I wrote my own map control.
If I use the scroll/zoom bar it zoom into the center!
Did you start from scratch or are you wrapping esri.Map?
The easiest way to get help is to post code that reproduces the issue. Can you post a simple test page that shows the problem?
wcStaticMapControlif you run the application you will have two tabs: Test (selected by default) and Map Panel, please click on the Map Panel then you will get the map, zoom in and you will see that the map is not filling its space. After that click the "Click for postback" button and you might need to zoom in again but this time you will notice that the map had expanded!
