Rebuild(String)

• This method rebuilds the SHP, SHX, DBF, IDX and IDS files for the given shape file.

• This method rebuilds the SHP, SHX, DBF, IDX and IDS files for the given shape file. When we do editing we have optimized the updates so that we do not need to rebuild the entire shape file. This leads to the shape file being out of order which may cause it not to open in other tools. One optimization is if you update a record instead of rebuilding a new shape file we mark the old record as null and add the edited record at the end of the shape file. This greatly increases the speed of committing shape file changes but will over time unorder the shape file. In addition we do a delete the DBF file will simply mark the record deleted and not compact the space. Rebuilding the shape file will correctly order the SPX and SHX along with compacting the DBF file and rebuild any index with the same any of the shape file if it exists. Note that if you have build custom index files where the name of the index differs from that of the shape file you will need to rebuild those manually using the BuildIndex methods.

StreamLoading This event allows you to pass in your own stream to represent the files.

If you choose you can pass in your own stream to represent the file. The stream can come from a variety of places such as isolated storage, a compressed file, and encrypted stream. When the Image is finished with the stream it will dispose of it so be sure to keep this in mind when passing the stream in. If you do not pass in a alternate stream the class will attempt to load the file from the file system using the PathFileName property.
