I hope I'm posting in the right group.<br>
<br>
I am trying to use the conversion capabilities of ogr2ogr to convert a<br>
shapefile to kml format so I can basically have a user select a shp file and<br>
automatically convert it without having them go to the command prompt and<br>
type out the commands or any of that.<br>
<br>
I was handling this by passing commands to the command line to automatically<br>
generate the necessary commands to do this conversion.<br>
<br>
My question is, what all do I need to include to be able to use the<br>
ogr2ogr.exe fully? Or is there a way to include the dll's do handle it<br>
without the use of the command line?<br>
<br>
The reason I was asking was I wanted to give them the bare minimum necessary<br>
to perform the conversions and not have to worry about them having to do a<br>
full blown install and then worry about what directory they placed the files<br>
in and everything of that nature.<br>
<br>
I would like to either:<br>
a) Include the ogr2ogr.exe and the dll's it needs to run and then just pass<br>
the commands like I am doing now<br>
or<br>
b) Include the dll's in the project so I can use the conversion without<br>
having to run ogr2ogr.exe through the command prompt.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
