Hello,
I have a local tile package file that has my basemap I can use in an offline application. A description of tile packages is given below:
http://resources.arcgis.com/en/help/runtime-wpf/concepts/index.html#/About_tile_packages/01700000004w000000/
Is it possible to have a custom map provider to be able to read this file and load it into the RadMap control? I did not find any existing examples doing this. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello Hafsa,
The RadMap control does not provide a reader for .tpk files. You can see the supported formats in the Reading Map Shapes help article. Also, the map's provider works with requests to a service which should return the tile as an image. If you want to use the file locally you can host a service on the localhost and give the file to the custom provider through this service. However, you should convert the .tpk file to images, otherwise the map won't read anything.
