[Mapserver-users] ASP and MapServer

[woodbri at swoodbridge.com]

Ok, you got me :( I'm not sure how to solve this problem in the ASP 
world. 

A tool I have used in Perl is Geo::ShapeFile, if I remember correctly 
it might be easy to do a straight port of it to ASP code. You can get 
it at 
http://search.cpan.org/src/JASONK/Geo-ShapeFile-2.10/
This should have the code in it to read both shp and dbf files.
