Art Haddad has just posted an update on his blog of some of the new features coming soon. Its been a while since we’ve heard from Art regarding some of the cool new stuff to come out from ESRI. With 9.2 very quickly approaching beta, the guys at ESRI are pretty flat out, and Art has mentioned this.

One of the biggest and new features coming with 9.2 is the .NET Web ADF. The new ADF contains a number of new spatial controls, and as you can imagine im dying to get my hands on this.

Some of the spatiall controls coming in 9.2 from Art:

  • Support for multiple Servers and Services – works with ArcGIS Server, ArcIMS, ArcWeb Services, OGC, and any other custom datasource that you care to implement using the new Datasource API. Support for multiple Datasources in the same view – yes, we now support adding data sources (i.e. Services) to the map and manage the drawing for you asyncronously.
  • Support for .NET 2.0 and the new ASP.NET Parts framework.
  • IDE Integration with VS.NET 2005 (in addition to VS.NET 2003)
  • A new Web Services publisher and framework – a new ASP.NET Handler framework written especially for ArcGIS System Web Services (*.agsx) – much faster than in 9.1.
  • No more image loading graphics.
  • All controls are AJAX enabled.
  • Game-style navigation.

    I so cannot wait for the 9.2 beta to come out! Going to be some pretty amazing stuff to play with considering Visual Studio.NET 2005 is being released in November as well!
    I have been thinking though, are ArcSDE guys following suit?, in 9.2 will there be support for SQL Server 2005?, as this is released in November as well!
