= Calculating Dynamic Extents =

The easiest and most efficient way of determining extents from a provider that supports dynamic extents is to use the !GetSpatialContext command.

== C# Example ==

{{{
#!cpp

  using OSGeo.FDO.Connections;
  using OSGeo.FDO.Commands.SpatialContext;
  using OSGeo.FDO.Geometry;

  IGetSpatialContexts getSpatialContexts = connection.CreateCommand(CommandType.CommandType_GetSpatialContexts) as IGetSpatialContexts;
  ISpatialContextReader reader = getSpatialContexts.Execute(); 
  IGeometry geom = null; 
  byte[] extentAsByteArr = null; 
  string extentAsText = null; 
  FgfGeometryFactory geomFactory = new FgfGeometryFactory(); 

  while (reader.ReadNext()) {
    extentAsByteArr = reader.GetExtent();
    // if extent type is dynamic and no geometries have been added
    // the extent can be null
    if (extentAsByteArr != null)
    {
      geom = geomFactory.CreateGeometryFromFgf(extentAsByteArr);
      extentAsText = geom.Text;
    }
    else
    {
      extentAsText = "No extent found";
    }
  }
