The Geocortex Sample Flex Viewer provides Geocortex Essentials licensees with a viewer template for creating applications based on the Esri and Latitude Flex APIs. Release 2.1 highlights include:
- Viewer Template Engine Support: The Viewer is now shipped as a template which can be “plugged-in” to the Viewer Template Engine in Geocortex Essentials.
- Internationalization: The Viewer is now internationalized, meaning it can now be localized for languages other than English.
- Updated ArcGIS API for Flex Support: The latest version (2.3.1) of the ArcGIS API for Flex is included and completely supported.
- Quality Improvements: Various bugs/issues identified since the last release have been resolved.
- Availability of Source Code
Sharing the design principles of our Geocortex Viewer for Silverlight, we hope our customers enjoy working with this next-generation viewer design that seeks to incorporate the simplicity of web mapping with the power of feature-rich web-GIS applications. More information can be found in the Geocortex Support Center.


Based on previous statements from the Geocortex team I thought that you would not be developing the Flex viewer any further. I see that almost a full year passed between versions 2.0 and 2.1.
Is this an indication that you will be picking up Flex development again, or is this release primarily to support existing Flex customers?
I am very interested in seeing if your Flex viewer will be updated to support ArcGIS Flex 2.4 and therefore Flex Mobile on iOS and Android.
Any feedback very much appreciated!
We are doing some work with our Flex API, such as implementing Forms. We plan on releasing a new version of our Flex API in the coming months. This release would support 2.4. Following that, we may release a new version of the viewer. This would need to be confirmed in terms of timeline and priorities.
Thanks for the post.
