• Using the OverlayManager

  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...

• 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. Read More...

• 4D Maps with Silverlight

  By using the TimeRange attached property defined by the OverlayManager, map overlays can now be given information about their temporal context. This opens up a lot of interesting opportunities for displaying map data that changes with time with very few lines of code. Read More...

• GUI Editing of Polygons and Polylines in Silverlight

  The OverlayManager now enables you to make polygons and polylines editable directly in the map GUI. The EnableEditing method creates draggable markers on the map on each of the shapes vertices which allow you to update the position. Furthermore extra vertices can be added simply by clicking the polyline or polygon border. Read More... Posted 21. juni 2009 12:42 by jjrdk | 4 Comments Filed under: Silverlight, Maps

• Using the OverlayManager with Silverlight Maps

  The OverlayManager hooks itself on to a map from the Silverlight map control and handles how overlays are displayed on the map so you don't have to worry about setting the attached properties. It also adds KML support, so you can import and export your overlays to KML for easy standards compliant data exchange. Read More...

• Moving to Silverlight Maps

  The first beta of the Reimers.Silverlight library has been posted to the site. The assembly allows reading and writing of KML files directly in Silverlight. It is designed to work with the Silverlight map control from Microsoft. It also contains a utility class to facilitate overlay handling on the map. In order to support map application, the assembly also adds access to the Reimers.dk AtlasService which allows geocoding and routing operations. Read More...

• What Comes After 10000?

  After 10000 downloads it has become time to reflect on where to go with the Google Maps .NET Control. Google has come out with version 3 of their map API, but Microsoft has developed a Silverlight map control. Which one to choose. Silverlight as a platform offers possibilities that are not available for traditional HTML based web application. But since developing map applications there is more of a gap when it comes to supplying data for applications. Read More...

• Deep Earth

  Previously I wrote about creating a Silverlight control for Google Maps. Sadly Google wasn't up for supporting such a project, and still only allow you to access their map tiles through their API. Well, just shows that you get what you pay for :-) Looking around on the internet, I quickly found the DeepEarth projects on Codeplex. The project rocks. It supports lots of different map providers: Virtual Earth, OpenStreetMaps, WMS maps, etc, with all the rich animation of Silverlight. Read More...

• Map Control for Silverlight

  Google doesn't seem to be as excited about Silverlight as I am, and they have no official plans for a Silverlight map control for the Maps API. So I have decided to take matters into my own hands and develop it myself. Anyone interested in contributing should let me know. Read More...
