If the geoprocessing or map package files (.gpkx
or .mpkx
) used by your application reference enterprise geodatabase connections, then you may need to install client software for the RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) on your development and deployment machines. For more information on supported database types, database versions, and client software required, refer to the ArcGIS Pro documentation topic Supported databases.
Add a reference to the Local Server API
To develop with ArcGIS Maps SDK for .NET and ArcGIS Maps SDK for Local Server you must add the Esri.
NuGet package to your WPF or WinUI 3 application projects. The Esri.
NuGet package contains classes to work with Local Server. These classes include functionality for managing the Local Server environment, such as setting the path of temporary files, and classes for managing the life cycle and properties of local geoprocessing and map services.
If ArcGIS Maps SDK for Local Server is not installed on your development machine, the first time you build your project after referencing the Esri.
NuGet package you will receive a build error. Follow the steps above to install ArcGIS Maps SDK for Local Server.
