A geospatial career journey
Another ESRI Dev Meetup is happening in the DC area on November 10th. This time, it’s at Fire Station One in Silver Spring, MD (kudos to Nick Furness for doing a good job of moving them around the DMV). These are generally a good time and ESRI doesn’t actually try to drive the content train … Continue reading ESRI Dev Meetup, Silver Spring, MD
Note: The application described in this post is running here. It requires Silverlight 4. I was perusing my LinkedIn connections and noticed that quite a few had PMP certifications. I also noticed that most of those who did seemed to be in the Washington, DC area. Of course, given that I live in that region, … Continue reading Mapping GISP and PMP Certifications with GeoCommons and the ESRI Silverlight API
In a previous post, I mentioned that I developed a MeasureString function for use in developing an annotation tool. In this post, I’ll go into a little bit more detail about that tool. For purposes of discussion, I extended the interactive graphics sample from the Esri Silverlight API interactive SDK. For starters, I added another … Continue reading Simple Annotations With the Esri Silverlight API
We are approximately a month away from the Esri Federal User Conference. It is probably the largest geospatially-themed event in the DC/Maryland/Virginia area each year and has gotten bigger each year. I have documented this conference in the past and have pointed out that, despite its name, there is a lot of information that can … Continue reading DevGeo Session at the Esri FedUC
Despite recent news regarding Silverlight, I expect some of my projects to continue using it for the near term. Others may be taking the same tack, so I thought I’d go ahead and offer this up. Several of the projects I support have the requirement to periodically refresh specific layers in order to track change … Continue reading DynamicLayer Auto-Refresh for ESRI Silverlight API
Updated: This demo application now running here. I will update this demo periodically, as time permits, so keep checking back. At the 2010 ESRI Federal User Conference, WeoGeo announced the availability of a toolbar for interacting with WeoGeo Market and private libraries from within ArcMap. This, combined with Dan Dye’s series of posts showing how … Continue reading Browsing WeoGeo Market Using the ESRI Silverlight API
I’m heading out this morning to the FedUC. Since it’s in my back yard, I usually hit it every year but, this year, I’m staying up in the city to save myself an even more hellish commute than usual. The lingering snow and ice has thrown roads in this area into mayhem. Rumor has it … Continue reading Heading to the 2010 ESRI Federal User Conference
The 2010 ESRI Federal User Conference is fast approaching. As one of the larger geospatially-oriented events to occur each year in my neck of the woods, I make it a point to attend. Over the last few years, the conference has grown in attendance and content and it’s always a good place to meet up … Continue reading Open Post: Will you be attending the ESRI Federal User Conference?
ESRI has released version 1.5 of the ArcGIS Server Javascript API. You can see what’s new here. I am most excited about SSL access but that’s just me.
I just noticed that the samples page for the ESRI Silverlight API in the ESRI Resource Center has been updated to include samples for interacting with MapIt. I haven’t had a chance to dig into MapIt yet but these should help you get started if you’re using Silverlight. (Which I am for one project.
