Silverlight Mapping Control

Infragistics Mapping Control for Silverlight 3 delivers information to end users in an easy to read fashion.

Now you can present end users with your geospatial data in rich and interactive maps featuring panning, zooming, image tiling, mouseover effects and tooltips.

Extensibly designed with events and properties enabling its more sophisticated behavior, xamMap™ is modularly designed around the following key components:

  • Map Layers
  • Map Tile Source
  • Navigational panes
  • Color Swatch panes
  • Scale panes

By using maps in a widely available, de facto standard format such as Shapefiles (.shp) or drawn from OpenGIS standards-based SQL extensions for geospatial data such as those supported by Microsoft® SQL Server® 2008, you can get started right away. Create stunning Silverlight mapping applications for the Web from polygon-based shapes (lots, states, countries), polyline-based shapes (roads, rivers, transmission lines), point-based shapes (cities, points of interest), geometry and geography data, and tiled geo-imagery. Map layers allow you to overlay your own value-added map elements.

Key Features at a Glance

  • Map out anything and everything - With the explosive growth in business data tied to location, the new xamMap™ is an indispensible tool for creating rich mapping apps. Get an instant view and show anything including seating charts, floor plans, warehouse contents, and yes—geographic maps, too.
  • Geo-Imagery Support – Enable users to deep zoom into satellite, aerial, remote sensing, street map, or other kinds of tiled imagery from several popular service providers.
  • Customizable Layout - Design the layout of legends, the navigation pane and all other aspects of map layers and map elements to fit the application you are building.
  • Color Model - Comprehensive color model and choropleth shading enable you to fulfill many common mapping scenarios such as mapping US states and counties, color-coding regions by rainfall amount or any other business data and scaling colors to the data value range.
  • Geospatial Data Integration - Associate your own data sources (e.g., a .dbf file or Microsoft SQL Server 2008) with map elements. Geometry and geography data types are supported.
  • Shapefile Format - Take advantage of the wealth of geographic information already published by government agencies and other bodies and leverage your own organization's business data.

Much of today's business intelligence is geographically correlated, and the Silverlight Map control displays this information to your end users in a simple and easy-to-read fashion. Our Silverlight samples graze the surface of the world of opportunities your application has with the Silverlight Map control.
