Thanks to contributions from users the map control now lets you create custom markers using the labeled marker library and make use of the enterprise license. To facilitate application integration the control code has been changed to make use of interfaces where possible.

If you haven't heard about XMPP before then I suggest that you find out what it is. In short, it's the protocol that Google Talk uses. But XMPP is so much more, and if you want to integrate real-time communication in your application, for example for multi-user collaboration, like Google Wave, then XMPP is a good option. This post is about the newly added XMPP support to the Reimers.dll which will let you get started adding collaboration support to your application.

Plotting a marker on your map is good for making your users aware that there is something worth noting at a certain geographic location. But even with Silverlight there is a limit to what you can reasonably display at the top level. The InfoContent is an attached property defined by the OverlayManager (Reimers.Silverlight.Bing.OverlayManager). It takes a UIElement, which is what will be displayed when the overlay is clicked. You set the InfoContent attached property like you would any other attached property, either in XAML or in code.

The OverlayManager (Reimers.Silverlight.Bing.OverlayManager) is intended to facilitate displaying overlays on the Bing Maps Silverlight control. The map control is very good for displaying map imagery, but in my opinion it gives you too much flexibility when it comes to displaying overlays. Let's face it, there's so much you can do in the Silverlight world, that it's easy to get overwhelmed. The OverlayManager is intended to help you perform common tasks when it comes to displaying overlays on a map.

The Silverlight control allows you to display map imagery from Google's Static Map API v2. The StaticMap control supports all the features of the Static Map API v2, which means you can display overlays and many different image types. You can define all the properties directly in XAML or you can bind them to other values in your application. So if you don't need all the flash of DeepZoom maps, but need to display some geographic data, then this is what you are looking for.

I'm going to be allowing users to filter marker display based on postal code so I loaded zipcode boundaries into SQL Server 2008 using the geom data type. I'd like to actually display the postal code boundary but I'm not sure that this is possible?

Hello, Is there any documentation specific to this Alpha version of the new control? I would love to implement this, but there seem to be some substantial differences, such as it not seeming to select a map type by default. Have you any advice? Thanks,

Post title is a little misleading as clientside geocoding is working fine. Where I'm struggling is in trying to pass the location information in the querystring and have the application automatically geocode. Basically I added the bolded code which would
