Hello,

I've downloaded this and tried it and it works very well. Thanks a million.

One thing I see is that when I try to, load the project with Expression Blend (2 Service Pack 1) I get an error -

"Method not found 'Void System.Windows.Media .Imaging.BitmapImage.ctor(system.uri)'".

The workaround is of course to remove the control from the page, do the pretty pretty stuff, then put it back!

Do you have an example page please for using the Open Street Maps control?

Best Regards

Bob

I think the problem is that you are using Silverlight 2. The problem may be caused by a constructor that is not present in Silverlight 2. Try changing the SetImageSource method of the StaticMap class to use the empty constructor and then set the UriSource after.

Regarding the OSM map control, then it is in fact the Bing Maps Silverlight control CTP. I created the OverlayManager which hooks into the map. Simply assign the map to manage to the OverlayManager and then use it to handle the display of overlays. 

Thanks. I tried this:-

//BitmapImage mapPicture = new BitmapImage(GetMapUri());

// REM 07-Sep-09

BitmapImage mapPicture = new BitmapImage();

mapPicture.UriSource = GetMapUri();

But it throws a similar error. I'm downloading Expression Blend 3 and will see what happens with that.

Thanks very much.

Just confirming that the problem went away when Expression Blend 3 was installed.

I'm very surprised that it continues to throw the constructor exception even if you are not passing in the Uri in the constructor. Glad to hear that it works in Blend 3, that is what it was developed for.

Just wondering how to download this control?

If you go to the downloads section you will find that it is included in the Silverlight Utility Library.
