Hi grabah,

Setting EllipsoidType="WGS84" fixed the issue.  SphericalMercator's EllipsoidType sets or gets the current projections's datum.

For the zooming issue try setting XamMap's WindowRect and WorldRect explicitly after shapefile is imported:

MapLayer layer = new MapLayer();

ShapeFileReader reader = new ShapeFileReader();

CoordinateSystem cord = new CoordinateSystem();
SphericalMercator spMerc = new SphericalMercator();
spMerc.EllipsoidType = EllipsoidType.WGS84;
cord.Projection = spMerc;
reader.CoordinateSystem = cord;

reader.Uri = "akcijski_koridor";
DataMapping.Converter converter = new DataMapping.Converter();
reader.DataMapping = converter.ConvertFromString("Caption=POLGON") as DataMapping;
layer.Reader = reader;
xamMap1.Layers.Add(layer);

layer.Imported += (layerSender, layerEvents) =>
{
 if (layerEvents.Action == MapLayerImportAction.End)
 {
  xamMap1.WindowRect = xamMap1.WorldRect = layer.WorldRect;
 }
};

layer.ImportAsync();

Could you please check again if latest SR is applied. As a workaround try to remove it with the following code:

 xamMap.Layers.RemoveAt(0);

It finally works, great! thank you very much!

so whats was the catch, EllipsoidType="WGS84"?

Im doing the loading from the code like this:

           MapLayer layer = new MapLayer();

            ShapeFileReader reader = new ShapeFileReader();

            CoordinateSystem cord = new CoordinateSystem();
            SphericalMercator spMerc = new SphericalMercator();
            spMerc.EllipsoidType = EllipsoidType.WGS84;
            cord.Projection = spMerc;
            reader.CoordinateSystem = cord;

            reader.Uri = "akcijski_koridor";
            DataMapping.Converter converter = new DataMapping.Converter();
            reader.DataMapping = converter.ConvertFromString("Caption=POLGON") as DataMapping;
            layer.Reader = reader;
            xamMap1.Layers.Add(layer);
            layer.ImportAsync();

I still have some problems with zooming thou. When first loaded shape file is mostly centered corectly, but if I trie to replace it with some other shape in a new layer I can't get it to display properly. I guess it's becouse of the funky coordinates and world sizes in those files...

and also I updated to latest version but still problem with persisted image after all layers are clerad is here. Only after I move new layer or zoom it new shape shows up and old one dissapears.

Yes, You can send the shapefiles and we will investigate the issue further.

Thanks,
