ArcGIS Pro SDK for .NET:Introduction, Samples, and How to Contribute

Uma Harano, Wolfgang Kaiser

What is the ArcGIS Pro SDK

• Customization with Tasks• .NET Addins for extending Pro (C#, VB)• Arcpy for automating Pro (Python 3.4)• Modern asynchronous API (native .NET)• Pro SDK Resources

- ProSamples- ProConcepts- ProTutorials- ProSnippets- API Reference- … more

.NET Extensibility Through Add-ins

• Familiar extensibility model to desktop programmers• Any of ArcGIS Pro’s UI Elements can be used by Add-ins• Add-ins consist of: A module and code files An xml Configuration file (Config.daml) A .esriAddinX deployed to a well known folder

.Net SDK Development Patterns

• ArcGIS Pro is a:- WPF Application using .Net 4.5- Multi-threaded Application

• .NET Addins for extending Pro are:- WPF with .Net 4.5- Are Multi-threaded- Using the ArcGIS Pro API – which comes with Pro out-of-box

DAML

• Add-ins introduced at 10. • Notion of xml based configuration – Add-in UI aspects declaratively

defined• For Pro, the entire UI is declaratively defined

- Extensions use DAML same as Add-ins

Framework constructs the UI based on the combination of elements declared in Extensions daml + Addins daml- Insert (implicit)- Update- Delete

DAML –element hierarchy

DEMO

Conditions, States, and Declarative UI• We say ArcGIS Pro has a conditional or contextual UI• Simplifies the “Enabled” coding pattern (as compared to ArcObjects)• Conditions and States control the Visibility of Dockpanes and

Ribbons.- Condition == true means Visible- Condition != true means Hidden

Map View

Layout View

Executing Commands

• System.Windows.Input.ICommand Pattern as used in .Net / WPF • ArcGIS Pro ICommand Interface on IPlugInWrapper• Each command (and all UI elements) identified by a unique identifier (id attribute in

DAML)

ICommand proCmd = FrameworkApplication.GetPlugInWrapper(

DAML.Button.esri_mapping_newMapButton) as ICommand;

if (proCmd.CanExecute(null))

proCmd.Execute(null);
