Overview – ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET

• Enables you to build native apps:- WPF- Universal Windows Platforms apps (UWP)- Xamarin.Android- Xamarin.iOS- Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, UWP)

• Use all ArcGIS Runtime functionality

• Share your .NET/C# business logic code across platforms• Use platform-specific UI frameworks: Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, UWP, and WPF• Use Xamarin.Forms framework to share UI logic

- Supported on Android, iOS, and UWP.

Capabilities

Capabilities

Getting started

Installing ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET

• Add NuGet packages within Visual Studio- WPF, UWP, Xamarin.Android, Xamarin.iOS, Xamarin.Forms (Android, iOS, UWP)

• Visual Studio installation (VSIX) – Windows onlydevelopers.arcgis.com/downloads- Project templates for each supported platform- Local NuGet package source

What can you build?

• Apps from a template- Map-centric- Single platform- Cross-platform: Shared project or .NET Standard

• Extend your own apps - Add ArcGIS Runtime from a NuGet package- Existing projects- Non map-centric

• Class libraries- Encapsulate functionality for reuse on supported platforms
