Hesham,

Thanks&nbsp;for&nbsp;your&nbsp;post&nbsp;and&nbsp;welcome&nbsp;you&nbsp;to&nbsp;ThinkGeo&nbsp;Desktop&nbsp;Discussion&nbsp;forum.  
&nbsp;  
I&nbsp;am&nbsp;not&nbsp;exactly&nbsp;sure&nbsp;about&nbsp;your&nbsp;requirement,&nbsp;while&nbsp;our&nbsp;map&nbsp;control&nbsp;including&nbsp;winforms&nbsp;&&nbsp;wpf&nbsp;versions&nbsp;are&nbsp;targeting&nbsp;2D-mapping&nbsp;technologies,&nbsp;while&nbsp;as&nbsp;far&nbsp;as&nbsp;I&nbsp;understand,&nbsp;the&nbsp;Google&nbsp;earth&nbsp;is&nbsp;an&nbsp;3D&nbsp;mapping&nbsp;viewer.  
&nbsp;  
If&nbsp;you&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;load&nbsp;shape&nbsp;files&nbsp;source,&nbsp;try&nbsp;to&nbsp;take&nbsp;a&nbsp;look&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;following&nbsp;HowDoI&nbsp;samples:  
_HowDoI\Labeling\DrawAndLabelWaterFetures_  
_HowDoI\Querying&nbsp;Feature&nbsp;Layers\SpatialQueryAFeatureLayer_  
&nbsp;  
If&nbsp;you&nbsp;want&nbsp;to&nbsp;load&nbsp;database&nbsp;source,&nbsp;try&nbsp;to&nbsp;take&nbsp;a&nbsp;look&nbsp;at&nbsp;the&nbsp;following&nbsp;sample:  
_HowDoI\Data&nbsp;Providers\LoadMsSql2008FeatureLayer_  
&nbsp;  
Any&nbsp;more&nbsp;questions&nbsp;just&nbsp;feel&nbsp;free&nbsp;to&nbsp;let&nbsp;me&nbsp;know.  
&nbsp;
