Code Summary

Drag and Drop Custom Controls Bring ArcGIS Server Mapping to the Desktop.

These custom controls allow the programmer to design and implement desktop based ArcGIS Server applications in minutes. With drag and drop capabilities and full design time support you can rapidly deploy map applications across an organization. Use the controls separately or together to design robust mapping applications.
Since the controls use the SOAP API you won’t need to worry about installing any ESRI components client side. Even the programmer using the controls doesn’t need to know any ArcGIS Server related code.

The control set includes a Map Control, Table of Contents Control, Toolbar Control, Identify Results Window and Search Results Window. These controls communicate with the ArcGIS Server Map Services through the SOAP API which frees the developer to maintain complete control of the application.

Through the unique design of the Map Control your application will support all navigation and sophisticated display routines you’ve always wanted from ArcGIS Server.

Perform functions such as translating your Map service into a fully functioning Table of Contents with support for multiple maps, labeling and symbology right out of the box. It even supports cached and non-cached services.
With the toolbar control you can get exclusive access to Identify, Search, Map Navigation and MapTips.

Complete with all source code, complete code documentation(including Help file) and sample application you will be up in minutes. Best of all you have the source code for it all.
