Hi
We would like to use vector tiles in our offline mapping applications, like ones you can get here :- https://openmaptiles.com/downloads/dataset/osm/europe/great-britain/england/#5.03/52.946/-2.426

I think telerik only supports raster files right now.  Is there any plans to support vector files in the future?  Could it be added to the roadmap?

(I am not looking for a way to convert vector files into PNG/Bitmap/JPEG Image tiles in a custom provider thanks)

In the scenario below one should be able to access the defined UserData value in the SearchCompleted event handler

How to reproduce:
protected override void OnLoad(EventArgs e)
        {
            base.OnLoad(e);

            this.radMap1.ShowSearchBar = true;
            BingRestMapProvider bingProvider = this.radMap1.Providers[0] as BingRestMapProvider;
            this.radMap1.MapElement.SearchBarElement.SearchProvider = bingProvider;

            this.radMap1.MapElement.SearchBarElement.SearchProvider.SearchCompleted += BingProvider_SearchCompleted;
        }

        private void BingProvider_SearchCompleted(object sender, SearchCompletedEventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.RectangleG allPoints = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.RectangleG(double.MinValue, double.MaxValue, double.MaxValue, double.MinValue);
            this.radMap1.Layers["Pins"].Clear();
            foreach (Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.Bing.Location location in e.Locations)
            {
                Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.PointG point = new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.PointG(location.Point.Coordinates[0], location.Point.Coordinates[1]);
                MapPin pin = new MapPin(point);
                pin.Size = new System.Drawing.Size(20, 40);
                pin.BackColor = Color.Red;
                pin.ToolTipText = location.Address.FormattedAddress;
                this.radMap1.MapElement.Layers["Pins"].Add(pin);
                allPoints.North = Math.Max(allPoints.North, point.Latitude);
                allPoints.South = Math.Min(allPoints.South, point.Latitude);
                allPoints.West = Math.Min(allPoints.West, point.Longitude);
                allPoints.East = Math.Max(allPoints.East, point.Longitude);
            }
            if (e.Locations.Length > 0)
            {
                if (e.Locations.Length == 1)
                {
                    this.radMap1.BringIntoView(new Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.PointG(e.Locations[0].Point.Coordinates[0], e.Locations[0].Point.Coordinates[1]));
                }
                else
                {
                    this.radMap1.MapElement.BringIntoView(allPoints);
                    this.radMap1.Zoom(this.radMap1.MapElement.ZoomLevel - 1);
                }
            }
            else
            {
                RadMessageBox.Show("No result found for the provided search query!");
            }
        }

        Telerik.WinControls.UI.Map.Bing.SearchRequest request;
        private void radButton1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            Telerik.WinControls.UI.MapLayer pinsLayer = new MapLayer("Pins");
            this.radMap1.Layers.Add(pinsLayer);

            request = new SearchRequest();
            request.Query = "San Marino";
            request.SearchOptions.Count = 10;
            request.SearchOptions.QueryParse = true;
            request.UserData = "Tooltip";
            BingRestMapProvider bingProvider = this.radMap1.Providers[0] as BingRestMapProvider;
            bingProvider.SearchAsync(request);
        }

Workaround:  if possible cache the data to be accessed at a later stage

To reproduce:
- Create a shape with QGIS and add it to RadMap using the approach described in the documentation: http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/map/file-readers/esri-shapefile-reader

You can find attached a sample project, video, demonstrating the steps and a screenshot of the error.

In WPF this is possible with custom provider: https://www.telerik.com/forums/map-control-and-web-map-service

1. Open the demo application >> Map >> Search example.
2. Enter some text and press Enter.
3. Move the mouse a little bit and you will notice the search box looses focus.

