How to: Load a Vector Cartesian Map

Jun 07, 2019

To load a vector Cartesian map, do the following.

Crete a ShapefileDataAdapter object.
Set its CoordinateSystemDataAdapterBase.SourceCoordinateSystem property to a CartesianSourceCoordinateSystem object.
Specify its ShapefileDataAdapter.FileUri property.
Assign this object to the VectorLayer.Data property.

MainWindow.xaml.cs
MainWindow.xaml
MainWindow.xaml.vb

csharp

using System.Windows;
using DevExpress.Xpf.Map;

namespace CartesianMap {
    public partial class MainWindow : Window {
        public MainWindow() {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void VectorLayer_DataLoaded(object sender, DataLoadedEventArgs e) {
            mapControl.ZoomToFitLayerItems();
        }
    }
}
