I was looking for a way to export points to a shape file, I couldn't find anything here and used https://www.deepseek.com/en/ to help me out, this is the file if anyone needs it, I just needed points so I won't add to this other options
Anyway, this code works fine for me.
the source code are in the ZIP file

' Simple Shapefile Export Example - COMPLETE WORKING SAMPLE
Sub ExportSamplePoints
' 1. Initialize exporter
Dim Exporter As ShapefileExporter
Exporter.Initialize
' 2. Create 3 sample points (Longitude, Latitude, ID, Name)
Dim points As List
points.Initialize
points.Add(Array(-21.942635, 64.146583, 1, "Point A"))
points.Add(Array(-21.940000, 64.148000, 2, "Point B"))
points.Add(Array(-21.938000, 64.150000, 3, "Point C"))
' 3. Define fields (ID and Name)
Dim fields As List
fields.Initialize
fields.Add(Array("ID", "N", 10, 0)) ' Numeric, 10 digits, 0 decimals
fields.Add(Array("NAME", "C", 50, 0)) ' Text, 50 characters
' 4. WGS84 projection (standard GPS coordinate system)
Dim wkt As String = "GEOGCS[""WGS84"",DATUM[""WGS84"",SPHEROID[""WGS84"",6378137,298.257223563]]]"
' 5. Create shapefile
Dim success As Boolean = Exporter.CreateShapefileFinal(File.DirInternal, "sample_points", points, fields, "UTF-8", wkt)
' 6. Check result
If success Then
Log("Shapefile created successfully in: " & File.DirInternal)
Log("Files created:")
Log(" - sample_points.shp")
Log(" - sample_points.shx")
Log(" - sample_points.dbf")
Log(" - sample_points.prj")
Log(" - sample_points.cpg")
Else
Log("Failed to create shapefile")
End If
End Sub
' Field definition explanation:
' fields.Add(Array("NAME", "C", 50, 0))
'
' "NAME" - Field name (appears as column header in GIS)
' Maximum 10 characters
'
' "C" - Field Type: C = Character/Text, N = Numeric
'
' 50 - Maximum characters this field can store (1-255)
' 10 = Short names like "P1"
' 50 = Medium text like "Main Street North"
' 255 = Maximum length (paragraph)
'
' 0 - Decimal places (always 0 for Text fields)
