Silverlight Applies To: WindowsPhone Silverlight	In this Silverlight-based project, we demonstrate the best practices for rendering and querying data that resides on the server or the client. The Map Suite Silverlight Edition provides the developer with many different options on where and how to render your map data. This sample renders one shapefile(airports) on the client side and another shapefile(counties) on the server side. Querying the client-side airport data is very simple and the coding is very similar to the desktop, WPF or WebEditions. Querying the server-side county data is a little more involved and requires the client to communicate back to the server side using a WCF service. This sample presents the developer with a ready to use sample that demonstrates both methods. You can also check out Part 1 and Part 2 of the video which provides a brief summary of this sample.

In order to have the bitmap georeferenced or being tied to the ground an accompanying world file needs to be created. That way it can be used as an image layer along with the other layers of the same projection (in this case geodetic). To test the result, you can load the bitmap to Map Suite Explorer and add a vector layer in geodetic to see how the two layers align with each other.

Web Applies To: WindowsPhone Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	In today’s Web project, we learn how to extend ScaleBarAdornmentLayer to create a custom scale bar that is based on a projection of choice instead of the projection of the map. This can be useful when the displayed projection of the map has highly distortable distances especially at high latitudes such as Spherical Mercator (used by Google Map, Virtual Earth, Yahoo maps etc). Using a scale bar based on distance geometry of the Geodetic (WGS84) projection will give a more accurate result. Note that the CustomScaleBar class is based on MapSuiteCore and can be used in any other versions of MapSuite such as Desktop.

	C# Download Need it in another language?	Desktop Applies To: WindowsPhone Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	This sample shows how you can suppress and draw exceptions in desktop overlays instead of throwing them. There is a little-known feature in the Map Suite Desktop Edition Overlay class that allows you to draw an exception in the event an exception is thrown during the drawing process. We have a default image we draw in this case; however, you can override this using the DrawExceptionCore method and draw whatever you want. By default we always throw expections, but to start drawing them you can use the Overlay.DrawExceptionMode property.

Using an MDI form with a map background can represent a challenge. You will see in this project the technique to display properly a child form on top of the map. You can also notice how the map is accessed from the child form by plotting points on it from the child form.

Services Applies To: WindowsPhone Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	Today’s project is comparable to “Current Extent to Bitmap” project where we learned how to convert the current extent of the map to bitmap with its accompanying world file. Here we learn how to get the bitmap of a raster layer (in our example a Mr Sid image) and convert it to bitmap. We learn some techniques such as how to get the image size of the raster layer using ExtentHelper static functions and how to manipulate GeoImage. This project brings a good foundation for building applications converting different image formats.

Services Applies To: WindowsPhone Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	In today’s project we learn how to display a simple legend using the new and improved LegendAdornmentLayer. The improved LegendAdornmentLayer is new to the MapSuite 5.0 release and provides an easy to use api for creating legend adornments. The LegendAdornmentLayer is part of MapSuite.Core which gives all MapSuite products access to this powerful new feature.

	C# Download Need it in another language?	Web Applies To: WindowsPhone Desktop Web Silverlight Services Wpf	This project demonstrates how to create a web-based map using Microsoft ASP.NET MVC 1.0 and Map Suite Web Edition. To meet the requirements of MVC, we inherit the interface IMapInitializer in the controller, which has a function InitializeMap that is overridden in the controller. We then implement the class "MapInitializerHelper" to initialize the map instance.

Silverlight Applies To: WindowsPhone Silverlight	In this Silverlight-based project, we demonstrate how to implement a custom Overlay inherited from Overlay to add a progress bar indicator while a layer is rendering. The project is simple and meant to show only the basic logic; to extend it, you could add some other information or a loading image instead of a progress bar.
