[postgis-users] PostGIS and .NET?

[Obe, Regina DND\MIS]

 I was interested in something similar too.  I was thinking of subclassing
the PostGreSQL.NET driver and basically taking the existing Java classes
that Refractions has provided and converting that to its C# equivalent.
Looking at the code I think it should be a fairly straight forward
conversion and probably a lot of it can be automated with the Java to .NET
conversion tools.

Although I don't know too much about the graphical rendering side of things
when it comes to using it in a meaningful way.

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.
