  var shapeLayer=new VEShapeLayer();
  map.DeleteAllShapes();

  var url = "../GetFeature.ashx?";
  url += "Lat=" + Lat;
  url += "&Lon=" + Lon;
  alert(url);

  var veLayerSpec = new VEShapeSourceSpecification(VEDataType.GeoRSS, url, shapeLayer);
  alert(veLayerSpec.LayerSource);

Hi

I guess you might have figured out the issue by now. I too faced the same issue and in my case the issue was with the geoRss output from aspx file. The georss was not a valid XML and I found out this by outputting the aspx to browser directly. In the above example, the URL in the alert msg needs to be typed in address bar and it should show a valid geoRss.

After that was taken care of, this was no more an issue.