Workaround:  this.radMap1.MapElement.SearchBarElement.SearchTextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.LostFocus+=TextBoxItem_LostFocus;

        private void TextBoxItem_LostFocus(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.radMap1.MapElement.SearchBarElement.SearchTextBoxElement.TextBoxItem.TextBoxControl.Focus();
        }

A sample for the required functionality:
public void AddMarker(RadMap Map)
{
    SearchRequest r = new SearchRequest();
    r.Query = "Paris, France";
    r.UserData = new Guid();

    bingProvider.SearchAsync(r);
}

How to reproduce: change the Windows culture to Greek and start the OSM example

How to reproduce:  
public partial class Form3 : Form
 {
     public Form3()
     {
         InitializeComponent();

         MapLayer pointLayer = new MapLayer("PointG");
         pointLayer.ClusterStrategy = new ElementClusterStrategy();
         pointLayer.ClusterDistance = 100;
         this.radMap1.Layers.Add(pointLayer);

         MapPin pin1 = new MapPin(new PointG(45d, 15d)) { BackColor = Color.Coral, ToolTipText = "Tool Tip1" };
         MapPin pin2 = new MapPin(new PointG(44d, 18d)) { BackColor = Color.Coral, ToolTipText = "Tool Tip2" };
         this.radMap1.Layers["PointG"].Add(pin1);
         this.radMap1.Layers["PointG"].Add(pin2);

         this.SetupProviders();
     }

     private void radMap1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
     {
         MapCluster cluster = sender as MapCluster;
         if (cluster != null && cluster.ClusteredItems.Count == 1)
         {
             cluster.ToolTipText = ((MapPin)cluster.ClusteredItems[0]).ToolTipText;
         }
     }

     private void SetupProviders()
     {
         string cacheFolder = @"..\..\cache";
         BingRestMapProvider bingProvider = new BingRestMapProvider();
         bingProvider.Culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
         bingProvider.ImagerySet = ImagerySet.Road;
         bingProvider.UseSession = true;
         bingProvider.BingKey = "...";

         LocalFileCacheProvider cache = new LocalFileCacheProvider(cacheFolder);
         bingProvider.CacheProvider = cache;

         this.radMap1.MapElement.Providers.Add(bingProvider);

         bingProvider.InitializationComplete += bingProvider_InitializationComplete;
     }

     private void bingProvider_InitializationComplete(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
         this.radMap1.BringIntoView(new PointG(45d, 15d), 5);
     }

 }

Workaround: handle the ToolTipNeededEvent
 private void radMap1_ToolTipTextNeeded(object sender, Telerik.WinControls.ToolTipTextNeededEventArgs e)
 {
     MapCluster cluster = sender as MapCluster;
     if (cluster != null && cluster.ClusteredItems.Count == 1)
     {
         cluster.ToolTipText = ((MapPin)cluster.ClusteredItems[0]).ToolTipText;
     }
 }

Until released use the following custom implementation:

        bingProvider.Culture = System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture;
        bingProvider.ImagerySet = ImagerySet.Road;
        bingProvider.UseSession = true;
        bingProvider.BingKey = "YourApiKey";

        LocalFileCacheProvider cache = new LocalFileCacheProvider(cacheFolder);
        bingProvider.CacheProvider = cache;

        this.radMap1.MapElement.Providers.Add(bingProvider);
    }
}

public class MyBingRestMapProvider : BingRestMapProvider
{
    private const string ImageryMetadataServiceUri = "https://dev.virtualearth.net/REST/v1/Imagery/Metadata/{set}?output=json&key={key}&c={culture}&dir={directory}";

    protected override void InitializeImageryService()
    {
        typeof(BingRestMapProvider).GetField("tileMetadataInfo", System.Reflection.BindingFlags.Instance | System.Reflection.BindingFlags.NonPublic).SetValue(this, null);

        try
        {
            string uriString = ImageryMetadataServiceUri;
            uriString = uriString.Replace("{set}", "RoadOnDemand");
            uriString = uriString.Replace("{key}", string.IsNullOrEmpty(this.SessionId) ? this.BingKey : this.SessionId);
            uriString = uriString.Replace("{culture}", this.Culture.ToString());
            uriString = uriString.Replace("{directory}", "0");

            WebClient client = new WebClient();
            client.DownloadStringCompleted += this.InitializeImageryMetadataCompleted;
            client.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri(uriString, UriKind.Absolute));
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
