MapEllipse center from Code Behind

[Ohad]

I would like to create a MapEllipse from Code Behind using values that I have stored.

But the property Center only has a get method.

How can I determine the Center of the MapEllipse from Code Behind?

 

 

var mapEllipse = new MapEllipse();
mapEllipse.Width = mapEllipse.Height = 50;
mapEllipse.Fill = Brushes.Yellow;
mapEllipse.Opacity = 0.2;
mapEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Red;
mapEllipse.StrokeThickness = 2;
//mapEllipse.Center = ?

 

Thanks

Hello Ohad,

Thank you for the provided code snippet.

Instead of the Center property, you need to set the Location property of the MapEllipse in this case. As mentioned in the Map Shapes article, the top left corner coincides with the given location. In order to position the rectangle otherwise (centrally, for example) you might want to use the HotSpot feature.

            var mapEllipse = new MapEllipse();
            mapEllipse.Width = mapEllipse.Height = 50;
            mapEllipse.Fill = Brushes.Yellow;
            mapEllipse.Opacity = 0.2;
            mapEllipse.Stroke = Brushes.Red;
            mapEllipse.StrokeThickness = 2;
            mapEllipse.Location = new Location(42.6957539183824, 23.3327663758679);
            MapLayer.SetHotSpot(mapEllipse, new HotSpot() { X = 0.5, Y = 0.5 });

I've gone ahead and set up a small sample project to demonstrate this in action. Please have a look and let me know if the same approach works in your original application.
