Contributing
Esri welcomes contributions from anyone and everyone. Please see our guidelines for contributing.
This guide describes how you can contribute improvements to the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight source code.
- Make sure you have a GitHub account.
- To add an enhancement or fix a problem, create an issue.
- Be descriptive. Clearly describe the issue including steps to reproduce and, if possible, a sample. If an enhancement, clearly describe the additional functionality and provide a good use case to support it.
- Fork the ArcGIS Viewer for Silverlight repo on GitHub.
- Clone it to your local machine.
- Checkout the master branch.
- Create a new feature branch on your local machine. The name of the branch is not important.
- Write code to add an enhancement or fix a problem.
- Follow the coding conventions already used in the source code.
- Document your code.
- Make commits of logical units.
- Use clear and descriptive commit messages.
- Test your code.
- Push the changes in your feature branch to your repo.
- Submit a pull request against the "master" branch.
- In the pull request comments, add a reference to the issue the pull request resolves. For example, if the pull request resolves issue 45, add a comment to the pull request that includes "#45" (no quotes).
Expect a good amount of feedback as part of any pull request. Pull requests will be reviewed and tested, and may be rejected for various reasons. If rejected because it would cause a breaking change or includes a feature that is out of scope, it will be closed permanently. If rejected because the proposed changes failed code review or testing, please review feedback, fix and resubmit as necessary.
