Hi Joshua,

thank you for emailing me the latest Abe's version.
What I had it was this: http://gforge2.uwc.ac.za/projects/ziggis
and it was for 8.3, with a circular reference problem.
If i knew that there was what you sended me I would have saved 1 day time it took me to get what I had compiled with AO 9.0.
In any case I compiled the project you emailed me with Visual Studio 2005 (.net 2.0) and ArcObjects 9.0 .net assemblies.
It compiles fine, but when I add a layer:
1) if I just add a working PostGis layer it gives error
2) if I add a view (like you suggested) to the Working PostGis layer, it seems working, the layer is added at the TOC, but nothing is drawn. If I open the attribute table it shows me all the record, but the geometry field is empty.

any idea?
thanks in advance

Paolo

in fact what I had it was downloaded from SourceForge and it was still

Hey Paolo,

I'm using ArcGIS Desktop 9.1.  As Abe mentioned, however, I'm also using
a later snapshot of ZigGIS.

I had also gone and updated the publicly available ZigGIS to the 9.0
ArcObjects model before receiving the latest version of ZigGIS from Abe,
but I never tested that version with the workaround that I outlined.

I'll email you a copy of the latest snapshot from Abe so that you can
see if you have any better luck with it.

Hello Joshua
I tried what you suggested (I also added the GID field in the view, it
caused an error).
But ZigGis goes in error when is adding layer, specifically at this line
of
code:

doc.AddLayer(layer);

the error i get is AccessViolationExpection

did you also try using ZigGis with ArcMap 9.0 ?

in any case thank you for helping me, i will investigate more deeply and
if i get into some resolution I will drop a note here

best regards
Paolo

Thank you Joshua
now it is working!

with some quick debug i discovered it was a stupid problem with my
international settings.

The funny thing is that now with correcting the regional settings it works also the previous version i had (the public 8.3 based version - that I modified to work with 9.0 and from which I removed the circular
reference problem). In this previous version you DON'T NEED to create
the view, so that problem It was already solved but came back in the
version Abe emailed you...

So now I have a working (for ArcGis 9.0 and 9.1) Visual Studio 2005 Solution of ZigGis, without need creating the view as you suggested.

I am amazed from the speed of ZigGis with reading data (i wouldn't have thought is so fast, after all we are not reading an ArcGis native geometry), but I see there are still many things to do (before implementing editing): for example rendering with symbology is not working, the geometry column seems to have a problem (is undefined),
....

Who knows why it is not possible editing data, this would be a super tip to get to know what can be, AFAIK Abe was trying to discover that for more than one month! I am sure if someone from the Esri Geodatabase team could give us a little help about this they could give us the right direction for letting the layer to be edited. I don't think there is a block, we probably need to implement in the right way the right interface...

in any case thank you for helping me

Best regards
Paolo

Is there any way this version could be posted somewhere?  I would also love
to try it.  I do not have access to Visual Studio.

Forgive me if someone already mentioned this, but perhaps maptools.org
would be interested in helping to disseminate what seems like a very
useful tool?

What I would love to see is someone officially take over the project.
Even if they're not contributing code ... at least managing the
project.  I feel like people are finally seeing some good in the code
and perhaps we can get enough momentum going where this thing finally
moves forward.

Anyone?

Hi Abe
I will do it, should I continue in the webspace from where I downloaded?
Let me know!

My plans are:
1) Some code refactoring
2) correct bugs about rendering
3) try to solve the edit problem (maybe I can have a direct contact with Esri, some years ago I was working for Esri Italy) in the clean way, this meaning without doing anything like in the PgArc fashion with a proxy shapefile but just solving the ArcGis desktop complain that editor is not allowed (this issue you were also asking at the support esri website: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=1742&t=158789#610977)
4) if I can't solve the edit issue in a clean way go with the PgArc fashion for editing
5) implementing ZigGis to work also with MySql and maybe with SQL Server spatial

Let me know if I should open a web space at SourceForge or should I continue to use the web space you were using

If someone, like Joshua, is willing to help me is very welcome

best regards

I forgot to say that one of the fist thing I want to do is an installer, so more people can get in touch with ZigGis (I am dead sure many many people wanted to use it but didn't because they don't know c# and how to make it working).
Whit more people installing ZigGis we can even get to know more bugs and fix them (a sort of alfa-beta test)

Hi Abe
I will do it, should I continue in the webspace from where I downloaded?
Let me know!

My plans are:
1) Some code refactoring
2) correct bugs about rendering
3) try to solve the edit problem (maybe I can have a direct contact with Esri, some years ago I was working for Esri Italy) in the clean way, this meaning without doing anything like in the PgArc fashion with a proxy shapefile but just solving the ArcGis desktop complain that editor is not allowed (this issue you were also asking at the support esri website: http://forums.esri.com/Thread.asp?c=93&f=1742&t=158789#610977)
4) if I can't solve the edit issue in a clean way go with the PgArc fashion for editing
5) implementing ZigGis to work also with MySql and maybe with SQL Server spatial

Let me know if I should open a web space at SourceForge or should I continue to use the web space you were using

If someone, like Joshua, is willing to help me is very welcome

best regards

Anyone?

I forgot to say that one of the fist thing I want to do is an installer, so
more people can get in touch with ZigGis (I am dead sure many many people
wanted to use it but didn't because they don't know c# and how to make it
working).
Whit more people installing ZigGis we can even get to know more bugs and fix
them (a sort of alfa-beta test)

Thank you Joshua
now it is working!

with some quick debug i discovered it was a stupid problem with my
international settings.

The funny thing is that now with correcting the regional settings it
works also the previous version i had (the public 8.3 based version -
that I modified to work with 9.0 and from which I removed the circular
reference problem). In this previous version you DON'T NEED to create
the view, so that problem It was already solved but came back in the
version Abe emailed you...

So now I have a working (for ArcGis 9.0 and 9.1) Visual Studio 2005
Solution of ZigGis, without need creating the view as you suggested.

I am amazed from the speed of ZigGis with reading data (i wouldn't have
thought is so fast, after all we are not reading an ArcGis native
geometry), but I see there are still many things to do (before
implementing editing):
for example rendering with symbology is not working, the geometry column
seems to have a problem (is undefined), ....

Who knows why it is not possible editing data, this would be a super tip
to get to know what can be, AFAIK Abe was trying to discover that for
more than one month! I am sure if someone from the Esri Geodatabase team
could give us a little help about this they could give us the right
direction for letting the layer to be edited. I don't think there is a
block, we probably need to implement in the right way the right
interface...

in any case thank you for helping me

Best regards
Paolo

You don't need Visual Studio 2005 to compile it.  A very nice open
source alternative to VS is sharpdevelop (sharpdevelop.net).

more than one month! I am sure if someone from the Esri Geodatabase team
could give us a little help about this they could give us the right
direction for letting the layer to be edited. I don't think there is a
block, we probably need to implement in the right way the right
interface...

in any case thank you for helping me

Best regards
Paolo

Hey Paolo,

Sorry I haven't gotten with you yet ... just too busy these days.  I'd
prefer opening a project site at code.google.com.  Beyond putting the
latest source there feel free to do whatever you like with the page.

You can ping me at abe.gillespie on GTalk if you need me for anything.

Thanks!
-Abe

Abe,

Is AVOIR not doing it for you anymore? Please let me know any feedback
that will help us to improve the visibility and usage of AVOIR if you
have some time. We are generally considered the "African Sourceforge"
and I would like to see that improved if possible.
