ArcGIS Runtime SDKs: Building .NET Apps Mike Branscomb Rich Zwaap Agenda • Overview • ArcGIS Runtime Architecture • Current Release Highlights • Building an App • Troubleshooting • Road Ahead Overview ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Overview • Integrate ArcGIS capabilities into your .NET apps • API - Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) - Universal Windows Platform (UWP) - Xamarin.Android - Xamarin.iOS - Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, and UWP) • SDK - Templates, Toolkit controls, Doc, Sample code, Tutorials, Open Source Apps, Community • Cross-platform - Share your .NET C# business logic code across Android, iOS, and Windows - Share UI code across platforms with Xamarin.Forms on Android, iOS, and UWP Installing ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET • Add NuGet packages from NuGet.org within Visual Studio - WPF, UWP, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, UWP) - Toolkit • Visual Studio extension (VSIX) - developers.arcgis.com/downloads - Project templates for each supported platform - Local NuGet package source for offline development ArcGIS Runtime Architecture ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Overview – ArcGIS Runtime An Architecture Designed to Maximize Performance and Reuse C++ runtime core Android iOS Linux macOS UWP Win DirectX x86 x64 ARM64 OpenGL OpenGL ES Overview – ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET An Architecture Designed to Maximize Performance and Reuse Xamarin.Forms Android iOS UWP WPF C++ runtime core Android iOS UWP Win DirectX x86 x64 ARM64 OpenGL OpenGL ES Current Release Highlights ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET 100.5 – April 2019 • Mobile scene packages • Layers: Group, Point Cloud, Point scene, & Integrated Mesh • Subsurface navigation • 3D performance improvements • KML Tours & Refresh overrides • WFS • Next generation raster tile packages (.TPKX) and locators (.LOZ) • Enhanced symbology support and API for greater parity with ArcGIS Pro • Reference scale for text and symbols • Annotation layers • UWP ARM64 Support Sample Viewer Apps in App Stores Demo Current Release Highlights 100.5 Enhancements – Documentation • Search: Improved ranking of pages • New and improved `…Offline…` topics • Updated `Layer types described` topic • Enhanced `Symbolize data` topic • Updated `Essential vocabulary` • Improved `Deploy your app` topic for Xamarin.Android 100.5 .NET SDK-Specific Enhancements • Serialize credentials for persisting between sessions - As the developer you must store securely on the device • Mouse / trackpad navigation improvements for WPF/UWP • SketchEditor behavior enhancements • Added ARM64 support to UWP • WPF honors software rendering if set at a system-wide or app-wide level - e.g. RenderOptions.ProcessRenderMode = System.Windows.Interop.RenderMode.SoftwareOnly; • WPF Higher default number of concurrent network requests for tiles • Improved template discoverability in Visual Studio 2019 for Windows Demo Building a .NET app Demo Summary • Target all platforms from Visual Studio • Share almost all code cross-platform • Many great resources to draw from - Guide doc - Samples - Tutorials - GeoNet - Open Source Apps - Demos - Toolkit Troubleshooting ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Troubleshooting – ArcGIS Runtime Exceptions • Check ArcGISRuntimeException errors • Platform error codes in the Guide doc • https://developers.arcgis.com/net/latest/wpf/guide/platform-error-codes.htm Troubleshooting - Logging • ArcGIS Runtime uses System.Diagnostics.Trace to provide errors and information - ArcGISRuntime initialization info - Rendering mode (if using Windows software rendering) - DirectX rendering errors • By default `DefaultTraceListener` will write to Visual Studio Output window • If debugging - Check the Visual Studio Output window • If no debugger - Add SystemDiagnostics.TraceListener - EventLog TraceListener - TextWriter TraceListener Troubleshooting – Debugging Crashes • ArcGIS Runtime debug symbols (.pdb files) available on Esri symbol server - WPF & UWP • Add the esri symbol server: - In Visual Studio: Navigate to Tools > Options > Debugging > Symbols - Add a `New Location` & specify the esri symbol server - URL: http://downloads2.esri.com/support/symbols - Ensure the checkbox is checked next to the new URL in the list of `Symbol file (.pdb) locations` • Enable native code debugging: - In Visual Studio: Navigate to Project > Properties > Debug - Under the section `Debugger engines` check the box to `Enable native code debugging` • When debugging the app or a crash dump file (.dmp) locate the following modules then right click > Choose `Load Module`: - RuntimeCoreNet.dll - runtimecore.dll Road Ahead ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Road Ahead Planned Features • v100.6 – Late Summer - New features - Performance improvements - Stability and quality • v100.7 – Late 2019 - Support for building WPF apps with .NET Core - Remove dependency on system-wide .NET Framework - Create entirely self-contained applications - Benefit from .NET Core performance improvements Demo WPF & .NET Core 3 Summary ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET Lifecycle information • ArcGIS Runtime 10.2.x retires in Dec 2019 - https://support.esri.com/en/Products/Developers/native-runtime-sdks/arcgis-runtime-sdk-for-dotNET • Microsoft ends support for Windows 7 on January 14 2020 - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4057281 - Now is the time to upgrade to Windows 10! - ArcGIS Runtime Q4 2019 release will be the last to support Windows 7 Summary • ArcGIS for Developers site is your development dashboard • Guide doc & API ref doc • Sample code • Open Source Apps • Toolkit • Plus - .NET Team Demos repo • Get involved with the community on Geonet!
