Here I wrote the example of displaying KML files on google maps, and here is one my example of creating KML. I was using sample from here.
The model:
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace CreateKmlFromFiles
{
public class KmlModel
{
[XmlRoot("kml", Namespace = "http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2")]
public class Kml
{
public Document Document { get; set; }
}
public class Document
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public Style Style { get; set; }
public Placemark Placemark { get; set; }
}
public class Style
{
[XmlAttribute("id")]
public string id { get; set; }
public LineStyle LineStyle { get; set; }
public PolyStyle PolyStyle { get; set; }
}
public class LineStyle
{
public string color { get; set; }
public string width { get; set; }
}
public class PolyStyle
{
public string color { get; set; }
}
public class Placemark
{
public string name { get; set; }
public string description { get; set; }
public string styleUrl { get; set; }
public LineString LineString { get; set; }
}
public class LineString
{
public string extrude { get; set; }
public string tessellate { get; set; }
public string altitudeMode { get; set; }
public string coordinates { get; set; }
}
}
}
The code:
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
namespace CreateKmlFromFiles
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.Append("7.0971881, 50.7359953, 2357");
KmlModel.Kml kmlModel = new KmlModel.Kml
{
Document = new KmlModel.Document
{
name = "Paths"
, description = "test"
, Style = new KmlModel.Style
{
id = "red"
, LineStyle = new KmlModel.LineStyle
{
color = "7f0000ff"
, width = "4"
}
, PolyStyle = new KmlModel.PolyStyle
{
color = "7f0000ff"
}
}
, Placemark = new KmlModel.Placemark
{
name = "Absolute Extruded"
, description = "Transparent green wall with yellow outlines"
, styleUrl = "#yellowLineGreenPoly"
, LineString = new KmlModel.LineString
{
extrude = "1"
, tessellate = "1"
, altitudeMode = "absolute"
, coordinates = sb.ToString()
}
}
}
};
TextWriter txtWriter = new StreamWriter
(
Path.ChangeExtension
(
System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location
, ".kml"
));
XmlSerializerNamespaces ns = new XmlSerializerNamespaces();
ns.Add("", "http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2");
XmlSerializer xmlSerializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(KmlModel.Kml));
xmlSerializer.Serialize(txtWriter, kmlModel, ns);
txtWriter.Close();
}
}
}
Here and here I gave examples on how to get the exe path, but sometimes that is not enough, sometimes I need to find path of our class library, for example, that is why sometimes I need Directory.GetCurrentDirectory()
Here is one my tool to copy files which are listed in a file, and copy them to a location but keep original path tree. Usefull for TortoiseSVN usually I do it when I need to create the patch but I also want to be sure that if patch doesn't work that I have at least some kind of backup.
For example, you want to save files from c:\folder\subfolderOne\file1.txt and c:\folder\subfolderTwo\file1.txt to c:\copyFolder and to keep structure like c:\copyFolder\subfolderOne\file1.txt and c:\copyFolder\subfolderTwo\file1.txt
Here is the code:
using System;
using System.IO;
namespace CopyFilesKeepPathStructure
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Root source path");
string rootSourcePath = Console.ReadLine();
//string rootSourcePath = @" c:\folder";
Console.WriteLine("Root destination path");
string rootDestinationPath = Console.ReadLine();
//string rootDestinationPath = @"c:\copyFolder";
Console.WriteLine($"File with list of files to be copied:");
string fileWithListOfFilesToBeCopied = Console.ReadLine();
if (!(fileWithListOfFilesToBeCopied is null) && !(rootSourcePath is null))
{
string[] listOfSourceFiles = File.ReadAllLines(fileWithListOfFilesToBeCopied);
//string[] listOfSourceFiles = File.ReadAllLines(@"C:\files.txt");
foreach (string sourceFile in listOfSourceFiles)
{
string folderStructure = sourceFile.Substring(rootSourcePath.Length,
sourceFile.Length - rootSourcePath.Length);
string destinationFile = rootDestinationPath + folderStructure;
Directory.CreateDirectory(Path.GetDirectoryName(destinationFile) ?? string.Empty);
File.Copy(sourceFile, destinationFile, true);
Console.WriteLine($"Source: {sourceFile}, destination: {destinationFile}");
}
}
Console.WriteLine($"Press any key...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
