Commented Unassigned: Create Int64 raster not recognized [25545]

Hi all

I was trying to convert a vectorToRaster where the vector value is int64 (the type I keep in converting it to raster).

In Data.BinaryRasterProvider.cs I had to add the following in the create method

```
if (dataType == typeof(Int64))
{
BgdRaster<Int64> r = new BgdRaster<Int64>(name, ySize, xSize);
return r;
}

```

I guess something should be also added to the Open method since it does not deal with Int64. I don't know the number to assign to the type Int64

Thanks

The point is, what is written to the bgd file? the "7" identifier or a string saying Int64?

Because if the BGD format is used outside Dotspatial the data type should be something that is understood by other GIS.

I don't know, maybe it would be better to force conversion to Int32 in the VectorToRaster method? (I don't think a raster really needs to be Int64). My problem come from the creation of a shapefile with an attribute field that is typed Int64 and I tried to convert it to raster, but I don't really need the raster to preserve the Int64 datatype.

However, on top of RasterDataType.cs the following lines are reported

// The Original Code is from MapWindow.dll version 6.0
//
// The Initial Developer of this Original Code is Ted Dunsford. Created 2/23/2008 8:21:20 AM

Maybe Ted is still around so we may ask him where those codes come from. What do you think?
