[fdo-users] Clarification of Spatial Context

[Dan Stoica]

FdoIActivateSpatialContext command has been deprecated. Which providers are still advertise it? SHP doesn't.

In any case, you should not use it since the geometric property's associated spatial context gives all the info you need.

Subject: [fdo-users] Clarification of Spatial Context


I am trying to use FDO to connect to a variety of data sources. I am a little
unclear about the coordinate systems. The connection will display available
spatial contexts and a geometric property will indicate it's associated
spatial context. I have noticed that the associated spatial context does not
always appear in the connection's list until that context is set as the
active spatial context.

Are the geometry data returned in the coordinate system identified by the
geometric property's associated spatial context or are they converted to one
that is identified as active on the connection? Do I have to set the context
on the connection each time I do a fetch of a geometry? For example, I am
accesing two different shapefiles and they are in two different coordinate
systems and I am a bit confused on how to properly work with the contexts.
