New Post: Linking dotspatial and mapwindow components

Thanks dan for your answer and explanation.

Believe me , that's what I'm doing right now , I'm enjoying discovering the new Dotspatial environment and its capabilities. I started developing my application using Mapwindow but after that I moved to Dotspatial because it's more flexible and easy to understand and use.

However I posted this question because I faced this problem : SpatialMenuStrip and SpatialStatusStrip are obsolete , so I used a normal Windows forms menu strip and status strip. After that , I wanted to implement many method like showMargin,zoomIn,zoomOut,Refresh,selectAll,selectNone,removeLayer and many other methods.
I figured that it will be easy to use the same method that you used in Dotspatial source code (_layerControl.showmargin() or whatever) but in my case _layerControl do not recognise the menuStrip or the statusStrip so I can't link them together and that's the problem I'm facing.

So do you see now why did I post this question .

And I'm sorry if I did bother you , as you know Im new in GIS programming.

Thanks
