Custom Map Provider using the ImageProvider

[Sunil]

I am using the Q1 2011 release of RadControls for Silverlight and wish to create a custom Map Provider by using the ImageProvider.  I have worked with an earlier version using the mapBaseProvider and realized you have made some significant changes that should support a lot more gis scenarios. I am using a MapServer to generate my images and have not tiled the output, the server is configured as a WMS.  I have two requests:

1. Can I use the ImageProvider option to create a custom Map Provider that will be able to render the images generated by the MapServer wms ?

2. Can you provide me with links to source code examples or documentation ?

Thanks,

Sunil

Hello Sunil,

1. You can use the ImageProvider to create a custom Map Provider when you should display a single region for different zoom levels.
 
2. Unfortunately we don't have a sample code of this custom provider. You can build it using the following example for tiled provider: http://www.telerik.com/help/wpf/radmap-howto-custom-provider.html
But you should inherit ImageProvider and ImageMapSource classes instead of TiledProvider and TiledMapSource. Also you should override the ImageMapSource.GetImageSource method instead of GetTile.

Kind regards,
