Interactive SDK samples

A collection of samples, termed the Interactive SDK, provides a set of functional and instructive samples for using the ArcGIS API for Windows Phone. You can use the samples in one of the following ways:

• Go to the Interactive Windows Phone SDK on the web
• Download the Interactive Windows Phone SDK samples and use it locally

Instructions on how to set up and use the sample code locally are provided in the following section.

Set up the Interactive Windows Phone SDK locally

1. Get the ArcGIS API for Windows Phone on your machine. See Getting started for details.
2. Get the Interactive Windows Phone SDK samples on your machine. Unzip the sample to a location of your choice. It includes a solution and project with the C# code for the ArcGIS API for Windows Phone samples.
3. In Visual Studio 2010 or Visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone, open the solution.
4. If necessary, repair the references to the ArcGIS API for Windows Phone assemblies.
5. Compile the solution to generate the .xap file. The Interactive SDK can now be deployed to either the Windows Phone emulator or a developer registered Windows Phone device.

Note:

While the Interactive Windows Phone SDK is provided both in both an interactive web format and for download, the structures of the two are slightly different. The downloadable version contains a Visual Studio project that you compile and run, making use of the Windows Phone emulator. The web version is instead a Silverlight application, providing a Windows Phone emulator for use on the website. The samples provided are the same in both formats; only the user experience for interacting with them differs.
