I am working on a C# addin, which among other formats, must be able to export Esri Shape files and MapinfoTAB files. For now I have got it working sending keyins, but I would like to use the Bentley.Geospatial.DataInterchange API.
I have looked in the GeoDataInterchangeAPI. chm help file, but I as fare as I can see, the help file don't match the API, as I see it referenced from Visual Studio.
Can anyone help me with an example, or some code snippets?

Greetings Peter,
Maybe the following code snippets can get you going?
public static void SHPExportWithCriteria (bool addToExports) { GDIExplorerExportNode exportNode = new GDIExplorerExportNode("mytown"); exportNode.AddExportDirectory(GDIExplorerExportNode.FileCreateType.SHP, @"c:\temp\exp"); //we can optionally add the new import to the Imports node in the Interoperability dialog if (addToExports) { GDIExplorerExportsNode exportsNode = GDIExplorerAddIn.Instance.ExportsNode; exportsNode.AddExportNode(exportNode); } ImportWithCriteria(exportNode, false, true); if (!addToExports) { //we might need to close the storage if we're not adding it to the tree IStorageImportCriteria storageImp = exportNode.StorageImports[0] as IStorageImportCriteria; IECCreateableStorage createableStorage = storageImp.Storage as IECCreateableStorage; if (createableStorage != null && createableStorage.IsOpen) createableStorage.Close(); } } public static void SetupCriteria(IImportCriteria import, bool overrideCriteria) { //Define query/selection criteria at the feature class level for import, export and Oracle Spatial query operations. //Define spatial criteria for import, export and Oracle Spatial query operations. //Select included/excluded feature classes for import/export operations. IStorageImportCriteria storageImp = import.StorageImports[0]; //the following two sections basically accomplish the same thing. if (overrideCriteria) { IClassImportCriteria myLotsClassImp = storageImp.ClassImports["mylots"]; //create some property criteria IECProperty property = myLotsClassImp.Properties["BLOCK"].Property; IECPropertyValue propVal = property.CreateValue(null); propVal.IntValue = 5; ECPrimitivePropertyValueCriteria blockPropValCrit = new ECPrimitivePropertyValueCriteria(property.Name, property.Type, ECPropertyComparisonOperations.PROPCOMP_Equal); blockPropValCrit.ComparisonValue = propVal; property = myLotsClassImp.Properties["FLOODZONE"].Property; propVal = property.CreateValue(null); propVal.IntValue = 13; ECPrimitivePropertyValueCriteria fzPropValCrit = new ECPrimitivePropertyValueCriteria(property.Name, property.Type, ECPropertyComparisonOperations.PROPCOMP_Equal); fzPropValCrit.ComparisonValue = propVal; //combine them using OR ECCompoundCriteria mylotsPropCrit = new ECCompoundCriteria(ECCombinationOperations.COMBO_Or); mylotsPropCrit.CriteriaList.Add(blockPropValCrit); mylotsPropCrit.CriteriaList.Add(fzPropValCrit); //create a compound criteria for the class, property and spatial criteria IECCompoundCriteria classCrit = new ECCompoundCriteria(ECCombinationOperations.COMBO_And); classCrit.CriteriaList.Add(new ECClassCriteria(myLotsClassImp.ClassDefinition)); classCrit.CriteriaList.Add(mylotsPropCrit); //create an overall compound criteria IECCompoundCriteria overallCriteria = new ECCompoundCriteria(ECCombinationOperations.COMBO_Or); overallCriteria.CriteriaList.Add(classCrit); //do the same thing for any other classes we want to query IClassImportCriteria myStreetsClassImp = storageImp.ClassImports["mystreets"]; classCrit = new ECCompoundCriteria(ECCombinationOperations.COMBO_And); classCrit.CriteriaList.Add(new ECClassCriteria(myStreetsClassImp.ClassDefinition)); overallCriteria.CriteriaList.Add(classCrit); storageImp.ECCriteria = overallCriteria; } else { storageImp.ClassImports["mylots"].Selected = true; storageImp.ClassImports["mystreets"].Selected = true; storageImp.ClassImports["mymons"].Selected = false; //add a spatial criteria (view) bool useViewArea = true; if (useViewArea) { import.SpatialArea = SpatialArea.View; import.View = 0; } else { //alternative is to create a polygon and set the Geometry property import.Geometry = CreateRectangle(100, 100, 200, 200); } //add property criteria storageImp.ClassImports["mylots"].WhereClause = "BLOCK=5 OR FLOODZONE=13"; } } public static void ImportWithCriteria(IImportCriteria import, bool isQuery, bool isExport) { //we have the ability to completely specify the criteria ourselves, //or set certain properties to accomplish the same thing. The advantage //of overriding it ourselves is that the settings setup by the user //interactively remain intact, the disadvantage is that it's a bit more work to setup. bool overrideCriteria = false; SetupCriteria(import, overrideCriteria); IStorageImportCriteria storageImp = import.StorageImports[0]; //turning on/off properties and setting mapped names is only supported for import/export, not for queries if (!isQuery) { //select business properties for import/export operations. //turn off a property for another class IClassImportCriteria classImp = storageImp.ClassImports["mylots"]; IPropertyImportCriteria propImp = classImp.Properties["MSLINK"]; propImp.Selected = false; //rename another property (only when importing) propImp = classImp.Properties["BLOCK"]; propImp.MappedName = "BLOCKY"; } try { GDIImportProcessor importProcessor = new GDIImportProcessor(); importProcessor.Cancellable = true; importProcessor.ShowProgress = false; importProcessor.ShowCompleteMessage = false; importProcessor.IsExport = isExport; importProcessor.Update = isQuery && !isExport; //execute import/export importProcessor.Import(import, null); } finally { //null out criteria if (overrideCriteria) storageImp.ECCriteria = null; } }
