Hi&nbsp;Jakub,  
  
  
  
In&nbsp;general,&nbsp;the&nbsp;correct&nbsp;steps&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;like&nbsp;this:

  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. Active&nbsp;the&nbsp;product.&nbsp;Here&nbsp;is&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Edition&nbsp;for&nbsp;you.
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. Download&nbsp;the&nbsp;full&nbsp;dll&nbsp;packages.&nbsp;After&nbsp;the&nbsp;downloading,&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;see&nbsp;the&nbsp;downloaded&nbsp;full&nbsp;dlls&nbsp;under&nbsp;the&nbsp;the&nbsp;folder&nbsp;like&nbsp;installationFolder/MapSuite&nbsp;8.0/Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Web/Full&nbsp;Release&nbsp;8.0.0.xxx/
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. Download&nbsp;the&nbsp;online&nbsp;samples&nbsp;and&nbsp;open&nbsp;it&nbsp;in&nbsp;VS.&nbsp;
  
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4. Change&nbsp;the&nbsp;sample&nbsp;references&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Full&nbsp;dll&nbsp;packages&nbsp;we&nbsp;just&nbsp;downloaded&nbsp;in&nbsp;step&nbsp;2.
  

  
Would&nbsp;you&nbsp;please&nbsp;double&nbsp;check&nbsp;if&nbsp;the&nbsp;sample&nbsp;references&nbsp;toward&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;full&nbsp;map&nbsp;suite&nbsp;dlls?  
  
If&nbsp;the&nbsp;issue&nbsp;persists,&nbsp;please&nbsp;list&nbsp;your&nbsp;steps&nbsp;and&nbsp;show&nbsp;us&nbsp;your&nbsp;‘Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Web’&nbsp;folder&nbsp;files&nbsp;structure.  
  
Thanks.  
  
Troy

That&nbsp;does&nbsp;not&nbsp;make&nbsp;much&nbsp;sense.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;The&nbsp;reference&nbsp;was&nbsp;pointed&nbsp;to&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;C:\Program&nbsp;Files&nbsp;(x86)\ThinkGeo\Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;8.0\Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Services\Current&nbsp;Version\Managed&nbsp;Assemblies\MapSuiteCore.dll&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;which&nbsp;is&nbsp;where&nbsp;it&nbsp;was&nbsp;installed&nbsp;through&nbsp;the&nbsp;product&nbsp;center.&nbsp;The&nbsp;sample&nbsp;did&nbsp;not&nbsp;work.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;When&nbsp;I&nbsp;manually&nbsp;mapped&nbsp;the&nbsp;reference&nbsp;to&nbsp;a&nbsp;downloeded&nbsp;WebEditionFull8.0.0.59DllPackage&nbsp;folder&nbsp;in&nbsp;Temp&nbsp;folder&nbsp;the&nbsp;sameple&nbsp;worked.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Why?&nbsp;

Jakub,&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;I&nbsp;see&nbsp;it.&nbsp;By&nbsp;default,&nbsp;the&nbsp;online&nbsp;samples&nbsp;are&nbsp;referring&nbsp;the&nbsp;core&nbsp;dll&nbsp;to&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Services&nbsp;and&nbsp;in&nbsp;your&nbsp;end,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Edition’s&nbsp;core&nbsp;dll&nbsp;is&nbsp;still&nbsp;under&nbsp;evaluation.&nbsp;So&nbsp;we&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;change&nbsp;MapSuiteCore.dll&nbsp;referring&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Web&nbsp;Edition&nbsp;dlls’&nbsp;rather&nbsp;than&nbsp;using&nbsp;the&nbsp;Map&nbsp;Suite&nbsp;Services&nbsp;by&nbsp;default.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;In&nbsp;general,&nbsp;after&nbsp;downloading&nbsp;the&nbsp;online&nbsp;sample,&nbsp;changing&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;map&nbsp;suite&nbsp;dlls(including&nbsp;core)&nbsp;to&nbsp;refer&nbsp;the&nbsp;activated&nbsp;product&nbsp;dlls&nbsp;should&nbsp;be&nbsp;fine.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Hope&nbsp;it&nbsp;helps.&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;
