Reimers.dk

Reimers.dk is home of the well known Google Maps .NET Control. The control is now free and open source.

The control follows the Google Maps API faithfully and has classes that shadow most of the classes found in Google's underlying API. There is support for custom overlays, custom maps (including WMS maps), custom map controls, KML read/write support geocoding/routing (in areas supported by Google's geocoding service) and much more.

Using the OverlayManager

Author: Jacob Reimers
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. Read more...

Starting XMPP with .NET

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.

Displaying Additional Information With Your Silverlight Overlays

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.

Google Maps for Silverlight

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.
