Extending ArcObjects with .NET (Visual Studio 2012 Express + ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2) - 01 - Getting Started

The first episode of In this video we will introduce the setup you need to start programming with ArcObjects. Then we will create a new Visual Basic ArcMap project. Add a toolbar and a command, link the two and then add an event to display a message with the user clicks on the button.

We will also introduce our first ArcObjects interface IApplication and we will change the title or ArcMap when the user clicks on the button.

I will include the source code of our work for each episode. For the work we will use Visual Studio 2012 Express and ArcGIS for Desktop 10.2.2 which are available for download from the links below.

I'm very proud of this title, Building Web Applications with ArcGIS

Among the books I wrote, this one stands out. I have used a story based approach starting from the first chapter up until the very last appendix.

This book starts with a problem. A problem that you will be solving. A client hands your his requirements to build a web application with ArcGIS. With each chapter you will be implementing one functionality until you bring and complete the entire project and web site up and running in the last chapter.

All this is being done with the ArcGIS for Javascript API, not feeling like writing code? With each chapter I hand you the end result source code.




I believe that this book will benefit a lot of those who want to begin programming with ArcGIS for Javascript. It doesn't require you to have any prior knowledge of ArcGIS as well.
