[gdal-dev] Creating a new raster and adding data

[Henneke, Amanda M]

Thanks Even!  Your suggestion worked, adding each band individually!!  
Also, thanks for writing up that ticket, I'm glad to know I wasn't going crazy!!

Amanda,

you're not doing anything wrong now. It's rather a defect of the current C# GDAL bindings when dealing with multiple bands. See ticket
http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/ticket/3073 that contains a proposed fix for the issue.

In the meantime, you can use the WriteRaster() method on each band instead. 
For most drivers, it will have similar performance to WriteRaster() on the dataset itself.

Best regards,
Even
