When I run an application with STATES.SHP, everything runs fine, When I use the tl_2008_41_county.shp from the Census Bureau which I locate in the same directory as the STATES.SHP, the following returns nothing.
Application.GetResourceStream(
New Uri("App_Data/tl_2008_41_county.shp", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
Any ideas?
