Is it possible to create new Shapefiles?

[DerekGray]

Hello,

If a ShapeFile is in a map package, it is possible to read all the info contained therein, yes?

Is it possible to create and save new Shapefiles with the Runtime?
I'm looking for something equivalent to the following ESRI sample:

Thank you,

Hi Derek,

It is possible to read data from a shapefile.  However, it would not be contained in a Map Package as the packaging process converts data sources to File Geodatabase.  You can reference data in a Runtime enabled package, and the Runtime supports referenced shapefiles.

It is possible to create a new shapefile with Georprocessing.
