Help with URI

[Steve]

Hello everyone,

Quite new to all of this, so I'm hoping someone can nudge me in the right direction.  I'm trying to load a KML file, but I can't seem to get my head around the URI part.  Can someone provide me with an idiot-proof example?  For instance, if I have a project called "Map_Test" and within that project I have a folder called "Recources" and within that folder I have a file called "doc.kml", what would be the uri?

This is what I tried and I get the message that "Cannot locate resource 'Map_Test;resources/doc.kml'.

Any help is greatly appreciated.  Here is my code:

Private Sub LoadKMLData() 
    Dim streamResource As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("pack://application:,,,/Map_Test;Resources/doc.kml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) 
    Dim elements As List(Of FrameworkElement) = KmlReader.Read(streamResource.Stream) 
    For Each element As FrameworkElement In elements 
        Me.informationLayer.Items.Add(element) 
    Next element 
End Sub





Also tried this with no luck either.  Gives me a "Cannot locate resouce 'doc.kml':





Dim streamResource As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("/Map_Test;component/Resources/doc.kml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) 
' Dim streamResource As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("doc.kml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute)) 
Dim elements As List(Of FrameworkElement) = KmlReader.Read(streamResource.Stream) 
For Each element As FrameworkElement In elements 
    Me.informationLayer.Items.Add(element) 
Next element

Hello Steve,

First of all, I would recommend you to take a look into this article in MSDN:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/aa970069.aspx

The URI for the resource file located in the Resources folder of the Map_Test project should look like the following:

"pack://application:,,,/Map_Test;component/Resources/doc.kml"
or
"/Map_Test;component/Resources/doc.kml"

Also you've forgot the 'component' world in the URI.

Best wishes,

Hello Andrey,

Still no luck!  Here's my xaml:

<Window x:Class="MainWindow"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    Title="MainWindow" Height="350" Width="525" xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation">
    <Grid>
        <telerik:RadMap Height="208" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="38,20,0,0" Name="RadMap1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="316">
            <telerik:InformationLayer x:Name="informationLayer" />
        </telerik:RadMap>
        <Button Content="Button" Height="23" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="426,249,0,0" Name="Button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="75" />
    </Grid>
</Window>

Here is my vb:

Imports System.Windows.Resources
Imports Telerik.Windows.Controls.Map

Class MainWindow

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.RoutedEventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Me.RadMap1.Provider = New BingMapProvider(MapMode.Road, True, "AlZ0xl0gPk3tLAXRH7oaYQk2buRQ62MKNPGpZG0YoJTc5TRRk0IkluRm_3zSqK7f")
        LoadKMLData()
    End Sub
    Private Sub LoadKMLData()
        Dim streamResource As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("/Map_Test;component/Resources/doc.kml", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute))
        Dim elements As List(Of FrameworkElement) = KmlReader.Read(streamResource.Stream)
        For Each element As FrameworkElement In elements
            Me.informationLayer.Items.Add(element)
        Next element
    End Sub

Two issues:

1) No bing map shows up.  I've confirmed the key is correct
2) Still getting the Cannot locate resource 'resouces/doc.kml' message.  I've confirmed that the kml file is in the following path:

 

C:\...\Documents\visual studio 2010\Projects\Map_Test\Map_Test\Resources

I've followed the instructions here: http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radmap-features-kml-data-import.html to see if the Reading KML files with RadMaps works and I'm not getting an option for Reader.Source.  I just get SetCurrentValue and .SetValue. 

I'm sure it's user error, but following the instructions in the help section and what you've posted below I still can't seem to sort it out. 

Any ideas?

Hello Steve,

First of all you should be sure that your kml-file is included to your project as Resource:
1. Select doc.kml in the solution explorer.
2. Go to the "Properties" window.
3. Check that "Build Action" set to "Resource".

If the problem still persists, then please send us your runnable solution for detail analysis.

All the best,

Thanks Andrey, that took care of issue #2, where I was getting the resouce not found.  I'm not getting an image to come up though.  I think there's some communcation issue between me and bing maps as no map is displayed (and there is no error either).

Using Open Street Map works, but trying to set the mapmode results in an error (Too many arguements to 'Public Sub New()').  Here's the code I'm using:

        Dim provider As New OpenStreetMapProvider(MapMode.Road, True)
        Me.RadMap1.Provider = provider

[Steve]

Maybe OpenStreetMaps doesn't have a .road option.  Eitherway, I think the matter is closed.  Thanks for all your help!
