Hello,

i am creating shape file using arcGis SDK. I want to create polygon in that shape file. i have Geomatryfield like this

" POLYGON ((-97.091258814999946 21.153612301000067, -97.090160336999929 21.154729485000075, -97.08989693399991 21.155753729000082, -97.089844970999934 21.157099041000038, -97.090019709999922 21.158772747000057, -97.090426326999932 21.16077292600005, -97.091026447999923 21.163059955000051, -97.091771189999918 21.165583844000082, -97.092611663999946 21.168294229000082, -97.093498981999915 21.171141495000086, -97.094383851999908 21.174076028000059, -97.095217359999936 21.177047463000065, -97.09595059499992 21.180006181000067, -97.096547076999911 21.182908041000076, -97.097018125999909 21.185733827000035, -97.097388293999927 21.18846904500009, -97.0976825439999 21.19109994300004, -97.097923843999922 21.193612415000075, -97.09813756199992 21.195992703000059, -97.098347477999937 21.198227440000039, -97.0985777549999 21.200301757000091, -97.098852614999942 21.20220527500004, -97.0991956069999 21.203937732000043, -97.099629536999942 21.205502989000081, -97.100177594999934 21.20690378200004, -97.1008633809999 21.208143590000077, -97.101709686999925 21.209225151000055, -97.102740111999935 21.210151942000039, -97.103977052999937 21.210927077000065, -97.1054337789999 21.211558263000086, -97.1070798589999 21.212070158000074, -97.108874545999925 21.212492780000048, -97.110776676999933 21.212854653000079, -97.11274590599993 21.213185796000062, -97.1147414809999 21.213515484000084, -97.1167222549999 21.213873001000081, -97.1186474779999 21.214287630000058, -97.120483450999927 21.214777722000065, -97.122221417999924 21.21531380600004, -97.123861665999925 21.215855825000062, -97.125402478999945 21.216363372000046, -97.126842535999913 21.216796035000073, -97.1281809159999 21.21711339400008, -97.129417092999915 21.217275027000085, -97.130549341999938 21.217240525000079, -97.131578087999912 21.216981434000047, -97.1325087649999 21.216517164000038, -97.133348948999924 21.215878331000056, -97.134105432999945 21.21509668300007, -97.134784993999915 21.214202472000068, -97.1353944299999 21.213227443000051, -97.1359409289999 21.212202590000061, -97.136431678999941 21.211158904000058, -97.136864979999928 21.210119244000055, -97.137205593999909 21.209075024000072, -97.137410569999929 21.208008018000044, -97.137435395999944 21.20690225900006, -97.137237530999926 21.205739890000075, -97.136772845999928 21.204503443000078, -97.135998025999925 21.203176186000064, -97.1348693459999 21.201740269000084, -97.133363107999912 21.200182847000065, -97.131534812999917 21.198502904000065, -97.129460772999948 21.19670405700009, -97.1272157009999 21.194789942000057, -97.124875489999908 21.192763442000057, -97.122515638999914 21.190628199000059, -97.120212029999948 21.18838710600005, -97.118039351999926 21.186044204000041, -97.1160555589999 21.183606343000065, -97.114247401999933 21.18109951200006, -97.112582907999922 21.17855252600009, -97.111030519999929 21.17599531500008, -97.109558666999931 21.173456680000072, -97.108136187999946 21.170966165000038, -97.1067307369999 21.168554072000063, -97.10531153699992 21.166248434000067, -97.10385539899994 21.164077576000068, -97.102374124999926 21.162060451000059, -97.100887873999909 21.160214047000068, -97.099417603999939 21.158556094000062, -97.09798345899992 21.157102836000035, -97.096605994999948 21.155872009000063, -97.095304964999912 21.15488098700007, -97.094101707999926 21.154146377000075, -97.093015557999934 21.153684061000035, -97.091258814999946 21.153612301000067)) "

I want to create shape file using this polygon field. i am done with finding the X,Y coordinate and then make a polygon. but it is very slow and time consumeing. my code is

public IGeometry CreatePolygon(DataSet ds, string ColumnName)

{

IPolygon polygon = null;

IPolygon polygon2;

ITopologicalOperator2 topologicalOperator2 = null;

IPointCollection pPoly = new PolygonClass();

IPointCollection pPoly2 = new PolygonClass();

