I have Visual Studio 2010 and I have installed the 1.0.1 Silver light viewer for ArcGIS.  I wanted to try and create some add-ins but I am having issues.  I've installed both of these:

ArcGISExtensibility2_4__en
ArcGISSilverlightViewer1_0_1_x64_en

However, when I go to VS2010 and click on File/New/Project/Other Languages/Visual C#/Silverlight/ I only have these options:

Silverlight Application
Silverlight Class Library
Silverlight Navigation Application

I do not see anything ESRI.  What am I doing wrong?

Hi Michael,

Just as a start, which version of Visual Studio do you have installed? Supported versions are Visual Studio 2010 and Visual Web Developer 2010 Express. I'm only asking since your path is "Visual Studio 2010 VB Web".

Okay great. So, here is what you need to do:

1. Copy the ESRI Viewer folder (contains EsriViewer.zip) from the install location, probably "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight\" to the matching location of your Visual Studio 2010 install location (<your install location>\Common7\IDE\ProjectTemplates\CSharp\Silverlight\).
2. Follow the instructions here: How" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms247116.aspx]How To: Restore Default Project Templates.

Let us know how that goes.

I think that might have fixed it. 

Thanks looking foward to

Will this class at the conference cover the viewer?

Building Web Applications Using ArcGIS API for Silverlight/WPF 
Using ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), you can build engaging web applications that incorporate ArcGIS services. This hands-on seminar explains how to use ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF and the Silverlight platform to efficiently create high-performing web mapping applications that meet the needs of the intended audience. Learn about the components available in ArcGIS API for Microsoft Silverlight/WPF; how to write code for a Silverlight-based application; and how to incorporate GIS services that allow end users to visualize, query, and edit geographic data. While this seminar focuses on functionality available with ArcGIS 10.1 services, many concepts are applicable to ArcGIS 10.0 and 9.3.1 services.

Level: Intermediate

Prerequisites: Attendees should have experience developing applications for the Silverlight platform using XAML and C# or Visual Basic .NET, accessing services using the ArcGIS Services Directory, configuring web mapping applications using ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, and authoring web maps using ArcGIS.

Audience: Web developers and GIS professionals who want to create Silverlight-based web applications that include GIS services and functionality.

Fee: $495.00

This class/presentation is more geared toward those who want to create their own custom Silverlight application with the ArcGIS API for Silverlight, as opposed to configuring and customizing the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight. I don't believe this course will specifically cover creating add-ins for the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight.

Can we get a class for the conference that does this?  I would love to know as much about the viewer as possible.  I would sign up today if you make the class available.  I'm shocked you guys have not done this already.

Hi Michael,

Take a look at Rich Zwaap's presentation from the Developer Summit, Configuring" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">http://video.esri.com/watch/1181/configuring-and-customi... and Customizing ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight, as I think it will actually help to answer many of your questions. I suspect he will also be doing this presentation at the User Conference. Thanks for the suggestion on putting together a class, though, as we can keep that in mind for the future.
