Net Topology Suite attributes table complex types

[Electronic Panda]

Greetings,

I was wondering that is it possible to keep complex objects (or objects that has more than one attributes) in attributes table (IAttributesTable) as one attribute. For example can I keep DrawingSettings object which includes fill color, opacity etc at once?  Correct me if it is against the nature of attributes table.

Best Regards,

IAttributesTable stores generic "System.Object" types, so you can put everything you want.

Of course, you can't store this stuff in a dbf table, like a shapefile with attributes.

Hi Panda,

Maybe you could serialize that complex object as a string (XML / JSON), so that you can later deserialize / parse that object.
