Abstract
Using MapObjects for Enterprise GIS at the City of CalgaryTrack: System Implementation for GIS
Author(s): Stephen Gale
In mid-1999, the City of Calgary (population 800,000) selected Esri software as their enterprise GIS. The GIS office has now implemented a centralized ArcSDE database, with ArcInfo for spatial data creation, ArcView for power users, ArcIMS for Intranet delivery, and MapObjects in Visual Basic for desktop application development. This paper presents a summary of how MapObjects is being used for the delivery of GIS. Existing Visual Basic applications have been spatially enabled through the use of a map component. With a minimum of effort, the map component can be added to any VB application. A technical overview of the component will be provided.
