Hello!

I am rather new to the Dotspatial libraries and have used MapWinGis ActiveX control before.

I have a shapefile created on an Trimble GPS receiver that works perfect in MapWinGis but in Dotspatial i get the following exception.
System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Year, Month, and Day parameters describe an un-representable DateTime.

This is a "cutout" from the shapefile.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Best regards
Daniel

I ran into this when I first started using DotSpatial, too.  The likely culprit is the dbf file.  DotSpatial is trying to interpret the "update date" which is stored in bytes 2-4 in the dbf file as YEAR, MONTH, and DAY.  The code snippet is shown below.  In my case, bytes 2-4 were all zeroes and the DateTime constructor expects the month and day parameters to start at 1 (i.e. month is between 1 and 12 inclusive, day is between 1 and 31 inclusive).  IMHO, this should probably be changed to be less picky, but what would we set the _updateDate to if unable to parse?  The UpdateDate is accessible as a public property on the AttributeTable.

        private void ReadTableHeader(BinaryReader reader)
        {
            // type of reader.
            _fileType = reader.ReadByte();
            if (_fileType != 0x03)
                throw new NotSupportedException("Unsupported DBF reader Type " + _fileType);

            // parse the update date information.
            int year = reader.ReadByte();
            int month = reader.ReadByte();
            int day = reader.ReadByte();
            _updateDate = new DateTime(year + 1900, month, day);

            // read the number of records.
            _numRecords = reader.ReadInt32();

Ok! Interresting.

How did you solve your issue?
Now I only have used the mapcontrol and function addlayer that opens a file dialog and than I get the exception immediately.

Any codesnippets that may help me?

First, make sure the exception is occurring where I suspect which would be in AttributeTable.ReadTableHeader().  You need to get a stack trace.  In my case, the shapefiles were being generated by some of our own software written in C++, so we just modified that code to put good values in the dbf header date fields.  I do have a suggestion on how we could fix this in DotSpatial.  If we can't parse the UpdateDate in the header, how about we get the Modified file time on the dbf and use that to populate the UpdateDate property?  That would be as good a value as any.  If I don't hear any complaints in the next 3 hours, I'll make that change and check it in.  How does that sound?  But first, let's get that stack trace to be sure that the exception is occurring where I suspect.

Kyle

Thanks!

I won't manage to tried it later today about 5 hours away. So wait to check it in until tomorrow.

Here is the crashreport from Mapwindow6 including the stacktrace when I try to open the same shapefile as in my own application. To use the modified date to populate the UpdateDate property seems good for me.

The only thing that is important for me is that I can save the shapefile back and put in the GPS receiver. What the date would be doesn't mather. I only want to change properties on lines/dots in the layer, like the name of them.

Your solution worked perfect!

My weekend is saved. :-)
