SimplePoint Plug-in Data Source

Purpose
This sample implements a read-only plug-in data source. The data format is a text file of formatted XY locations with a single character attribute.

How to use

Data has been provided for your use with this sample. It can be found at <Your ArcGIS Developer Kit Install directory>/Samples/data/SimplePoint_Towns.spt.
If the sample has associated data, you will find that the sample's zip file includes a "data" folder alongside the language folders. However, you will need to update the sample to point to the location of the data once you have extracted all the files.

  1. Open and build the solution to register the DLL and register to component categories.
  2. In ArcCatalog, browse to the Simplepoint_towns.spt file. Try previewing the dataset, using the zoom and identify tools.
  3. You should also be able to use the Towns dataset in ArcMap.
