swig mapscript interface

[Tamas Szekeres]

Cris,


For C# you should access the field value by index as

string myvalue  = myshape.getValue(index);

index should be less than shapeObj.numvalues.

Currently the field access by array (shapeObj.values) cannot be used due to
the absence of a C# typemap for the string array.

To access the value by field name your shape should belong to a layer.
You could achieve similar functionality as implemented in php like

if (myshape != null && mylayer != null && myshape.numvalues ==
mylayer.numvalues)
{
  for (int i=0; i<mylayer.numitems; i++)
  {
    if (mylayer.getItem(i) == "Country_Code")
    {
      myvalue = myshape.getValue(i);
    }
  }
}


Best Regards,

Tamas Szekeres
