[postgis-users] PostGIS and .NET?

[Paul Ramsey]

If you're concept proving, then the .NET driver hopefully does what the 
JDBC driver does with unknown types: returns them as text. So you can 
get the WKT forms of the geometry and parse that. That is all the JDBC 
driver does behind the scenes anyways :) Once you have a 'need for 
speed' you can switch to parsing the WKB, either in ASII or binary form.
