Is there, or are there plans for, an asynchronous implementation of ShapeFileFeatureLayer.BuildIndex()? I would like to be able to provide the user feedback on progress while the index construction is happening. I currently do this on a background thread, but it would be nice to be able to get a gauge on progress complete/remaining.
Thanks.
Paul
Hello Paul,
Yes, we have a event in the ShapeFileFeatureSource named BuildingIndex can make this job.
/// <summary>
/// This event will be fired each time a record was built the rtree index.
///
/// You can choose to use this event to build the build index progess bar.
/// </summary>
public static event EventHandler<BuildingIndexShapeFileFeatureSourceEventArgs> BuildingIndex;
Regards,
Gary
Thank you for the reply. I can’t tell from the documentation what the difference is between ShapeFileFeatureSource.BuildIndexFile and ShapeFileFeatureLayer.BuildIndexFile. Can you explain the difference?
Hello Paul,
It’s the same, ShapeFileFeatureLayer.BuildIndexFile call ShapeFileFeatureSource.BuildIndexFile.

Gary
