Example

This example describes how to add a MapControl to a Windows Forms application and connect the control to the BingMapDataProvider data provider at runtime.

1. Run MS Visual Studio.
2. Create a new Windows Forms Application project or open an existing one.

3. Open the Solution Explorer, right-click References and choose Add Reference… to add the Map Control Library.

   

4. Select the following assemblies in the Extensions tab:

   • DevExpress.XtraMap
   • DevExpress.Map.Core
   • DevExpress.Data
   • DevExpress.Utils

   

   Click OK.

5. Handle the Form.Load event as follows:

   C#

   using System;
   using System.Windows.Forms;
   using DevExpress.XtraMap;
   
   namespace MapControlRuntimeSample {
       public partial class Form1 : Form {
           public Form1() {
               InitializeComponent();
           }
           private void OnFormLoad(object sender, EventArgs e) {
               // Create a map control.
               MapControl map = new MapControl();
   
               // Specify the map position on the form.           
               map.Dock = DockStyle.Fill;
   
               // Create a layer.
               ImageLayer layer = new ImageLayer();
               map.Layers.Add(layer);
   
               // Create a data provider.
               BingMapDataProvider provider = new BingMapDataProvider();
               provider.BingKey = "Your Bing Maps key";
               layer.DataProvider = provider;
   
               // Specify the map zoom level and center point. 
               map.ZoomLevel = 3;
               map.CenterPoint = new GeoPoint(40, -100);
   
               // Add the map control to the window.
               this.Controls.Add(map);
           }
       }
   }
   

   VB.NET

   Imports System
   Imports System.Windows.Forms
   Imports DevExpress.XtraMap
   
   Namespace MapControlRuntimeSample
       Partial Public Class Form1
           Inherits Form
   
           Public Sub New()
               InitializeComponent()
           End Sub
           Private Sub OnFormLoad(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
               ' Create a map control.
               Dim map As New MapControl()
   
               ' Specify the map position on the form.           
               map.Dock = DockStyle.Fill
   
               ' Create a layer.
               Dim layer As New ImageLayer()
               map.Layers.Add(layer)
   
               ' Create a data provider.
               Dim provider As New BingMapDataProvider()
               provider.BingKey = "Your Bing Maps key here"
               layer.DataProvider = provider
   
               ' Specify the map zoom level and center point. 
               map.ZoomLevel = 3
               map.CenterPoint = New GeoPoint(40, -100)
   
               ' Add the map control to the window.
               Me.Controls.Add(map)
           End Sub
       End Class
   End Namespace
   

   The example above uses the following entities:

   Class	Description
   MapControl	Displays raster and vector maps. Supports both popular map services (Bing Maps and OpenStreetMap) and custom map data servers inside your corporate network. See Map Control.
