ArcGIS API for Silverlight beta version released

When the slogan "Silverlight map Xinji Yue" has not yet been implemented, ESRI can't wait to respond. Before the developer conference starts, the API will be published directly to make people experience it. It is estimated that we would like to familiarize the students with the discussion before the conference, so that they can submit bugs and suggestions on site, so as not to talk empty. The full name of this API is"ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF", On this page (http://resources.esri.com/arcgisserver/apis/silverlight/) You can find library files, examples, help documentation, etc.

I used to want to act as a good person and introduce relevant situations, such as usage and examples. I have taken a look at the relevant information and have done a very comprehensive job. First, you can find download of Silverlight development-related software in the help document, and getting started of esri sl api basics. However, I have an idea. The help document can also be presented using Silverlight, which makes it easier to view and feels more novel.

Second, the demo in the interaction example is easy to understand. If you have Silverlight and GIS experience, there is almost no guidance required. You can quickly get started with a large and complete demo. This is easier for others to refer to and modify than simply releasing an example (Project) with a large number of functions. Of course, both of them are the best.

Or you have discovered that this commendable interactive Sample Page is nothing more than the Microsoft Silverlight toolkit Sample Page. But I don't think it's about plagiarism? Why can't we learn and imitate good things? What's more, there shouldn't be any copyright for page design. ESRI can learn Microsoft, Silverlight can learn air, and you can also learn from Lei Feng's role model.

The introduction is complete, but I am not satisfied with the level of news website editing as an information transmitter.

ESRI's Silverlight API supports Microsoft Virtual Earth. ESRI won't be mentioned much if it is known and can be inferred. As mentioned yesterday, Microsoft has its own vesl map control, which will be released over the past two days. Three months ago, the famous (?) The Flash/Python map component/library modestmaps stops supporting Google map. In our words, Google has its own flash map API because of the well-known reasons.

At the same time, the other one that will be in the embarrassing situation will be deepearth. The competition for ve map and VE WebService won't be over Microsoft, and the competition for GIS won't be over ESRI. There is always an exception. Microsoft and Esri are always relatively closed, and the door to support other data sources is likely not to be opened. OpenStreetMap and Amazon S3 are always useful.

When talking about Amazon, we used the feeling of Silverlight map over the past two days to use Wang Xing (the founder of the school, fanwe, and overseas). Why do I add a comment, because there are still too many people who don't know him .) As the end of this article (the evaluation of esri sl api architecture and functions will be further discussed .) :"Every time I hear that Amazon's cloud computing service has introduced new features or that its applications are getting richer and richer, I feel like a Chinese man with a braid in the last year of the Qing Dynasty has gone abroad, people can see steam engines, trains, and ships. In this revolutionary technology, we are always lagging behind and far behind ...... "
