Merge multiple shape files

Aspose.GIS Product Family

Hello,
I am trying to combine multiple shape files into one. But there does not appear to be a straight forward way to do it. Can you provide an example of how I can combine two independent shape files into one?

Thank you.

Hi, @vbwizardry

Thank you for your interest in the Aspose.GIS product.

Please try the below code:

    using (VectorLayer layer = VectorLayer.Create("output.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
    {
        // copy attribute from first layer
        using (VectorLayer inputLayer = VectorLayer.Open("input01.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
        {
            
            foreach (FeatureAttribute sourceAttribute in inputLayer.Attributes)
            {
                var attribute = new FeatureAttribute(sourceAttribute.Name, sourceAttribute.DataType);
                layer.Attributes.Add(attribute);                        
            }
        }

        // copy attribute from second layer
        using (VectorLayer inputLayer = VectorLayer.Open("input02.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
        {

            foreach (FeatureAttribute sourceAttribute in inputLayer.Attributes)
            {
                var attribute = new FeatureAttribute(sourceAttribute.Name, sourceAttribute.DataType);
                layer.Attributes.Add(attribute);
            }
        }

        // copy data from first
        using (VectorLayer inputLayer = VectorLayer.Open("input01.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
        {

            foreach (Feature inputFeature in inputLayer)
            {
                //Construct a new feature
                Feature outputFeature = layer.ConstructFeature();
                outputFeature.Geometry = inputFeature.Geometry;
                outputFeature.CopyValues(inputFeature);
            }
        }

        // copy data from second
        using (VectorLayer inputLayer = VectorLayer.Open("input01.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
        {

            foreach (Feature inputFeature in inputLayer)
            {
                //Construct a new feature
                Feature outputFeature = layer.ConstructFeature();
                outputFeature.Geometry = inputFeature.Geometry;
                outputFeature.CopyValues(inputFeature);
            }
        }
    }

Thanks
