Resources available in ArcGIS Engine Development

Arcgis has been used for the second development of ArcGIS for many years. It is very important to use the available materials. These materials mainly include:
1. ESRI Software Documentation Library
This ESRI Software Documentation Library is a very valuable book for ArcGIS development. We can download the corresponding product Documentation (http://support.esri.com/index.cfm? Fa = software. gateway), or after you purchase the corresponding ArcGIS product CD, after you install it through CD, all the documents will be stored in the <installation_directory> \ ESRI_Library) directory.
2. GIS Dictionary
This GIS dictionary contains almost all ArcGIS application interface, instance, and Operation introduction. This can be obtained through the ESRI support center or through ArcGIS help, with this feature, we will easily find the methods we want to use, examples of implementation functions, and so on. It will help you well to get twice the result with half the effort when developing ArcEngine ..
3. ESRI Data and Maps
ESRI Data and Maps CD. Under normal circumstances, if you have purchased a Desktop and ArcEngine, you should have this CD, which contains map Data for the US license, although this data is of little use in our actual application, it is of great use for our development, example data, and test data. all the lost Data is Smart Data Compression (SDC)
Format. The Raster Data has various formats, including ESRI Grid and MrSID image. When using the data, there is a description in it. For more information, see. Most importantly, we can use this data during Desktop and Engine operations.
4. Knowledge Base
I think this knowledge base is very important. I can search for some technical articles, frequently encountered problems, software configuration restrictions, product White Papers, system requirement information, product documentation, etc, this information can help us solve some problems in our real development, or deploy a GIS system to consider factors (http://support.esri.com/index.cfm? Fa = knowledgeBase. gateway )..
5. Downloads
Here we can get the latest software patches or modifications, as well as the latest example code, example code (ArcScripts), data model, and software evaluation, these will help us to develop ArcEngine better and faster. Pay special attention to whether someone has encountered the same problem when encountering a problem that cannot be solved, or is it necessary to install the latest software patch to solve (http://support.esri.com/index.cfm? Fa = downloads. gateway ).
6. User forums
On ESRI's user forum, you can ask questions, answer questions and other things, you can also go to ESRI's China Forum to seek answers, Esri: support.esri.com or ESRI China: bbs.esrichina-bj.cn. Here you can get some information about the ArcGIS product.
7. Contact ESRI
Through the ESRI support center, you can contact the ESRI Technical Support Center to report software errors (bugs) and submit software suggestions or updates. Similarly, in ESRI China, you can contact ESRI China (Beijing) Co., Ltd.
8. ESRI Developer Network
ESRI Developer Network (EDN) is a one-year software development resource provided every year to build a wide custom GIS solution network. EDN programs include providing Developer Tools and most resources, but they are only important or valuable to users, not all consumers can get it in this way (as if in China I still don't know who has obtained all ESRI development resources in this way), but on ESRI's EDN, you can get a lot of resources, such as example code and documents.
9. Various GIS websites, forums and blogs

Make full use of developed information and use various excellent GIS websites such as www.3snews.net [/url] and Forum www. gisforum, blog [url] www.gisfoot.com, search for your own problems and you will have unexpected gains. Even if you haven't found the answer to your questions, you can also ask them on major websites or blogs. Someone else will answer them for you.

In short: I personally feel that the most used is the documentation under the Development Directory and the major GIS websites, forums and blogs, including object model diagrams, documents, examples, tools, and help, in addition, support.esri.com and EDN.
