    Thanks Marco for the FME Objects mention. However, I will point out that the # of formats is now over 200! So pretty much anything GISish can be read or written. Every FME installation comes with an FME Objects runtime as well as the developer kit, so it is easy to get started with it as well — details can be found at http://www.safe.com/partners/tools/FMEobjects.php
