I just downloaded the map suite 3.0 evaluation version and sussessfully completed the get started topic. Now I want to use my own shapefiles, which do not use separate index files, and adjusted the coding to do so. When rendering I get the message require index property = "F". Question is where do I find index property to set it to F
Using new shapefile type
Bob,
Can you send the exact message please? I think the issue is that you need to build our spatial index file for the shape files. The error message, if it is the one I am thinking it could be, is an override that lets you use shape files without a spatial index but only if you set the property to false. I do not suggest this and I suggest you create the index. It is one time and after that is makes them run very fast. The code below will build the spatial index. As an FYI it is a static method on the class.
ShapeFileFeatureLayer.BuildIndexFile(@"C:\MyPath\MyShapeFile.shp");
