FYI: 

A first cut at developing .NET wrapper class for shapelib is now available 
on the shapelib site at 
http://shapelib.maptools.org/dl/contrib/DotNET_Framework_Support.zip. The 
zip file contains the following:

shapelib.cs is the C# wrapper for shapelib.  It is sprinkled liberally 
with C# XML documentation tags, both to provide intellisense capability 
for the the VS IDE, and to produce documentation.  Code comments are taken 
directly from the original shapelib documentation, with only a few minor 
changes.

The included shapelib.dll is compiled for Win32.

doc.xml was generated w/ Visual Studio  from the documentation tags.  It 
is included along with Anders Hejlsberg's doc.css and doc.xsl, which 
format doc.xml to HTML.

test.cs is a console app to test and demonstrate the wrapper.  The 
compiled version is also included as test.exe.

The wrapper class is pretty much a straight up implementation of shapelib, 
with the following exceptions:

1) In the DBFRead/WriteLogical functions I pass .NET boolean values
2) I made SHPT_* and SHPP_* constants into enumerations to be in keeping 
with .NET coding conventions.

I have not done anything with the quadtree functions in shapelib. 

Please send any comments, suggestions, bug reports, or whatever, to me at 
dgancarz@cfl.rr.com or david.gancarz@cityoforlando.net

David Gancarz, P.E.


btw: 

I also posted some files for calling shapelib.dll from VB6, if anyone is 
interested.  See http://shapelib.maptools.org/dl/contrib/testvb/TestVB.zip 
and http://shapelib.maptools.org/dl/contrib/testvb/readme.pdf.  Please 
note that, in the VB test program, I incorrectly define my polygon 
vertices in counterclockwise order.  The shapefile format requires that 
polygon interiors be traversed in clockwise order (standard mathematical 
conventions notwithstanding :-(
