The C# v4 SDK has reached GA! Make sure to download it, and check out the C# v3 to v4 migration guide. As with the other v4 SDK releases, the C# v4 SDK is re-written from the ground up to be lighter, faster, and easier-to-use than ever before. Some of the new improvements include:

New Blocks Available!
April, 2017
Our catalog is growing. Check out our latest blocks you can use to make your applications even more feature rich:
- Esri Geoenrichment – Esri is the global market leader in geographic information system (GIS) software, offering powerful mapping and spatial analytics technology. The Esri Geoenrichment API can be used to query and display information from a large collection of enhanced demographic data sets including population, income, housing, consumer behavior, and the natural environment.
- Esri Geocoding – The Esri World Geocoding API converts an address or place name to latitude and longitude. For example, if you know the address of a business and want to put it on a map, you can use geocoding to find the coordinates.
- AIception Object Detection – AIception offers a variety of APIs for object identification and detection. The AIception BLOCK for object detection allows you to analyze an image file and identify what is in the picture. For example, you could determine the ingredients used on a menu of salads, or identify different birds in the wild — all in real time.
