Sample code that demonstrates how to open an existing shapefile and save that shapefile with a new file name.
Imports DotSpatial.Data
Private Sub button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)
'Declare a new feature set
Dim fs As New FeatureSet()
'Pass in the file path for the standard shapefile that will be opened
fs.Open("C:\Temp\roads.shp")
'Saves the open shapefile
fs.SaveAs("C:\Temp\roads_test.shp", True)
End Sub
