csv to shapefile source code for c#

[stevensrf11]

I need to convert a csv file into a shapefile in a .Net6 windows application written in cshapr.
Does gdal have any source code available are assemblies I can used to perform such an operation

I don't think so - there is nothing in C# samples.
It will be easier to invoke ogr2ogr.

https://gdal.org/drivers/vector/csv.html

Another approach is to port some code from python:

https://pcjericks.github.io/py-gdalogr-cookbook/vector_layers.html#read-a-csv-of-coordinates-as-an-ogrvrtlayer
Manually create a file and populate Shapefile:

You might try DotSpatial.

@sindizzy I have never tried DotSpatial, but I quickly went through the repo. I don't want to insult anyone, but it looks like something old and legacy without code samples and proper docs (CHM is dead, I found PDF for 1.7v only from issues). That library tries to bring spatial operations to Windows Forms, which are also superseded by the Web API or modern native app frameworks nowadays.
I'm using NTS and its ancestor JTS with Builder to test everything. It works for me well and has many features with Esri and GeoJson plugins.

It's updated to .NET Core 6 and has samples in the samples folder. Documentation was on codeplex and hasn't been redone yet. I translated it to wiki here https://github.com/sindizzy/DSW/wiki.
