Dave,
MapX 4.x can read & display native ESRI shape files using the
'Map.Layers.Add LayerInfoObject' method. There is a major drawback though -
you have to know the projection of the data and specify that in the
'LayerInfoObject' - MapX does not seem to be able to get the projection from
the shape file itself. MapX also renders the goemetry in the MapX default
styles.
