Hi all, I have a map control, I add some ShapeFileFeatureLayer and then I add MapTool control, but when I show map page, my MapTools don't show! It lies below the image map. Help me, please! ---

Hi Tran,      I tested your code but it looks everything goes well here. I think your code don’t have problem.      If you still have this problem, could you create a simple sample for reproduce that, so that I can help you find the reason?      Here is my test code:      `protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)        {            if (!Page.IsPostBack)            {                AddBasedMap(Map1);            }        }        public static void AddBasedMap(Map map)        {            map.MapBackground.BackgroundBrush = new GeoSolidBrush(GeoColor.FromHtml("#B3C6D4"));            map.MapUnit = GeographyUnit.DecimalDegree;            map.MapTools.MouseCoordinate.Enabled = true;            map.MapTools.MouseMapTool.Enabled = true;            map.MapTools.ScaleLine.Enabled = true;            map.MapTools.PanZoomBar.Enabled = true;            map.MapTools.AnimationPanMapTool.Enabled = true;            map.MapTools.Logo.Enabled = false;            createBasedLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/SampleData/World/cntry02.shp"));            //createSeaGridLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/BiendongGrid/GridBiendong_polyline.shp"));            //createVNLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/VietNameShape/Vietnam_ellipse.shp"));            //createVNLineLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/VietNameShape/Vietnam_polyline.shp"));            //createVNPointLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/VietNameShape/Vietnam_point.shp"));            //createVNRegionLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/VietNameShape/Vietnam_region.shp"));            //createVNTextLayer(map, HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath("~/MapData/Nen/VietNameShape/Vietnam_text.shp"));        }        private static void createBasedLayer(Map map, String path)        {            ShapeFileFeatureLayer baseLayer = new ShapeFileFeatureLayer(path);            baseLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.DefaultAreaStyle = AreaStyles.CreateSimpleAreaStyle(GeoColor.FromArgb(255, 243, 239, 228), GeoColor.FromArgb(255, 218, 193, 163), 1);            baseLayer.ZoomLevelSet.ZoomLevel01.ApplyUntilZoomLevel = ApplyUntilZoomLevel.Level10;            map.StaticOverlay.Layers.Add(“BaseLayer”, baseLayer);        }`      Regards,      Don ---

I cant create a sample as you say, because my aspx code is very long! But I can supply some error image to you!   MapTool lies below the image map, and the error only happens on IE, not on Firefox!      Images link:   [docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3QAJrjpQxGnOGM1NTliYTQtMTFlZS00ODE1LTk0MDQtMmE4OWY1MGVkZGFh&hl=en\_US](http://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B3QAJrjpQxGnOGM1NTliYTQtMTFlZS00ODE1LTk0MDQtMmE4OWY1MGVkZGFh&hl=en_US) ---

Hi Tran,      Your link cannot be open. Could you upload your image as attach file in this post?      I think your problem will related with environment or some other code in your project. Because I test the code you provide but everything works well both in IE ,FF and Chrome.      Regards,      Don
