GeoJsonFileDataAdapter Class

A data adapter that loads data from GeoJSON files, and displays it on vector layers.

Namespace: DevExpress.Xpf.Map

Assembly: DevExpress.Xpf.Map.v24.2.dll

NuGet Package: DevExpress.Wpf.Map

Declaration

C#

public class GeoJsonFileDataAdapter :
    MapGeoDataAdapter

VB.NET

Public Class GeoJsonFileDataAdapter
    Inherits MapGeoDataAdapter

Remarks

The Map Control allows you to display data from GeoJSON files that store geographical objects in the JSON format.

The following table lists supported GeoJSON elements and corresponding map items:

GeoJSON element	Map item
Point	MapDot
MultiPoint	A list of MapDot objects
LineString	MapPolyline
MultiLineString	MapPath
Polygon, MultiPolygon	MapPath
GeometryCollection	MapDot, MapPolyline, MapPath

Follow the steps below to load data from a .GeoJSON file:

1. Add a VectorLayer object to the MapControl.Layers collection.
2. Create a GeoJsonFileDataAdapter object.
3. Specify the path to a GeoJSON file via the MapGeoDataAdapter.FileUri property.
4. Assign the GeoJsonFileDataAdapter to the VectorLayer.Data property.
5. Optionally, you can customize generated items in the MapGeoDataAdapter.ShapesLoaded event handler.
