The Region property may change when a new map is created or an existing map is opened because maps of both GeoMapRegions are accessible through the MapPoint Control as long as both versions of MapPoint are installed.
To open a map in the Control, use the NewMap method to open a map based on a template or the OpenMap method to open an existing .ptm file.
