The XML Files
This sample uses data from the BuildMap developer sample. When you run BuildMap, it writes these files to the directory containing BuildMap.dll. See the Developer Samples Guide for details.
One file is Zoning.layer. This specifies all the properties for drawing one layer in a map. Note the <ResourceId> element, which refers to the resource for the feature source.

The second file is Zoning.FeatureSource, which defines the properties of an SDF feature source. The File parameter points to the location on disk. See Feature Service for more details.
