In my previous post I have showed you how to install and using zigGIS for adding PostGIS data into ArcMap.
From the ArcMap user interface you just need to press the zigGIS button and an “Add PostGIS data” dialog will be shown to you. From there you can set a zig File path, where PostGIS connections settings are stored, and then a PostGIS layers list will be shown and you can check which layer(s) add to the map.



In this post I will show how to programmatically use zigGIS and ArcObjects to add PostGIS data into ArcMap.
zigGIS is a Microsoft .NET 2.0 library that can be used from .NET clients and also from COM clients.
You could use it in your ArcObjects .NET applications/library to manage PostGIS data, in any .NET language like VB .NET and C#.
As zigGIS it is obviously exposed to COM (ArcObjects are in COM), you could also use it in your COM applications/library, for example in applications developed with Visual Basic 6 and ArcMap’s VBA (Visual Basic for Application).