// IPolygon polygonCombined=null;

int i = 0;

foreach (DataRow row in ds.Tables[0].Rows)

{

string st = row[ColumnName].ToString();

string[] arr = null;

if (st.StartsWith("POLY"))

{

string d = st.Substring(10);

d = d.Substring(0, d.Length - 2);

arr = d.Split(',');

}

else if (st.StartsWith("MULTI"))

{

string d = st.Substring(16);

d = d.Substring(0, d.Length - 3);

arr = d.Split(',');

}

if (i == 0)

{

IPoint[] pntArrayTemp = new IPoint[arr.Length];

int k = 0;

foreach (string st1 in arr)

{

pntArrayTemp = new PointClass();

string[] temp1 = st1.Trim().Split(' ');

pntArrayTemp.X = Convert.ToDouble(temp1[0].Replace(")", "").Replace("(", "").Trim());

pntArrayTemp.Y = Convert.ToDouble(temp1[1].Replace(")", "").Replace("(", "").Trim());

object obj1 = Type.Missing;

pPoly.AddPoint(pntArrayTemp, ref obj1, ref obj1);

k++;

}

polygon = pPoly as IPolygon;

}

if (i > 0)

{

pPoly2 = new PolygonClass();

IPoint[] pntArrayTemp1 = new IPoint[arr.Length];

int k = 0;

foreach (string st1 in arr)

{

pntArrayTemp1 = new PointClass();

string[] temp1 = st1.Trim().Split(' ');

pntArrayTemp1.X = Convert.ToDouble(temp1[0].Replace(")", "").Replace("(", "").Trim());

pntArrayTemp1.Y = Convert.ToDouble(temp1[1].Replace(")", "").Replace("(", "").Trim());

object obj1 = Type.Missing;

pPoly2.AddPoint(pntArrayTemp1, ref obj1, ref obj1);

k++;

}

topologicalOperator2 = (ITopologicalOperator2)polygon;

//Simplify.

topologicalOperator2.IsKnownSimple_2 = false;

topologicalOperator2.Simplify();

polygon2 = pPoly2 as IPolygon;

ITopologicalOperator2 topologicalOperator3 = (ITopologicalOperator2)polygon2;

//Simplify.

topologicalOperator3.IsKnownSimple_2 = false;

topologicalOperator3.Simplify();

IGeometry geometry = topologicalOperator2.Union(topologicalOperator3 as IPolygon);

polygon = (IPolygon)geometry;

}

i++;

}

return polygon;

}

any other way to create shapefile for polygon using arcGis.

The string you have got is WKT representation of a polygon. Apparently ESRI does not provide any ArcObjects interface for WKT string to Geometry. I myself spent quality time recently searching for one.

If creating a shape file is what you want then possibly take this approach. Create a python script using arcpy.FromWKT to create geometry. Utilizing 'fromWKT' function in python in version 10.1‌

Then call this python script from your application. .net - run a python script from c# - Stack Overflow‌

Hope this helps!

One option would be to use an existing System geoprocessing (GP) tool to implement out-of-the-box logic to solve your problem. All you have to do is run the tool either in ArcMap, or programmatically using ArcObjects. The tool I think you are looking for is called Minimum Bounding Geometry, and the option you need to select is "Convex Hull." See the link below for details about how to use this tool in ArcMap:

Minimum Bounding Geometry (Data Management)

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/main/10.1/index.html#//00170000003q000000

You will first need to convert your text representation of points into a point feature class (e.g. a shapefile). This will go into your GP tool as input. This Youtube video shows how to convert points in a CSV file containing X,Y coordinates into a Point Feature Class (Shapefile) in ArcMap. Of course, you can do this programmatically too; and it appears, you are already doing this in your own code above.

Converting a table of Lat / Long values into a Shapefile

To run a System Geoprocessing tool using ArcObjects, you have to write a bit of code. See below:

How to run a geoprocessing tool

http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/arcobjects-net/conceptualhelp/index.html#/d/0001000003rr000000.h...

You can call any geoprocesing tool this way, and avoid having to write ArcObjects code/logic from scratch (no need to re-invent the wheel). Many common problems have already been solved in ArcGIS Desktop; and all you need to do is find and call the GP tool, either in ArcMap, or using ArcObjects.
