Map Control in 2016.1 - Documentation Missing

[Markus Weiß]

I am interested in using the map control of version 2016.1. This would be an incentive for us to upgrade from our currently used version 2015.1.

But i was unable to find any documentation or sample for the map control. Any pointers would be helpful.

I tried to make it work but i always got index out-of range errors during the preview when i had my data source connected.

Thanks

Hello Markus,

We will try to prepare a documentation and samples to the next major release which will in September.

Can you please send us a sample with test data which reproduces the issue for analysis.

Thank you.

I got it working now in WPF an WinForms Designer. Thank you. But still, a documentation including the gauge control as well would be helpful.

Just one additional issue I am facing. I am able to define a Map Style but i am unable to assign it to my map control. In the WinForms Designer, i am unable to assign my custom style. The style is not selectable, neither in the Map control nor in the property grid as component style.

But even worse in the WPF Designers. V1 and V2 do not seem to support the Map Style at all. Even worse in V2 i get an exception when a try to use the Style Designer, when i do have a map style in my report definition. See "object reference not set" exception below. I was using the latest build 2016.1.27.0 on a Windows 10 64 Bit system.
