See
How to use ArcGIS samples
for help on compiling, setting up the debugger, and running the sample.
If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders.
However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.
Start Visual Studio.
Press F5 to run the sample.
Play the Zoom Slider to view map images in the gallery.
Double-click an image to open the Globe Viewer window, which displays the associated .3dd file in the ArcGIS Globe control. Multiple Globe Viewer windows can be opened simultaneously (it can take longer to open the first map, but should be faster when opening subsequent maps).
Click the tools such as Navigation, Fly, and TargetZoom to view the globe map. When done with the Fly tool, press Esc to release it.
Close the Gallery window.
Additional information
The map must be in Joint Photographic Experts Group (JPEG) image format with a stored thumbnail to display in the gallery. The images in the sample are exported individually from an ArcGlobe application, then edited in Kodak digital camera software to create the stored thumbnail.
