How to Display the Map from the Shape files in ASP.NET?

 

[Guest]

Are you talking about GIS shapes?

Hello Vikas,

As David has asked, is the shapefile you mentioend the GIS shape files? If
so, what is the exact format fo shapefile are you using since there are
different formats on this.

Based on my understanding, shape file is not naturally supported to display
in web page(html). I think you need to use some 3rd party shapefile parser
to read shape file and convert it into Image stream and display them on web
page. Here are some resoruces I have found which may be helpful:
