[postgis-users] PostGIS and .NET?

[Obe, Regina DND\MIS]

I also realized that there are 2 open source PostGreSQL.NET implementations
out there.

1) There is the one I've used Npgsql - which came out of the Mono Project
2) There is a new one -  which I suspect is only compatible with PostGres
7.4 and above, but it seems to inherit from the base Npgsql classes (above
and adds on additional functionality).
http://pgsqlclient.sourceforge.net/

This second version supports the native postgresql geometry types (not the
PostGIS geometry types), but it may be worth taking a look at.

Thanks, Regina and Paul for your the suggestions about this. I actually had
an idea of putting these classes through J# - which allows Java syntax code
to run in .NET. Another idea I had was to use the old J++ product to
compile the Java classes into COM components and then use the .NET/COM
interop functionality.

I'm not so interested in graphical visualisations, as I want to access the
GEOS (  :-) !!!) functions to do come spatial relationship computations.

If I get anywhere, I'll send you the code.

thanks,
Peter.

 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.
