Map Suite Silverlight Edition

Note: The page was created before Map Suite 10. Map Suite 10.0 organized many classes into new namespaces and assemblies as well as had a few minor breaks in compatibility. The majority of previously built code should work without modification assuming the new namespaces are added. For guidance on upgrading your existing code, please check out MapSuite 10 Upgrade Guide.

Map Suite Silverlight Edition is a .NET native GIS software control that lets .NET developers add rich, interactive maps to their Silverlight-based Web applications. Now you can harness the full power of a professional GIS control in the sleek, next-generation interfaces of Microsoft Silverlight. This is not a slimmed-down control — it's full-featured GIS for Silverlight!
