using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

Create VectorLayer

Start by creating a VectorLayer, a fundamental component for working with geospatial data.

string dataDir = "Your Document Directory";
using (VectorLayer layer = VectorLayer.Create(dataDir + "SpecifyAttributeValueLength_out.shp", Drivers.Shapefile))
{
    // Your code for the next steps will go here.
}

Add Attribute with Specific Length

Before adding features, define an attribute with a specified length.

FeatureAttribute attribute = new FeatureAttribute("wide", AttributeDataType.String);
attribute.Width = 120;
layer.Attributes.Add(attribute);

Construct and Add Feature

Construct a feature and set its attribute value within the specified length.

Feature feature = layer.ConstructFeature();
feature.SetValue("wide", "this string can be up to 120 characters long now.");
layer.Add(feature);

Congratulations! You’ve successfully specified the attribute value length using Aspose.GIS for .NET.
