ESRI ArcIMS 9.1, Is There a Point?

May 31st, 2005 · 1 Comment · ArcIMS

Well I’ve had some time to look at our ArcSDE 9.1 and ArcIMS 9.1 and I’m not really sure if either needs to really be upgraded. I think I’ll upgrade ArcSDE because we don’t really do and direct programming with it so I’m sure ArcCatalog can connect fine and I’m sure our existing ArcIMS sites [...]

ESRI, MapObjects and .NET

May 30th, 2005 · No Comments · ArcGIS Engine, ESRI, MapObjects

As I’ve posted here a couple times, we are looking at moving to a complete .NET environment. We’ve not really decided on what tools we’ll use, but that will come probably after we start testing ArcEngine.
I was researching some .NET threads on ESRI’s support site while floating in the pool on a Memorial Day weekend [...]

The Carbon Project

May 28th, 2005 · No Comments · Uncategorized

We’ve been working on MapObjects application in .NET this past month, trying to see how it would work using some COM objects (previously we’ve always just used VB6). While it seems to have worked well enough, getting it to deploy has been quite a pain. We just can’t seem to get the MO runtime to [...]

ESRI ArcGIS 9.1 Is Here…

May 27th, 2005 · 1 Comment · ArcGIS Desktop

Of course UPS shows up at 5pm on the Friday before a 3 day weekend. Somehow I was able to not stay late and install ArcINFO, ArcIMS and ArcSDE 9.1 to play with. I must be getting older and wiser as this doesn’t sound a thing like me.
I’ll have to wait until Tuesday to see [...]

Designing a Front End…

May 26th, 2005 · 3 Comments · ArcIMS, ArcSDE, ESRI, Mapserver, Open Source

I manage a GIS at a small company in Tempe, AZ. We’ve been designing web based GIS sites since the old ArcView IMS extension. We’ve moved from MapObjects IMS to ArcIMS 3,4,9 and now we’ve begun to look at UMN Mapserver. Basically we’ve heard from clients that they are having problems with the cost of [...]

Spatially Adjusted Is Back…

May 25th, 2005 · No Comments · Uncategorized

I’ve decided to restart Spatially Adjusted this summer. The old site was merged into my other weblog Tonkinese.net and the redirect as of this post is still aimed there. I can’t pull those posts back here as Blogger doesn’t have an import function.
I’m not really sure where Spatially Adjusted will be this time around, but [...]
