String	A String value.

Example

This example shows how to load data from a SQL geometry source and save changes made to map shapes to the source.

Follow the steps below to load data from a SQL geometry data source:

1. Create a SqlGeometryDataAdapter object.
2. Specify its SqlGeometryDataAdapter.ConnectionString, SqlGeometryDataAdapter.SqlText and SqlGeometryDataAdapter.SpatialDataMember properties.
3. Assign this object to the VectorLayer.Data property.

Note that all field values loaded from the database (except for the SpatialDataMember field) are stored as attributes for each generated SqlGeometryItem object.

In this example, you can enable the Map Editor‘s Edit mode to relocate map shape points. To save changes made to shapes, call corresponding SQL commands in the MapEditor.MapItemEdited event handler.
