We need to be able to display any map returned by an OGC WMS (Web Map Service) in the DotSpatial map control using the WebMap plugin. Currently the plugin only supports a list of predefined tile-map services, but not WMS.
 
The article:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/7199/Free-Maps-from-the-Web-Using-Web-Mapping-Service
gives a good overview of the WMS protocol and using it in c# / VB.NET
 
For testing - all functional WMS services that are listed in the catalog www.mapmatters.org
should be also displayable by the DotSpatial WebMap plugin.
 
Some other WMS service directories are:

http://eusoils.jrc.ec.europa.eu/wms/wms.htm (European Soils WMS)
http://www.skylab-mobilesystems.com/en/wms_serverlist.html (any service from this list of WMS servers)

WebMap now supports a lot of WMS servers. I'm resolving this issue. Any issues\feature requests will be decorated as separated tasks.
