Abstract


Paper  Utility Infrastructure Mapping and Application Migration from Avenue to VBA
Track: State and Local Government
Author(s): Ken E. Brown, Brij M. Garg

This paper presents the technical tips and methods for the effective mapping of municipal utility infrastructure. Additionally, the specifics of using ArcInfo-based VBA for application development are addressed. Experienced users will benefit from exposure to the detailed methodology presented. The methodology clearly explains the creation of a seamless utility as-built mosaic in ArcInfo Workstation and subsequent feature mapping in the personal geodatabase data model. Graphical user interface design is addressed technically, with specific attention paid to the conversion of existing Avenue code to the VBA equivalent. Extensive code examples are provided in parallel, utilizing both VBA and Avenue language formats.
