Multiple Pushpins

Question

I am new to Silverlight and the Bing Maps Control. Have succeeded in loading map but one Pushpin appears when 2 are coded.

XAML as follows:

<UserControl x:Class="BristolMap.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:m="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl"
    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="640" d:DesignWidth="480">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <m:Map Name="Bris1" CredentialsProvider="My Creds" Center="51.450432, -2.525862" ZoomLevel="14"></m:Map>
        <m:Pushpin Name="Avalon" Location="51.450432,-2.525862" Background="Green" Content="Avalon" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Avalon Lane"></m:Pushpin>
        <m:Pushpin Name="Wick" Location="51.456357, -2.433805" Background="Orange" Content="Wick" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Milford Ave, Wick"></m:Pushpin>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>

When clicked I want to redirect to another aspx page.

With thanks

Concerning the 2 pushpins, you should see if the two are well positionned and if they are not overlaping each other.
Also try: http://www.microsoft.com/maps/isdk/silverlight/#MapControlInteractiveSdk.Tutorials.TutorialSimplePushpin

To open a new page while you click on a pushpin, you should bind the click event on the pushpin elements to do so.
Since it's a control in Silverlight, you can bind it from the code-behind or in the declaration.

Make sure the Pushpins are children of the Map in your XAML. Try moving the Map closing tag after the pushpins.

 <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <m:Map Name="Bris1" CredentialsProvider="My Creds" Center="51.450432, -2.525862" ZoomLevel="14">       

               <m:Pushpin Name="Avalon" Location="51.450432,-2.525862" Background="Green" Content="Avalon" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Avalon Lane"></m:Pushpin>
              <m:Pushpin Name="Wick" Location="51.456357, -2.433805" Background="Orange" Content="Wick" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Milford Ave, Wick"></m:Pushpin>

     </m:Map>
    </Grid>

Thanks for your suggestion. I have implemented what you suggest. My problem seems that the first Pushpin only comes up centered on the map (which is the same co-ordinates of the Centre).

<UserControl x:Class="BristolMap.MainPage"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/expression/blend/2008"
    xmlns:mc="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/markup-compatibility/2006"
    xmlns:m="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Maps.MapControl;assembly=Microsoft.Maps.MapControl"
    mc:Ignorable="d" d:DesignHeight="640" d:DesignWidth="480">
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White">
        <m:Map Name="Bris1" CredentialsProvider="My Credsl" Center="51.450432, -2.525862" ZoomLevel="14">
            <m:Pushpin Name="Avalon" Location="51.4509468078613, -2.52622008323669" Background="Green" Content="Avalon" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Avalon Lane"></m:Pushpin>
            <m:Pushpin Name="Wick" Location="51.455020904541, -2.43373799324036" Background="Orange" Content="Wick" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Milford Ave, Wick"></m:Pushpin>
        <m:Pushpin Name="Fishponds" Location="51.4741172790527, -2.49118208885193" Background="Blue" Content="Fishponds" ToolTipService.ToolTip="Station Road, Fishponds"></m:Pushpin>
        </m:Map>
    </Grid>
</UserControl>
