Hello,
Im reading and using some of the projects that are posted on the thinkgeo site.I'm having the following problem and i wanted some1 to clarify some things. Most of the examples uses mapEngine but i use <cc1:Map> so Map1 and i cant understand how i can change the MapEngine to work with my programms.
Is it because most of these examples uses windowForm and not aspx?
How can i transform the use of mapEngine examples to work with my aspx <cc1:Map> pages
Thanks in advanced

Many projects in the Code Community require only the MapSuiteCore.dll (Services edition) allowing Desktop, Web, Silverlight users to run the project. If you want to convert those projects into Web projects, it is quite simple and you need only to understand a little bit about the Overlay/Layer differences between the Services and Web versions.
-In the Services edition, you add directly the layers to the collections: MapEngine.StaticLayers, MapEngine.DynamicLayers or MapEngine.AdornmentLayers.
-In the Web edition, you need to add to Overlays collection. Overlays are edition specific to take advantage of the Web or Desktop technology for enhanced drawing, speed etc. Layers are edition neutral.
So, let say that you have a shapefile:
Edition Neutral:
ShapeFileFeatureLayer Layer1 = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer(shapePath);
Layer1.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultAreaStyle = AreaStyles.Country1;
Layer1.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level20;
Services Edition:
mapEngine.StaticLayers.Add("WorldLayer", Layer1);
Web Edition:
LayerOverlay layerOverlay = new LayerOverlay("WorldOverlay", false, TileType.SingleTile);
layerOverlay.TransitionEffect = TransitionEffect.None;
layerOverlay.Layers.Add("WorldLayer", Layer1);
Map1.CustomOverlays.Add(layerOverlay);
I suggest you watch the video on Layers and you will have a better idea on how this all fit together.
