Hi kenneth,

My simple sole purpose is to show data of an area (delhi) and show
point of interests and provide the user with options to do various
kinds of search on those POIs. Thanks to your guidance I've created a
new map and added layers of delhi (shape Files). Now I'm stuck at the
coding part.

I'm getting errors in the dotnetsamples application and don't know how
to display the map of delhi in my own application. However when I
browse the through Maestro the map is coming perfectly with the themes
that I've applied.

 don't know head or tail of what to do and where to start ! :)

thanks for your help !!!!

Nitin
