Scenario: I've got a layer called secserv of type ESRI(03) polyline. Behind this layer I have sql SDE data that is storing a binary field (Shape) along with xmin,ymin,xmax,ymax (bounding box) for each record. Because my polyline features don't have vertices for each contiguous part, I'd like to be able to extract the necessary information from the SHAPE field in order to rebuild the secserv layer when necessary. I don't even know if this is possible but I figured you guys would. What I have done is read the data from the shape field into a byte array and by that I've been able to follow the ESRI layout. I just don't know what to do with the data.
SQL example of data in SHAPE field:
0x03000000C46ECD652304244162EECB0213951A41C32F07CCB5042441C8A089952E971A41010000000200000000000000C46ECD652304244162EECB0213951A41C32F07CCB5042441C8A089952E971A4100
This is basically what you guys are writing for each record in a polyline shapefile, right?
If there is another way to generate shapefiles from Data without vertices, please let me know.
