-# WinForms maps getting started
+# Getting Started with Windows Forms Map
-This repository contains sample to getting started with the [Syncfusion WinForms Maps](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/map/getting-started) control. WinForms Maps is a graphical representation of geographical data. This is used to represent the statistical data of a particular geographical area on the earth. Using pan and zoom features, maps can be navigated.
+This sample demonstrates how to create and customize a Syncfusion® WinForms Maps control.
-## Syncfusion controls
+## Prerequisites
-This project used the following Syncfusion control(s):
-* [Maps](https://www.syncfusion.com/winforms-ui-controls/map)
+- Visual Studio 2022 or later
+- .NET Framework 4.7.2 or later
+- Syncfusion `Syncfusion.Maps.Windows` NuGet package
-## Requirements to run the sample
+## Assembly Deployment
-* [Microsoft Visual Studio](https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/downloads/) 2008 or higher.
-* .NET 2.0 or higher.
+To use the Maps control, add the following NuGet packages to your project:
-Refer to the following link for more details: [System Requirements](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/system-requirements)
+Open the **Package Manager Console** and run:
-## How to run the sample
+```
+Install-Package Syncfusion.Maps.Windows
+Install-Package Syncfusion.Shared.Base
+Install-Package Syncfusion.Shared.Windows
+Install-Package Syncfusion.Licensing
+```
-1. Clone the sample and open it in Visual Studio.
+Or, add the references directly in your `.csproj` file:
- *Note: If you download the sample using the "Download ZIP" option, right-click it, select Properties, and then select Unblock.*
+```xml
+
+
+
+
+
+
+```
-2. Register your license key in static void main method before calling Application.Run() method in C#, as demonstrated in the following code.
+## Adding Maps to the Form
- static void Main()
- {
- //Register Syncfusion license
- Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
-
- Application.EnableVisualStyles();
- Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
- Application.Run(new Form1());
- }
-
- Refer to this [link](https://help.syncfusion.com/windowsforms/licensing/overview) for more details.
-
-3. Clean and build the application.
+### Step 1: Create a Windows Forms Application
-4. Run the application.
+Open Visual Studio, create a new **Windows Forms App** project targeting **.NET Framework 4.7.2** or higher.
-## License
+### Step 2: Add the Maps Control
-Syncfusion has no liability for any damage or consequence that may arise by using or viewing the samples. The samples are for demonstrative purposes, and if you choose to use or access the samples, you agree to not hold Syncfusion liable, in any form, for any damage that is related to use, for accessing, or viewing the samples. By accessing, viewing, or seeing the samples, you acknowledge and agree Syncfusion’s samples will not allow you seek injunctive relief in any form for any claim related to the sample. If you do not agree to this, do not view, access, utilize, or otherwise do anything with Syncfusion’s samples.
+In the `Form1.Designer.cs` (or code-behind), initialize and add the `Maps` control:
+
+```csharp
+using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps;
+
+// Initialize the Maps control
+this.mapsControl1 = new Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps.Maps();
+
+// Set properties
+this.mapsControl1.Name = "mapsControl1";
+this.mapsControl1.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(880, 585);
+
+// Add to the form
+this.Controls.Add(this.mapsControl1);
+```
+
+### Step 3: Add a Shape File Layer
+
+In the `Form1.cs` file, add a ShapeFileLayer to display map data:
+
+```csharp
+using Syncfusion.Windows.Forms.Maps;
+using System;
+using System.Windows.Forms;
+
+public partial class Form1 : Form
+{
+ public Form1()
+ {
+ InitializeComponent();
+ }
+
+ private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
+ {
+ ShapeFileLayer shapeLayer = new ShapeFileLayer();
+ shapeLayer.Uri = "world1.shp";
+ this.mapsControl1.Layers.Add(shapeLayer);
+ }
+}
+```
+
+## Running the Sample
+
+1. Clone or download this repository.
+2. Open `MapsGettingStarted.sln` in Visual Studio.
+3. Restore NuGet packages.
+4. Build and run the project (`F5`).
+
