How do I generate a heat map for the world based on my data

[Kevin]

The example code uses a generated dbf file, but I need to get data at runtime based, for example "hugs per captia".

I get NaN in the legend when I tried the following code:

public partial class Example : UserControl
    {
        private bool initialized;
        private const string NonDbfDataField = "HugsPerCapita";

        public Example()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            this.RadMap1.InitializeCompleted += new EventHandler(RadMap1_InitializeCompleted);
        }

        void RadMap1_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            if (!this.initialized)
            {
                this.initialized = true;
                this.InformationLayer.Reader.PreviewReadCompleted += new PreviewReadShapesCompletedEventHandler(Reader_PreviewReadCompleted);
            }
        }

        private void Reader_PreviewReadCompleted(object sender, PreviewReadShapesCompletedEventArgs eventArgs)
        {
            if (eventArgs.Error == null)
            {
                foreach (MapShape shape in eventArgs.Items)
                {
                    this.SetAdditionalData(shape);
                }
            }
        }

        private void SetAdditionalData(MapShape shape)
        {
            ExtendedData extendedData = shape.ExtendedData;
            if (extendedData != null)
            {
                // add new property to ExtendedData
                if (!extendedData.PropertySet.ContainsKey(NonDbfDataField))
                {
                    extendedData.PropertySet.RegisterProperty(NonDbfDataField, "", typeof(int), 0);
                }

                string country = (string)shape.ExtendedData.GetValue("ISO_2DIGIT");
                int additionalFieldValue = this.GetHugsByCountry(country);

                // assign value to new property
                shape.ExtendedData.SetValue(NonDbfDataField, additionalFieldValue);

            }
        }

        private int GetHugsByCountry(string stateName)
        {
            return 43 ;
        }



    }

Sorry,  wrong forum.  Admins please lock or delete.  Re-posted in Silverlight -> Map

Hello Kevin,

You didn't provide your XAML, but as I can suppose looking into your code you specify source to the reader in XAML. If it is so, then reader will start (and actually finish) reading of the shape file BEFORE you assign event handler to the PreviewReadCompleted event. It occurs when WPF process XAML and set Source property to reader. As result your application never come into it. You should assign event handler in XAML or initialize reader in the code completely.

Solution for XAML:

<telerik:InformationLayer.Reader>
    <telerik:MapShapeReader Source="/ExtendedData;component/world.shp" PreviewReadCompleted="MapPreviewReadCompleted" />
</telerik:InformationLayer.Reader>

Solution for code behind:

public MainWindow()
{
    InitializeComponent();
    MapShapeReader reader = new MapShapeReader();
    reader.PreviewReadCompleted += new PreviewReadShapesCompletedEventHandler(this.MapPreviewReadCompleted);
    this.informationLayer.Reader = reader;
    this.radMap.InitializeCompleted += new EventHandler(radMap_InitializeCompleted);
}
private void radMap_InitializeCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.informationLayer.Reader.Source = new Uri("/ExtendedData;component/world.shp", UriKind.RelativeOrAbsolute);
}
