Maps in the MidnFusion.Mapping library are represented by the Map class. Its LoadFromFile method can load map data from files in the ESRI Shapefile format. Shapefiles come with an associated DBF database, that can provide various attribute values for the map elements. To load the DBF database along with the main map file, set the loadDatabase parameter of LoadFromFile to true. The loaded database can be accessed via the Database property, and each record associated with a map element is exposed via the DatabaseRow property of the Shape class.
To display a map once it is loaded, assign it to the BaseMap property of the MapView control, or add a new MapLayer to the view and assign the map to its Map property.
