Load WKT (polygon) in Windows form

Question

Hi,

Is is possible to load a polygon (in WKT format) inside a windows form control (e.g., panel)?  Or do I have to use Bing/Google API to do this?

Thanks for any advice.

Answer 1

Loading a polygon in WKT format is dead easy - it's just a simple text string.

If you mean how to display a polygon that has been loaded from text - embedding a Bing Maps control in the Windows Form is one option (although note that Bing/Google Maps don't directly support WKT - you'll have to covert to a Microsoft.Maps.Polygon instance first). Also check out libraries like http://sharpmap.codeplex.com
