Dave,
The reason why MapX cannot get the projection is because that
shapefiles do not keep information about projection. Thus there is no way
for MapX to read it.
Thanks,

Question
Dave,
MapX 4.x can read & display native ESRI shape files using the
'Map.Layers.Add LayerInfoObject' method. There is a major drawback
though -
you have to know the projection of the data and specify that in the
'LayerInfoObject' - MapX does not seem to be able to get the
projection from
the shape file itself. MapX also renders the goemetry in the MapX
default
styles.

Does anybody out there know of any information regarding the reading
and
editing
of ESRI Shapefiles using the MapX language?
