| - | In creating our “QuickstartSample" application, our first step is to set references to the ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Layers, ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Styles and ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Wpf workspaces at the very top of our code, as we will use many classes within them. We do this so that we do not have to use the fully qualified name of the Map Suite classes throughout our code. Setting a reference to the Map Suite workspace can be done in the “code-behind” of the Form by selecting the Form and hitting the F7 function key.
