KML iconstyle

[jtby]

From the examples I can load a KML file to an informationlayer like this:

Dim streamResource As StreamResourceInfo = Application.GetResourceStream(New Uri("/MyApp;component/Resources/bulgaria.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

... however in your Bulgaria.kml example I notice this:

<Icon>

<href>http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/kml/shapes/placemark_circle.png</href>

</Icon>

... how can I change it so that placemark_circle.png is local, and does not require google?  When I copy the .png file to a local location, no value for the icon href works for adding to the information layer.  Do you have any suggestions?

Hi John,

You can add an icon to the project as a resource. And then you can use it in kml-file like the following:

<Icon>
    <href>pack://application:,,,/MyApp;component/Resources/placemark_circle.png</href>
</Icon>

Please give this approach a try and let us know if it helps.
