I've been using the WinformsMap control in my project, but I've noticed in many of the Desktop projects in the code community the samples use MapEngine to do the work. Which is the recommended class to use for Winforms projects?
Thanks,

MapEngine or WinformsMap?
The reason many of the projects in the Code Community are in Services version is because only the MapSuiteCore.dll is required as reference so that users of any versions such as Winforms Desktop, Wpf Desktop, Web, Silverlight etc can run the projects with only the MapSuiteCore.dll which is common to all versions.
If you wanto convert a Services edition project to Desktop, it is very easy and just a few lines of codes are necessary to change as most of the code is equal.
You can compare the two following projects, they are basically identical. One is in the Services edition and the other is in the Desktop edition.
