Answered Bing maps client-side dynamic tile source

    Hi.

    I want to have a custom tile source to display about 500.000 lines on the map - and I want it to be a client-side (Silverlight app) source, don't want to use webservice tile source:

    1. client connects to my webservice, gets polylines' info from DB - simple db view: ID(int), WKT(geo as varchar)
    2. client generates all needed pngs showing lines, stored in client memory
    3.  how can I make a tile source that would use those pngs?

    TIA

    This can be done however it is extremely complicated to get it to work. What you might find easier to do is to create an image and overlay it as a custom UIElement rather than using tiles. You will not be able to use the TileLayer class locally.
