SpatiaLite Provider Code for SharpMap 0.9

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) so it should be pretty solid.

I started developing it against SpatiaLite 2.2 and finished working with 2.3 but I only tested it against 2.3. It is written in C#. It is also dependent on the System.Data.SQLite OLEDB provider.

I will probably leave off with this for a bit now. There has been a lot of talk about using SpatiaLite as a transfer format for sharing data in sneaker-net or quasi-sneaker-net. In order to push that a little farther along, I plan to turn my attention to building an exporter/importer tool for use in ArcGIS. My thought is to be able to export an ArcGIS feature class to SpatiaLite and import one back in from it. I wrote a similar tool for PostGIS a while back but the code is ugly and builds an intermediary SQL file. This give me a chance to clean that up. That won’t help with being able to read a SpatiaLite table in ArcGIS and have it behave like a feature class but I think we’ll get around to that sooner than later. I have no timetable for that effort since client work comes first but I’ll post it when it’s done.

Have fun!

12 thoughts on “SpatiaLite Provider Code for SharpMap 0.9

  1. Bill,
    Thanks for the great work, i hope u can help me, i am new to the gis programming… i need to import data from an AXF file this is what the arcgis guys provide for exchange, i need to display the data on the map… can you give me any hints on where to start.
    Thanks

  2. If someone else has not started it, I might take a shot at a direct reader for ArcGIS Desktop / Server for SpatiaLite. I’ve done it before for another third-party spatial data store and it worked out pretty well.

  3. created a demo vb.net project with sharpmap v0.9 compiled with
    spatiallite provider.
    I also tested the functionality to load ( .loadshp) and save shape
    ( .dumpshp) files to sqllite. in .net i had an error executing these
    command and had to create a batch file and execute it using the
    shell .
    I want now to save some nts geometries to spatialite and the write the
    shp (using dumpshp) file.

    I would now probably have to write sql scripts to add the nts
    geometries to the db using wkt i suppose.

    Please advice me if you have time 🙂

    Anyone interested will be happy with this demo just to start and test
    things.

  4. Glad to put it out there. One of these days, I’ll actually get around to rolling up to v2. Time is my enemy. The code looks pretty nice, though. You guys are putting a lot of thought/work into it.

    Thanks for stopping by.

  5. Bill,
    I hope there is nothing -terribly- wrong with the SpatiaLite provider in the trunk of SharpMaps repository on googlecode.

    Thanks for the 0.9 Version.
    Cheers
    FObermaier

  6. Thank you, Regina. I hope you find it useful.

    I’ve been very impressed with SpatiaLite so far, as well. I like the GEOS functions that extend it beyond just MBR relationships. SQLite seems to be a pretty robust engine for its footprint and SpatiaLite extends it quite nicely.

    Next up for me is tackling interop with ArcGIS.
