Easier Feature Attribute Value Access

Feature Request

I am finding it a bit painful accessing attribute values on an Aspose Feature compared to other libraries, as I have to access them one at a time via feature.GetValue<type>().

I would like a method called feature.GetValues() that returns an object[] or a IReadOnlyList<object>. This would return all attribute values for the Feature in a single call.

SqlServer allows both access types, one at a time or
all at once.

I believe internally you are storing attribute values as an object[] anyways, so it should be pretty easy to implement.

On the flip side, it would be nice to have a method feature.SetValues(object[] values) to streamline setting values in one call.

Hello, @DavidB,

The features you were looking for is available in Aspose.GIS for .NET 20.3. Aspose.GIS allows you to return the values for all the attributes in an array. Please, take a look at these GetValues, GetValuesDump, SetValues, GetValue and Example.

In case of any further assistance, please feel free to let us know.

I have updated my code to use the new GetValues and SetValues. It simplifies things a lot!

Thank you.
