| Namespace | Description |
|---|---|
| ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API | The ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API namespace provides types that allow developers to create custom tasks for ArcGIS Explorer, and work with the existing items which comprise the application such as the Results window, Views and Layers. |
Remarks
The ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API assembly is installed with ESRIs ArcGIS Explorer application. It is generally recommended when adding the E2API reference manually that you set the CopyLocal and SpecificVersion reference properties to False, using the Properties window. For more information about these properties, see the Visual Studio documentation.

To make use of this assembly, you should ensure you have installed the ArcGIS Explorer SDK. To find out more about developing with ArcGIS Explorer, visit the ArcGIS Explorer Community site at www.arcgisexplorer.com.
The types contained within the ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API assembly belong to their own namespace so they are not confused with types in other .NET assemblies. For example, the ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API assembly contains a Point Class that represents a point in 3D space (X,Y & Z) specifically for use in ArcGIS Explorer. The .NET System.Drawing assembly also contains a Point Class that represents a point in 2D space (X & Y only). If your project has a reference to both the System.Drawing assembly and the ESRI.ArcGIS.E2API assembly, the compiler need to make a choice as to which Point class is used. Namespaces help to resolve such ambiguity. For a further explanation of assemblies and namespaces, please make reference to Microsoft .NET documentation.
