ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight


ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight 1.0.1 Released March 2012. See What's new for more details.

The ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight 1.0.1 allows you to quickly create rich web mapping applications using a fully interactive configuration experience. You can set up and modify an application's basemap, operational layers, tools, colors, title, logo, layout, links, and more without writing any code or editing any configuration files. Moreover, the Viewer is fully extensible, so designers and developers can implement new tools and create new layouts and easily integrate them into the Viewer.

With the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, you can:

  • Use ArcGIS Online, Bing Maps, or ArcGIS Server map services as basemaps
  • Add data from ArcGIS Server and ArcGIS Online on top of your basemap
  • Open maps from ArcGIS.com
  • Perform map navigation
  • Find addresses and place names (through ArcGIS Server or ArcGIS Online services)
  • Run GIS analysis (via Geoprocessing services)
  • Edit features of feature layers that have editing enabled
  • View tabular data for datasets within the map
  • Zoom to layers and selected features
  • Print using pre-supplied layouts
  • To use the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, download and install the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight and start creating your applications using the Application Builder. To get started developing add-ins for the Viewer, download and install the ArcGIS Extensibility SDK for Silverlight and get started by writing tools and behaviors with Visual Studio 2010, or layouts with Expression Blend 4.
