We are pleased to announce the 100.11 release of ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET. This release includes significant new features, enhancements to existing features, performance improvements, bug fixes, and a preview of the roadmap. You can read about the highlights common to all ArcGIS Runtime SDKs in the shared ArcGIS Runtime blog post and additional details in the 100.11 Release Notes. For our .NET community here are several more highlights...     API: Support for WinUI 3 (preview)   With the 100.11 release we have updated the preview of ArcGIS Runtime support for WinUI 3 to target version 0.5.5 which was released recently as part of Project Reunion 0.5.  Note: While WinUI 3 - Project Reunion 0.5 is the first stable, supported version of WinUI 3 that can be used to create production apps that can be published to the Microsoft Store, support for WinUI with ArcGIS Runtime is still in Preview and cannot be used in production at this time. To try out ArcGIS Runtime and WinUI 3: Follow the Microsoft docs Get Started steps to Create a WinUI 3 desktop app for C# and .NET 5. Open the NuGet Package Manager for your new WinUI application project. Install package Esri.ArcGISRuntime.WinUI version 100.11.0-preview3. Open MainWindow.xaml. Add a XAML namespace e.g. xmlns:esri="using:Esri.ArcGISRuntime.UI.Controls" Add a map view control (and remove the StackPanel) e.g. <esri:MapView x:Name="MyMapView" /> Open MainWindow.xaml.cs Open a browser and go to your ArcGIS Developer dashboard to get your API key. Set your ArcGIS API key e.g.  ArcGISRuntimeEnvironment.ApiKey = "<Your_API_key_here>"; Create a new map and set the map view's map property e.g. MyMapView.Map = new Map(BasemapStyle.ArcGISChartedTerritory); Run the app to see ArcGIS Runtime and Win UI in action. The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET sample viewer for WinUI has also been updated: https://github.com/Esri/arcgis-runtime-samples-dotnet/tree/main/src/WinUI.  API : UI interaction and rendering   UI and rendering enhancements for the end-user and for the developer: Improved support for system-wide dark UI appearance (Dark Mode) in the Attribution Control for MapView and SceneView on Android, iOS, UWP, and WinUI. Support for mouse, trackpad, and keyboard gestures on iOS. Support for the double-tap+drag gesture to zoom in/out in Android and iOS.

ArcGIS Runtime Local Server SDK 100.10 is now available for download from the ArcGIS Developers site. This is an incremental compatibility release that provides support for geoprocessing and map packages created with ArcGIS Pro 2.7.x. As previously announced, with this release ArcGIS Desktop 10.x packages are no longer supported with ArcGIS Runtime Local Server. The previous release, version 100.9, was the last ArcGIS Runtime Local Server release to support ArcGIS Desktop 10.x packages. Note: If you are using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET (Esri.ArcGISRuntime.WPF) you will need to update any projects referencing Esri.ArcGISRuntime.LocalServices from 100.9 to 100.10 via NuGet.org or alternatively download the package from NuGet.org to the local Esri NuGet source created by the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Visual Studio extension (%localappdata%\Esri\NuGet) and then update your projects. ArcGIS Runtime Local Server is an optional component for the ArcGIS Runtime SDKs for .NET, Java, and Qt. It provides world-class scientific spatial analysis capabilities and data connectivity for your custom offline desktop applications. For more information please see the Local Server guide topics for .NET, Java and Qt. We hope you’ll find these updates to ArcGIS Runtime Local Server useful as you continue to build amazing technology for your customers with ArcGIS Runtime. ... View more
