Hi Paul,
Can you provide more details on what is happening in the code? Are you using the code sample from the home page of this project to load the shapefiles? If you are using it, do you have any entries in shapefileReader.Records collection after calling shapefileReader.Read()? Also, can you confirm that no exception is being thrown on Read?
Thank You,
Vish
