RE: How to use GDI with given impx-file in my own AddIn

So sorry I didn't respond earlier.

@Jan - thanks, I found the code snippets. The code snippets didn't cover WFS import directly, but was a help in understanding the Geospatial Data Interchange API.

@Todd - the program requirements changed several times, so for a while I have used the key-in.

Right now the status on the user interface is:

1) to avoid the window "WFS connect". Our users don't know anything about URL, username or password. The window appears both on using the key-in and by using the GDI API.

2) to avoid long wait, by trying to split "opening the import file" and "performing the import"

I have the following code:

using BGDI = Bentley.Geospatial.DataInterchange;

...

BGDI.GDIExplorerImportsNode importsNode = BGDI.GDIExplorerAddIn.Instance.ImportsNode;

BGDI.GDIExplorerImportNode importNode = importsNode.OpenImportFile(_impxFile);

importNode.Import(true);

...

where the method .OpenImportFile(_impxFile) opens the window "WFS connet" (I have tried the overload method, with the additionaly arguments for username and password - looked like the arguments was ignored. The impx-files contains a "Username"-parameter)

Does anyone have the solution to 1) avoid the "WFS connect" windows?

(and I might not be able to solve 2) by making background work on the single instance of the GDIExplorerAddIn ;-) - but I will try)

Hi sha,

There is no documented public API to do this. Is there any reason your application cannot issue the key-in?

Thanks,

Todd.

Hi sha,

are you BDN member? If I remember right, there were some code snippets how to use Geospatial Data Interchange API in BDN DevCon 2012 examples.

With regards,

Jan
