Synopsis

UpdateFeb 2017: All sample codes in the book (all downloadable) had been tested against all versions of ArcGIS 10.x (including 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4). The codesamples can be used without any changes.
 
Get the very most out of the ArcGIS for Desktop products through ArcObjects and .NET (covers 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, and 10.4)
ArcGISfor Desktop is a powerful suite of software tools for creating and using maps,compiling, analyzing and sharing geographic information, using maps andgeographic information in applications, and managing geographic databases. Butgetting the hang of ArcGIS for Desktop can be a bit tricky even for experiencedprogrammers. Core components of ArcGIS platform arecalled ArcObjects.
This bookfirst introduces you the whole ArcGISplatform and the opportunities for development using various programminglanguages (chapter 1 and 2).
Then itfocuses on ArcGIS for Desktop applications and makes you familiar withArcObjects from .NET (C# and VB) point ofview. Whether you are an ArcGIS user with no background in programming or aprogrammer without experience with the ArcGIS platform, this book arms you witheverything you need to get going with ArcGIS for Desktop development using .NET.
The restof the book dedicated to ArcObjects programming (chapter 5-14).
Writtenby a leading expert in geospatial information system design and development, itprovides concise, step-by-step guidance, illustrated with best-practicesexamples, along with plenty of ready-to-use source code. In no time you'llprogress from .NET programming basics tounderstanding the full suite of ArcGIS tools and artifacts to customizing andbuilding your own commands, tools, andextensions, all the way through application deployment.
Among other things, you'll learn to:

• Object-Oriented and Interface-based programming in .NET (C# and VB.NET)
• Finding relationship between classes and interfaces using object model diagrams
• Querying data
• Generating data
• Processing and analyzing data
• Visualizing geographical data using various rendering
• Creating various kinds of Desktop Add-Ins (commands, dockable windows, extensions)
• Performing foreground and background geoprocessing
• Deployment of Add-Ins and advanced tips about it

Learn how to improve your productivity withArcGIS for Desktop and Beginning ArcGIS for Desktop Development Using .NET

From the Back Cover

Your complete, step-by-step guide to getting started with ArcGIS Desktop programming in .NET

ArcGIS Desktop is a powerful suite of software tools for creating and using maps, compiling, analyzing and sharing geospatial information, and managing spatial databases. As with any sophisticated software package, getting the hang of ArcGIS for Desktop applications can be a bit tricky, even for experienced programmers and GIS professionals.

Whether you are an ArcGIS user with no background in programming or a programmer without experience with the ArcGIS platform, this book arms you with everything you need to get going with ArcObjects programming in .NET right away.

Written by a leading expert in geospatial information system design and development, it provides concise, step-by-step guidance, illustrated with best-practice examples, along with plenty of ready-to-use source code. In no time you'll progress from .NET programming basics to understanding ArcObjects to customizing and building your own Desktop Add-Ins all the way through application deployment.

Among other things, you'll learn to:

• Perform interface-based programming in .NET
• Create Desktop Add-Ins such as buttons, toolbars, and dockable windows
• Read ArcObjects object model diagrams
• Access maps and layers
• Query geospatial data and work with three types of cursors
• Render vector and raster layers
• Embed hyperlinks and flexible map tips
• Manage geospatial data through the geodatabases model
• Manipulate shapefiles and geodatabases
• Boost functionality with the geoprocessing framework
• Perform background geoprocessing
• Deploy custom components with custom behavior
• Deploy add-ins

From performing simple spatial queries and bulk loading of a vast amount of vector data to background geoprocessing, Beginning ArcGIS for Desktop Development Using .NET gives you everything you need to adapt this powerful tool to suit your needs.
