Hi,  
I’m trying to display kml file on map but file is not displaying.  
I’ve referred this wiki site.

> **[ThinkGeo Docs](https://docs.thinkgeo.com)**

> Documentation for ThinkGeo

Here, I’m attaching my sample code.Please have a look.  
these are kml & supported files

Thanks Mouni,  
We rebuild the kml layer in the mapsuite 12. It should be easier to load kml here is the sample code.

```
private void Window_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{

    mapView.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree;

    KmlFeatureLayer layer = new KmlFeatureLayer(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"\App_Data\VMP_16_07.kml");
    string projString = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(System.AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + @"\App_Data\VMP_16_07.kml.prj");
    ProjectionConverter projectionConverter = new ProjectionConverter(Projection.ConvertWktToProjString(projString), 4326);
    projectionConverter.Open();

    layer.EnableEmbeddedStyle = false;
    layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultLineStyle = LineStyle.CreateSimpleLineStyle(GeoColor.FromArgb(255, 169, 195, 221), 2F, GeoColors.Red, 4F, false);
    layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultAreaStyle = AreaStyle.CreateSimpleAreaStyle(GeoColor.FromArgb(255, 233, 232, 214), GeoColor.FromArgb(255, 156, 155, 154), 1);
    layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultPointStyle = PointStyle.CreateSimplePointStyle(PointSymbolType.Circle, GeoColors.Red, 5);
    layer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level20;
    layer.FeatureSource.ProjectionConverter = projectionConverter;
    layer.Open();
    mapView.CurrentExtent = layer.GetBoundingBox();
    LayerOverlay layerOverlay = new LayerOverlay();
    layerOverlay.Layers.Add(layer);
    mapView.Overlays.Add(layerOverlay);
    mapView.Refresh();
}

```

Thank you Frank for your reply.  
The code I’ve attached is in MapSuite v7.0. & .NET framework 4.7.2. I’m not using .xml version so I’m not getting how to convert above mentioned two ProjectionConverter lines in my code.Please provide alternative solution to this as soon.
