Example

The following example shows how use the MbTilesDataProvider to load vector tiles from an MbTiles file:

C#

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) {
    ImageLayer layer = new ImageLayer();
    MbTilesDataProvider dataProvider = new MbTilesDataProvider();
    dataProvider.FileUri = new Uri(@"D:\countries.mbtiles", UriKind.Absolute);
    dataProvider.StyleFileUri = new Uri(@"D:\style.json", UriKind.Absolute);
    layer.DataProvider = dataProvider;
    mapControl1.Layers.Add(layer);
}            

VB.NET

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
    Dim layer As ImageLayer = New ImageLayer()
    Dim dataProvider As MbTilesDataProvider = New MbTilesDataProvider()
    dataProvider.FileUri = New Uri("D:\countries.mbtiles", UriKind.Absolute)
    dataProvider.StyleFileUri = New Uri("D:\style.json", UriKind.Absolute)
    layer.DataProvider = dataProvider
    mapControl1.Layers.Add(layer)
End Sub
