ESRI Shapefile Library Update
I've just released a small update for my ESRI Shapefile Reader project on Codeplex. The only change is a patch from SolutionMania that fixes a problem when the shapefile name is also a reserved name in the metadata database. The patch escapes the name preventing an exception from being thrown.
Catfood.Shapefile.dll is a .NET 2.0 forward only parser for reading an ESRI Shapefile. Download 1.20 from Codeplex.

64-bit Jet drivers might be here:

Thanks Cat, will check it out and see if it works with the Shapefile dBase format.
Rob, I'm interested to know if the 64-bit drivers work with the Shapefile dBase format. I am currently running as a 32-bit process to workaround the issue.
Also, do you know if I can read different shapefiles using different threads with your library?
Regards,
Patrick
Patrick, I haven't tried the 64-bit driver yet. This was the only reason for forcing the demo app to run as 32-bit so it should be easy to test by updating the project to "Any CPU" and trying it with a shapefile.
The library is not thread safe so you should enumerate on a single thread. This only applies to parsing the file, once you've got the shape objects you could use worker threads to perform whatever processing is needed. Does this help?
