ArcGIS Runtime for WPF

Overview

ArcGIS Runtime : Service Based Architecture

• Like ArcGIS Server, service based architecture is used to access GIS data and functionality

• Not a coincidence – ESRI sought to align the developer experience

Alignment with ArcGIS Server service based architecture

• Services accessed locally, or hosted by ArcGIS Server across a network, or across the web (eg. ArcGIS Online)

- Service based architecture- Distinct separation between API code and Runtime implementation- Clients can access services from any ArcGIS REST service provider- Managed Code APIs – compiled for CPUAny, hence may be deployed

to 32bit or 64bit OS

- Smaller deployment foot print (convenience, portability)- Only deploy the assemblies required

- Runtime is contained in the packaged deployment- Removes the overhead of maintaining version compatibility between

co-existing Runtime applications (ie. Side By Side deployment)

- Underlying intent – Optimum performance - eg. asynchronous requests, hardware graphics acceleration

Inherent Benefits

Licensing & Deployment• Licensed through EDN program, plus …..?

• Deployment : - License string is contained within source code, and is thus incorporated at

compile time

- Deployment licenses

- Purchased on a per deployment basis

- Bundles of 25

- “Honour System” to be reviewed after 6/12 month period

• Dev Summit 2012

- Acknowledgement : Runtime potentially paves the way “GIS AppStore”

- Hints at reasonable/accessible pricing model (Unconfirmed, but EXCITING all the same)

• EDN clients will receive Runtime SDK’s – 10.1 update

• Install the WPF SDK- Central Runtime

- API Assemblies

- Samples

- Documentation – API & Conceptual

- VS2010 / Blend4 Templates
