Let&#8217;s move beyond search.
At the UC, I recall ESRI stating that Silveright is only intended for &#8220;lightweight&#8221; editing.
After looking at Kirill Osenkov&#8217;s Live Geometry overview video, it sure seems feasible to write a silverlight COGO editing tool, leveraging his source code on codeplex.
While it likely wouldn&#8217;t be cost effective to do everything the ArcGIS Survey [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ambergis.wordpress.com&blog=659783&post=1124&subd=ambergis&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

It must be a Danish thing: recognizing the importance of interfaces to construct large assemblies from small components.
Ole Kirk Christiansen started it all with his invention of Legos in 1934.
In 1979 Bjarne Stroustrup began extending this way of thinking into software with C++.
In 2000 Anders Helsberg brought the Legos aesthetic to Microsoft, when he came [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=ambergis.wordpress.com&blog=659783&post=1099&subd=ambergis&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
