Major problem with Bing Maps and Shape File Merge
posted

I have spent the last two days trying to incorporate Bing Maps with a xhape file. I have read and tried all of the postings that I have found on your site. And I am still not able to merge my shape file into the Bing Map using the Infragistics xamMap control.

I would love to send you the pdf file that I am using, however, due to your rile limitations,. I am unable to do so. The shape file that I am using is the Oregon School District shape file that is available from http://navigator.state.or.us/sdl/data/shapefile/k100/schooldistricts.zip

Is there something wrong with this shape file? Can you merge the shape file with the Bing Map? If so, could you send me the front and back in code to do so?

Thanks

    Hi flowerdj

    Please try with the following code snippet:

    <igMap:ShapeFileReader Uri="ShapeFiles/school/schooldistricts">
     <igMap:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
      <igMap:CoordinateSystem UnitType="FT" FalseEasting="1312335.958" FalseNorthing="0.0" >
       <igMap:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
        <igMap:LambertConformalConic EllipsoidType="GRS1980"
                CentralMeridian="-120.5" StandardParallelNorth="43.0"
                StandardParallelSouth="45.5"  LatitudeOrigin="41.75"  />
       </igMap:CoordinateSystem.Projection>
      </igMap:CoordinateSystem>
     </igMap:ShapeFileReader.CoordinateSystem>
    </igMap:ShapeFileReader>
    </igMap:MapLayer.Reader>

    The information about shapefile's coordinate system and projection is stored in the .prj file. Ufortunately we don't read that file, but you can open it notepad and manually set data as in the above sample. The result is:
