The sidx file extension is associated with the SharpMap mapping library. The .sidx file contains a spatial index used to optimize spatial queries. Files with sidx extension are used by SharpMap. The sidx file extension can also be found in other file types not supported by SharpMap.
SharpMap is a mapping library for web and desktop GIS applications. It provides access to many types of GIS data. Files with the sidx extension store spatial index data used by SharpMap.
Sidx files themselves do not contain the data they reference. Only reference information about files located in a separate archive are stored. An application enables users to view the contents of an archive without decompressing it first.
To open an sidx file, update the application used to open them. Only the latest versions support the current sidx format. Also scan sidx files for viruses with antivirus software before opening. When double-clicked, Windows examines the sidx extension. If unrecognized, Windows asks you to select an app to open the file. Associating the sidx extension with SharpMap in Windows Registry can allow correct programs to open sidx files automatically.
