Services Applies To: Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	This project provides a sample of how to use the new TinyGeo file format as well as provides an easy to use converter tool for shapefiles. The goal of the TinyGeo file format was to provide our customers with a highly compressed, read only, secure, and easily distributable data file that they could use to disseminate spatial data to their customers. Note:This is a new beta feature of Map Suite 6.0 and only works with Map Suite developer build 5.5.36.0 or later.

This is usefully in many GIS mapping application to save the state of styles, layers, projections or just about anything. The XML is readable and well formatted, great for working with in you GIS application.

Imagine that you have a Layer that has been styled a particular way and uses a certain projection. Once the object is created you can pass it to the code generator and it will create source code to re-create the model passed in. This is very helpful especially in GIS applications where users define things through a custom UI but then want to leverage that in code.

In order to have the bitmap georeferenced or being tied to the ground an accompanying world file needs to be created. That way it can be used as an image layer along with the other layers of the same projection (in this case geodetic). To test the result, you can load the bitmap to Map Suite Explorer and add a vector layer in geodetic to see how the two layers align with each other.

This can be useful when the displayed projection of the map has highly distortable distances especially at high latitudes such as Spherical Mercator (used by Google Map, Virtual Earth, Yahoo maps etc). Using a scale bar based on distance geometry of the Geodetic (WGS84) projection will give a more accurate result. Note that the CustomScaleBar class is based on MapSuiteCore and can be used in any other versions of MapSuite such as Desktop.

Desktop Applies To: Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	This sample shows how you can suppress and draw exceptions in desktop overlays instead of throwing them. There is a little-known feature in the Map Suite Desktop Edition Overlay class that allows you to draw an exception in the event an exception is thrown during the drawing process. We have a default image we draw in this case; however, you can override this using the DrawExceptionCore method and draw whatever you want. By default we always throw expections, but to start drawing them you can use the Overlay.DrawExceptionMode property.

Using an MDI form with a map background can represent a challenge. You will see in this project the technique to display properly a child form on top of the map. You can also notice how the map is accessed from the child form by plotting points on it from the child form.

Here we learn how to get the bitmap of a raster layer (in our example a Mr Sid image) and convert it to bitmap. We learn some techniques such as how to get the image size of the raster layer using ExtentHelper static functions and how to manipulate GeoImage. This project brings a good foundation for building applications converting different image formats.

Services Applies To: Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	In today’s project we learn how to display a simple legend using the new and improved LegendAdornmentLayer. The improved LegendAdornmentLayer is new to the MapSuite 5.0 release and provides an easy to use api for creating legend adornments. The LegendAdornmentLayer is part of MapSuite.Core which gives all MapSuite products access to this powerful new feature.

Web Applies To: Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	This project demonstrates how to create a web-based map using Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and Map Suite Web Edition. To meet the requirements of MVC, we inherit the interface IMapInitializer in the controller, which has a function InitializeMap that is overridden in the controller. We then implement the class "MapInitializerHelper" to initialize the map instance.
