&nbsp;Howard,&nbsp;what&nbsp;does&nbsp;this&nbsp;generally&nbsp;mean?

Tiles&nbsp;are&nbsp;coming&nbsp;from&nbsp;a&nbsp;WMS&nbsp;hosted&nbsp;inhouse.&nbsp;Your&nbsp;online&nbsp;demo&nbsp;world&nbsp;map&nbsp;kit&nbsp;is&nbsp;also&nbsp;coming&nbsp;in&nbsp;as&nbsp;red&nbsp;x's.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;All&nbsp;of&nbsp;these&nbsp;maps&nbsp;used&nbsp;to&nbsp;load&nbsp;fine&nbsp;but&nbsp;now&nbsp;they&nbsp;all&nbsp;load&nbsp;with&nbsp;red&nbsp;x's.

TIA.

&nbsp;This&nbsp;means&nbsp;an&nbsp;exception&nbsp;is&nbsp;caught&nbsp;when&nbsp;attempt&nbsp;to&nbsp;request&nbsp;image&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;WMS&nbsp;server.&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;set&nbsp;DrawingExceptionMode&nbsp;property&nbsp;to&nbsp;ThrowException&nbsp;on&nbsp;the&nbsp;WmsOverlay&nbsp;to&nbsp;see&nbsp;what&nbsp;the&nbsp;real&nbsp;exception&nbsp;is.&nbsp;If&nbsp;it&nbsp;is&nbsp;the&nbsp;exception&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;server,&nbsp;you&nbsp;might&nbsp;need&nbsp;to&nbsp;check&nbsp;the&nbsp;server&nbsp;log&nbsp;file.&nbsp;Would&nbsp;you&nbsp;might&nbsp;to&nbsp;send&nbsp;us&nbsp;your&nbsp;code&nbsp;so&nbsp;that&nbsp;we&nbsp;can&nbsp;check&nbsp;for&nbsp;you?&nbsp;  
&nbsp;&nbsp;  
&nbsp;Thanks,&nbsp;

Howard,&nbsp;I&nbsp;see&nbsp;the&nbsp;problem.&nbsp;&nbsp;This&nbsp;happens&nbsp;when&nbsp;I&nbsp;create&nbsp;a&nbsp;FileBitmapTileCache&nbsp;for&nbsp;LayerOverlay&nbsp;with&nbsp;a&nbsp;file&nbsp;name&nbsp;that&nbsp;contains&nbsp;invalid&nbsp;file&nbsp;name&nbsp;characters.

Issue&nbsp;can&nbsp;be&nbsp;considered&nbsp;solved,&nbsp;thanks&nbsp;again.
