Hello Rajesh,


Thanks for your post, yes we support Chinese characters, you can set:



shapeLayer.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding(1256);

Notice, the encoding no is not 1256, you need set the right no you need.

Hello Rajesh,


Please check the code below:



 winformsMap1.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree;
            winformsMap1.BackgroundOverlay.BackgroundBrush = new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.GeographicColors.ShallowOcean);

            ShapeFileFeatureLayer worldLayer = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer(@"..\..\SampleData\Data\Countries02.shp");
            worldLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultTextStyle = TextStyles.CreateSimpleTextStyle("POI_NAME", "Arial", 10, DrawingFontStyles.Regular, GeoColor.StandardColors.Red, 0, -12);
            worldLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level20;
            //Chinese encoding page is 936, you can use this.
            worldLayer.Encoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("936");
            WorldMapKitWmsDesktopOverlay worldMapKitDesktopOverlay = new WorldMapKitWmsDesktopOverlay();
            winformsMap1.Overlays.Add(worldMapKitDesktopOverlay);

            LayerOverlay staticOverlay = new LayerOverlay();
            staticOverlay.Layers.Add("WorldLayer", worldLayer);
            
            winformsMap1.Overlays.Add("WorldOverlay", staticOverlay);

            winformsMap1.CurrentExtent = new RectangleShape(-139.2, 92.4, 120.9, -93.2);
            winformsMap1.Refresh();
