Hi Igor, Thanks fro the reply. I don't know the capabilities of SharpMap, but for what he commented, I assumed this library could replace many of your drawing code because of the many primitives it contains, so you don't need to code it from scratch. I don't know if it does image georeferencing or rectification, but it seems that there is a new 2.0 version coming soon with many more options. Maybe is this the version you need?
