I am new to SharpMap

If you are new to SharpMap, please follow these rules:

1. Get the latest source code from Trunk, either by some client or by clicking here.
2. Open the solution using VisualStudio 2010 or MonoDevelop.
3. Compile, complain if it does not build.
4. Build your Application using SharpMap within the SharpMap solution, or add the necessary SharpMap projects to your solution.

You will be rewarded with the latest SharpMap version and a series of example code snipplets / applications to get you started.

Common pitfalls

Error: The type or namespace name 'SharpMap' could not be found
You probably have the wrong target-framework set in your project. You need to target the Full .NET 4.0 framework (default in Visual Studio new projects are targetted .NET 4 Client Framework)

Why don't you provide signed assemblies

We are not providing signed assemblies for various reasons. If you need signed assemblies for your application to work properly, please sign them yourself. This is not a violation of the GPL and thus it applies, from our point of view, to the LGPL as well.
