A geospatial career journey
Over on Google+, Diego Guidi let me know that the SharpMap 1.0 Release Candidate has been released. There was a time when I worked with, and wrote about, SharpMap a lot. During that entire time, the stable version of SharpMap sat at some version number that started with “0.9”. The release of a 1.0 candidate … Continue reading SharpMap 1.0 RC1 Released
I got a surprise e-mail from Felix today letting me know that the SpatiaLite provider I posted some time ago, along with Kev’s great spatial index work, has been included in the SharpMap repository. If you’re looking for one place to pick them up, now you’ve got it. If you haven’t checked out SharpMap or … Continue reading SpatiaLite Provider Now In SharpMap Repository
I mentioned in an earlier post that I was working on building a SpatiaLite data provider for SharpMap 0.9. That effort was mainly a learning exercise for me as work has already begun on one for SharpMap 2.0. I am making the source code available below. I have unit tested it (thanks mbUnit3 and Gallio) … Continue reading SpatiaLite Provider Code for SharpMap 0.9
Following up on my post a few months back about GeoJSON and SharpMap; here is the code to the converter as it stands so far. I have mentioned recently that things have been pretty busy at work so I have progressed on this more slowly than I had wished. I have yet to insert code … Continue reading Writing GeoJSON from SharpMap, Part 1.5
In between proposals, white papers and the like, I’ve been able to do a little coding to keep myself sane. Recently, I have been playing with SharpMap, GeoJSON and OpenLayers. But not necessarily in that order. Originally, I was looking over the GeoJSON spec to get more of a feel for it and decided that … Continue reading Writing GeoJSON from SharpMap, Part 1
In the words of Pete Townshend (as sung by Roger Daltrey): “Why should I care? Why should I care?” I can’t answer that one for you. I ran into this post while searching out something else. It shows how to get ASP.NET running under Apache on Windows. Curiosity got the better of me and I … Continue reading SharpMap on Apache
As promised, I have uploaded the data provider code I mentioned earlier to the SharpMap site. It’s written in C#. I took the existing Oracle provider, stripped out the Oracle SQL and put in T-SQL. There are a couple of things I’m still trying to chase down but it’s basically done at this point. I … Continue reading SQL Server 2008 SharpMap Data Provider Code
I downloaded the November CTP yesterday and couldn’t resist. Today I wrote a SharpMap data provider for it. The black rectangle below represents a sample data set I created. It’s not as pretty as the Mexico data I used with SQLite but it’s beautiful to me. It’s being displayed in the DemoWinForm app that comes … Continue reading SharpMap and SQL Server 2008 Spatial
It seems there’s been a little more buzz about SharpMap lately and some folks have been doing some fact-checking with James offline. He deftly spun the question of “viability” into “popularity” by citing CodePlex statistics. Can’t say I blame him. The question of viability when it comes to open-source, especially smaller projects, can be tough … Continue reading Is SharpMap Viable?
A few weeks ago, I blogged about the end of the line for MapObjects. I waxed nostalgic about how fun it was to develop with MO and how, although I haven’t used it in a while, I’ll still be sad to see it go. Well, I’m glad I’m over that! I been working with SharpMap … Continue reading SharpMap and WPF
