c++ and python = woot!

Everything old is new, and so begin my venture back into the C++.  My focus now is using C++ libraries with ArcObjects, slightly different then what I did way back in the before times.  

Some tips:

  • Create a DLL project and ensure that the ArcGIS/com folder is mapped to the project properties -> 'VC++ Directories' -> 'Include Directories'
  • get comfortable with resources.arcgis.com and the Visual Studios help system
  • Experiment and push the limits
Enjoy the ride
