MultipleShapeFileFeatureLayer()

This is a constructor for the class.

If you use this constructor, then you need to set to required properties manually.

MultipleShapeFileFeatureLayer(String)

This is a constructor for the class.

This constructor allows you to pass in the path and filename pattern to match.

• multipleShapeFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the matching pattern to determine which Shape Files are loaded.

MultipleShapeFileFeatureLayer(String,String)

This is a constructor for the class.

With this constructor you can specify differently-named indexes for the layer. If you have one large index, specify its path and filename here. If you have smaller single indexes, use wildcards to specify a pattern to match instead. For example, if you had 50 road Shape Files named C:\Roads\??Roads.shp (where ?? is the two-character state abbreviation), but only one large index, then you would specify a string like “C:\Roads\Roads.idx”. If you instead had 50 individual indexes whose names matched the Shape Files, then you would use “C:\Roads\??Roads.idx”.

• multipleShapeFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the path and filename matching pattern that determines which Shape Files are loaded.

• indexFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the path and filename matching pattern that determines which index files are loaded.

MultipleShapeFileFeatureLayer(IEnumerable<String>,IEnumerable<String>)

This is the constructor for the class.

This is the constructor for this class.

• shapeFiles
  • Type:IEnumerable<String>
  • Description:This parameter represents the shape files to construct the MultipleShapeFileFeatureLayer. The format of it should be new string[] { “C:\CA_counties.shp”, “C:\AZ_counties.shp” }.

BuildIndex(String)

This method builds a spatial index for the layer.

This overload allows you to pass in a Shape File path and filename pattern. It will generate indexes for each Shape File it finds, matching the index file names to the Shape File names.

• Type:Void
• Description:None

• multipleShapeFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the matching pattern that defines which Shape Files to include.

BuildIndex(String,BuildIndexMode)

This method builds a spatial index for the layer.

This overload allows you to pass in a Shape File path and filename pattern and determines if we re-build index files that already exist. It will generate indexes for each Shape File it finds, matching the index file names to the Shape File names.

• Type:Void
• Description:None

• multipleShapeFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the matching pattern that defines which Shape Files to include.

• buildIndexMode
  • Type:BuildIndexMode
  • Description:This parameter determines whether an index file will be rebuilt if it already exists.

BuildIndex(String,String)

This method builds a spatial index for the layer.

This overload allows you to pass in a path and filename pattern for Shapes Files and index files. If you use a pattern for the index file name, it will generate indexes for each Shape File it finds, matching the index file names to the Shape File names. Alternatively, if you use a concrete index file name, it will generate one large index instead. If you enter an indexFilePattern like “C:\Roads\??Roads.idx”, it will build individual indexes for each Shape File and name them according to the pattern. If you enter an absolute name, like “C:\Roads\Roads.idx”, it will create one large index for all of the Shape Files.

• Type:Void
• Description:None

• multipleShapeFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the matching pattern that defines which Shape Files to include.

• indexFilePattern
  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the matching pattern of how to name the index (or indexes).

BuildIndex(String,String,String,String)

This method builds a spatial index for the layer.

This index-building method is very useful when you have a large number of Shape Files that contain only certain records you want. For example, you may have an individual Shape File for the states of Texas and Florida that contains only those states' roads. They are named TXRoads.shp for Texas and FLRoads.shp for Florida. Inside of these Shape Files there is a column that determines whether the roads are normal streets or highways. You, of course, want to draw highways differently. You could use a ValueStyle, but that would be slow because you'd have to look though all of the records at runtime to determine which are the highways. A better solution is to build a custom index that only has highways in it. In this way, you generate the index once and then runtime performance is fast. In our scenario, we would create an index to include all of the road Shape Files by using the pattern “*Roads.shp”. This will make sure we get both the Texas and Florida roads. Next, we specify the RoadType column as the column parameter. Then we provide a regular expression match that picks out all of the highways, and name the resulting index “Highways.idx”. We can then build another, separate index just for the normal streets. In this way, we can quickly sort the roads from the highways – and we didn't have to cut up our Shape Files to do it.

• Type:Void

• multipleShapeFilePattern

  • Type:String
  • Description:This parameter is the name of the index file you want to generate for the features that match the regular expression.
