author>ArcGIS Pro SDK Team, [email protected]</Author> <Company>My Companies Name Here</Company> <Date>11/7/2016 10:32:40 AM, 2016</Date> <Subject>Configuation</Subject> </AddInInfo>

If you found a repeatable inconsistency, I would encourage you to place a bug report with Esri. That is the only way to get this addressed. The bug is either in the help documents for the LayerDocument(graphicLayer) object OR an unexplained behavior in the CIMLayerDocument object.

My Add-ins show unique Icons in ArcGIS Pro Add-Manager screen. The image must be available to the Add-In when run on the client's computer. Yes in File Manager they will look like regular files (based on Windows defaults).

Which lead to the web.config route were the string would be saved in a XML file vs. the settings area in Visual Studio. This would allow you to edit the connection string without recompiling...but remember that ArcGIS Pro only (re)downloads an Add-In if the DAML is updated with a new creation date. Thus even if you changed the XML you could not guarantee that the Add-In would actually read the new file on startup (unless you have the configuration file on a separate well known location that you do a traditional file read from). However, this solution actually would be less secure since all end users would need read access to the 'well known location').
