Create SHP file

[sekko970]

Hi all,
I need to create a shape file programmatically in an ASP.NET application: is it possible using FDO API?

If no, how is it possible to personalize the structure of an existing empty shape file, always using FDO API?

An examples of the APIs to use should be very evaluable.


Thanks,
F.

Creating shape files is a special case in FDO. What you do is bascially connect to a directory of your choice, and then execute an IApplySchema command. A shape file will be created for every feature class inside the schema that is being applied.

Hope that helps.

Thanks,
