ArcGIS for Developers
A complete mapping and analytics platform
The ArcGIS for Developers program offers a full suite of geospatial developer tools and resources. This program includes the ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET which enables developers to add map visualization and geospatial capabilities to native apps built using .NET. This empowers app users to do all things spatial—from simple map display and directions to editing and sharing of geographic data to advanced visual analysis. The ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET includes WPF, UWP, iOS, and Android APIs that enable .NET developers to build native mapping apps for Windows, iOS, and Android devices.
ArcGIS Runtime goes beyond basic mapping—it combines the power of the ArcGIS Platform with your data to deliver engaging, interactive, and high-quality mapping experiences how and where you need them. ArcGIS Runtime offers the following benefits to help you build and deploy native applications with powerful spatial capabilities:
High Speed Performance
ArcGIS Runtime is built on a C++ native core and takes advantage of GPU and other device resources to optimize display and interaction with both maps and data.
Work Offline
Use local maps and data to support offline workflows. ArcGIS Runtime supports local access to a wide variety of vector and raster data formats, including GeoPackage, Shapefile, and GeoTIFF. In addition, the ArcGIS Platform provides convenient tools for packaging and delivering maps and their data for offline use.
Advanced Cartography
Create and use beautiful, detailed, interactive symbols to optimize cartographic display, improve map readability, and communicate priorities in both 2D and 3D experiences.
Use the ArcGIS Platform
The ArcGIS Platform provides powerful tools, applications, and services to create, curate, stylize, host and secure your geographic data, maps, and workflows. The ArcGIS Platform also includes ready-to-use content and services you can combine with your data. ArcGIS Runtime works seamlessly to utilize and collaborate with all parts of the ArcGIS Platform to provide a comprehensive mapping solution.
Cross-Platform and Cross-Device
ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET integrates with the cross-platform capabilities of the .NET Platform. .NET developers can use ArcGIS Runtime to support mapping experiences and geospatial workflows in a single, shared codebase for native client applications that target Windows, iOS, and Android devices.
Integrated with Visual Studio
ArcGIS Runtime for .NET easily integrates with Visual Studio via NuGet and includes a set of application templates to get started. The SDK includes extensive guide and API reference documentation as well as source code for samples, example apps, and a toolkit to supplement native mapping components and workflows.
