  • I got the book you referenced a couple of months ago... best money I've ever spent. You'll need to know some C# though, if you're a beginner programmer then you'll struggle a little bit. Commented Jul 24, 2013 at 23:43

    You are really looking more for resources from the ArcEngine standpoint; these are more stand-alone applications that use ESRI logic but are written from the front-end by you the developer. I am not sure if there really is much published content dead-tree edition; but pretty much anything you find through resources.arcgis.com and developer.arcgis.com will get you source information. Just focus on ArcEngine. Commented Jul 25, 2013 at 0:08
  • Thank you for the advice. Fortunately, I have programming experience with the .NET Framework, among other technology stacks. Commented Jul 26, 2013 at 22:29
  • What is the RDBMS behind your geodatabase? You might be able to just use spatial SQL operators to do your point in polygon query. Writing a standalone ArcObjects application may be overkill. You might also look into ArcGIS Runtime which is newer and lighter weight. Basically, you need a better reason to be using ArcObjects than the reasons you've stated. Commented Oct 10, 2013 at 2:06
