Make a program with a connection at database

[decottignies_antonin]

Hello,

I want to work on a new subject, make a program with a connection at a database.

Is it possible to get coordinates of an Excel and put an object of my library on the geo-referencing plan  for lot of  coordinates.

Sorry for my english 🙂

Thanks 

Antonin

There are several ways you could do this.

1. Create an ODBC data source that connects to your Excel file and use ODBC objects to talk to it.
2. Use the CreateObject() and GetObject() methods to use COM and talk directly to Excel. Search this forum for code samples.
3. Install the free Map 3D toolset and use it's api to create and manage coordinate systems and use it's FDO technology to link to your Excel file as a data source.
4. Subscribe to Civil 3D and use it's built-in technology for importing points. No coding involved!
