Hi Moh,

1. We don’t use “binding” here, you can added your features into the layer, then render them.
2. You can override custom style to make your features rendered follow the attributes in them.

You can download our product center and get a lot of samples from it.

Regards,

Don

is there any sample that i can use for adding my custom made objects, as features to map control?

Hi Moh,

Please refer to [http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/map\_suite\_wpf\_desktop\_edition\_project\_templates](http://wiki.thinkgeo.com/wiki/map_suite_wpf_desktop_edition_project_templates), the samples show how to use binding work with WpfMap.

Any questions please let us know.

Thanks,  
Peter
