Hello all,
I'm a little new to Silverlight and I'm currently developing an application that will display a list of devices on a "floor map" by selecting floors in a building.
I've been trying so far with approaches like canvas, fixed-size grids but all come with some pitfalls. Finally, I discovered the map control here and I thought I should ask more experienced people what would be the best way to go for this.
The following functionalities should be supported:
Can I use the Map control for this or is it overkill ? I don't actually use any geographical information, the floor maps will be just some jpegs provided by the customer, but the other map features like panning, zooming, location pins etc. look interesting.
Any input will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Alex

The following functionalities should be supported:
- devices (items) are draggable around the map
- setting a background image of the actual floor plan
- clicking on a device will bring up a bubble with detailed information
- zoom in/out
