    Lambda woes with csc

    While helping with the development of our Tasks application I stumbled upon a strange compiler error. There was a lambda expression that was compiling just fine before I touched the file with the lambda and after changing a line inside the body of the lambda, the project suddenly stopped compiling. The error was, that it could not find an adequate overload of the method that accepted the lambda in question as an argument. The cause turned out to be very interesting(for me at least) and I think it is worth sharing. Consider that you have a function with two overloads that both accept...

    RadMap for Silverlight – How To Consume Tiles from Local Server

    Currently RadMap supports three built-in map providers: Bing Maps, Open Street Maps and Empty provider. The empty provider does not show any map tiles. It just provides spatial reference (projection) for other operations (i.e. KML or ESRI shape files). The Bing Maps and Open Street Map providers read their tile images from internet. Of course a browser can use these images from its cache, but the Bing Maps provider requires internet connection because it uses a WCF service to get URLs of the tile images. It is a common scenario that the map...
