Welcome to Map Suite™ Spatial Data Extension from ThinkGeo, an add-on for Map Suite Desktop, Web, Silverlight and Services Editions that enables reading of spatial data from ArcSDE 9.3. Now you can use the familiar tools of Map Suite to render ArcSDE data just like you would ShapeFiles, Oracle Spatial or other supported formats.
Activating the Spatial Data Extension is as easy as adding a reference in your Map Suite project. In just a few lines of code, your ArcSDE data is exposed in Map Suite as a layer and a FeatureSource so that you can programmatically read the data.
In this article, we will discuss how to install Map Suite Spatial Data Extension 6.0.0.0 or higher on your machine and upgrade your development environment.
