This method closes the Layer and releases any resources it was using.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method CloseCore. The close method plays an important role in the life cycle of the Layer. It may be called after drawing to release any memory and other resources that were allocated since the Open method was called.

If you override this method, it is recommended that you take the following things into account: This method may be called multiple times, so we suggest you write the method so that that a call to a closed Layer is ignored and does not generate an error. We also suggest that in the Close you free all resources that have been opened. Remember that the object will not be destroyed, but will be re-opened possibly in the near future.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs. If you have questions about this, please contact our support team as we would be happy to work with you on extending our framework.

This method opens the Layer so that it is initialized and ready to use.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method OpenCore. The open method plays an important role, as it is responsible for initializing the Layer. Most methods on the Layer will throw an exception if the state of the Layer is not opened. When the map draws each layer, the layer will be opened as one of its first steps; then, after it is finished drawing with that layer, it will close it. In this way, we are sure to release all resources used by the Layer.

When implementing the abstract method, consider opening the FeatureSource or RasterSource. You will get a chance to close these in the Close method of the Layer.

As this is a concrete public method that wraps a Core method, we reserve the right to add events and other logic to pre- or post-process data returned by the Core version of the method. In this way, we leave our framework open on our end, but also allow you the developer to extend our logic to suit your needs.

<!– static –> 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.

This method sets up the EditTools and QueryTools objects.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method SetupToolsCore. The SetupTools method allows you to create the QueryTool, EditTools and other tools you may need on your object. We created this method so that if you want to extend one of the tool classes, you can override the SetupToolsCore and create any class you want.

A collection of strings representing record id of features not to get in the Layer.

This string collection is a handy place to specify what records not to get from the source. Suppose you have a shape file of roads and you want to hide the roads within a particular rectangle, simply execute GetFeaturesInsideBoundingBox() and add the id of the return features to the collection and forget about them. Since you can set this by Layer it makes is easy to determine what to and what not to.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.FeatureLayer –> Go Back

This property gets the FeatureSource for the FeatureLayer.

The FeatureSource is the provider of data to the FeatureLayer. There are different FeatureSource classes to match the various ways that feature data is stored. It is important that, when you inherit from the FeatureLayer, in the constructor you set the FeatureSource you want to use.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.FeatureLayer –> Go Back

This property checks to see if a Layer has a BoundingBox or not. If it has no BoundingBox, it will throw an exception when you call the GetBoundingBox() and GetFullExtent() APIs. In ShapeFileFeatureLayer, we override this API and mark it as true.

The default implementation in the base class returns false.

<!– ThinkGeo.MapSuite.WindowsPhoneCore.ShapeFileFeatureLayer –> Go Back

This property returns true if the Layer is open and false if it is not.

This method is the concrete wrapper for the abstract method IsOpenCore. Various methods on the Layer require that it be in an open state. If one of those methods is called when the state is not open, then the method will throw an exception. To enter the open state, you must call the Layer Open method. The method will raise an exception if the current Layer is already open.

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.
