Hello, I'm workign through the Getting Started sample for the XamWebMap. I'd like to simply use the shape file that is referred to in the sample
reader.Uri =
"Shapefiles/usa_st";
Is this file posted somewhere where I can easily find it ? I've poked around the numerous "General Mapping References" websites mentioned in section 4.1.3.2 "Obtaining a Shapefile"but this would be SOOOOO much easier to do a basic getting started sample if I didn't have to do this wild-goose-chase looking for shape files.
The getting started stuff is great - but in this case a simple link to a shapefile used in the sample would be very handy.
Thanks in advance
Thank you - thats a big help.... its much appreciated
That specific shapefile is attached to this forum post.
Also, I have a blog post with links to lots of other free shapefiles:

http://www.google.com/search?q=free+shapefiles
the seventh result for me on that search is http://www.cipotato.org/diva/data/MoreData.htm
the first few links on that page are some good free shapefiles
