Form1.cs

    // Create data for the MapLayer.
    MapLayer.Data = CreateData();
private MapDataAdapterBase CreateData() {
    Uri baseUri = new Uri(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location);

    // Create an adapter to load data from shapefile.
    ShapefileDataAdapter adapter = new ShapefileDataAdapter() {
        FileUri = new Uri(baseUri, filename)
    };

    return adapter;
}

Form1.vb

    ' Create data for the MapLayer.
    MapLayer.Data = CreateData()
Private Function CreateData() As MapDataAdapterBase
    Dim baseUri As New Uri(System.Reflection.Assembly.GetEntryAssembly().Location)

    ' Create an adapter to load data from shapefile.
    Dim adapter As New ShapefileDataAdapter() With {.FileUri = New Uri(baseUri, filename)}
