Abstract
 Dynamic Application for ArcGIS Using .NET WinForms, Oracle Stored Procedures Track: Defense and Intelligence Author(s): Stephen Gaughan, Joel Schlagel Management of the deployment, maintenance, and update cycle for complex client-side ArcGIS applications is a primary obstacle to large-scale Enterprise GIS implementations. To address this problem, The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Remote Sensing/GIS Center has developed a suite of tools for ArcGIS that allows windows to form objects like textboxes, buttons, and drop-down lists to be configured at runtime using Microsoft .NET technology and database-driven form objects. The application suite consists of database tables of form objects and stored procedures accessed through an administrative database. The Oracle database-driven suite allows dynamic configuration of tools based upon server-side logic. When an application requires updating (because of database changes or otherwise), the system administrator makes changes to layout and functionality at the centralized database. Changes are propagated to users immediately (with a simple refresh button) rather than requiring multiple system administrators to re-install the application on hundreds of computers (requiring time and money).
