New API Types and Members

Summary
The API has not been changed for the 1700 release. This topic lists the new API types and members which were introduced in ArcGIS Explorer 1500.

Add-ins compiled with ArcGIS Explorer 1700 or 1500 will not be compatible with earlier versions of ArcGIS Explorer, due to the introduction of new API's at the 1500 release. Add-ins compiled against previous versions of ArcGIS Explorer will continue to run in ArcGIS Explorer 1700 and 1500 as API compatibility is maintained; however it is recommended that any add-ins are tested with all new releases as minor changes in underlying application behavior or functionality may cause problems in an add-in.

ArcGIS Explorer 1700 API

No API changes for this release.
