Item Template Binding to Longitude/Latitude

[Mark Jakes]

Hello

I have a collection from RIA services that has a Longitude and Latitude values stored as doubles in each entity.

I am trying to bind these values in an InformationLayer.ItemTemplate but without much success.

<telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
 <DataTemplate>
   <Grid Width="20" Height="29">
      <telerik:MapLayer.Location>
         <telerik:Location>
            <telerik:Location.Latitude="{Binding Asset_Latitude}"/>
            <telerik:Location.Longitude="{Binding Asset_Longitude}"/>
         </telerik:Location>
         </telerik:MapLayer.Location>
   etc.
    </Grid>
 </DataTemplate>
</telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>

Can you help me with the syntax for this please, if it is possble.

I know I could create a converter but I want to keep my code tight and pass the entity collection straight to the InformationLayer, ideally.

Many thanks

Mark.

Hi Mark Jakes,

You can use the DataMappings feature for binding latitude and longitude to the data template. For more information you can take a look to the following documentation topic:
http://www.telerik.com/help/silverlight/radmap-features-data-binding.html
The sample code is below:

<telerik:InformationLayer x:Name="informationLayer">
    <telerik:InformationLayer.DataMappings>
        <telerik:DataMapping FieldName="Asset_Latitude" ValueMember="Latitude" />
        <telerik:DataMapping FieldName="Asset_Longitude" ValueMember="Longitude" />
    </telerik:InformationLayer.DataMappings>
    <telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
        <DataTemplate>
            <Grid>
                <telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot>
                    <telerik:HotSpot ElementName="path" X="0.5" Y="0.5" XUnits="Fraction" YUnits="Fraction" />
                </telerik:MapLayer.HotSpot>
                <Ellipse Width="20" Height="20"
                         Fill="Brown"
                         StrokeThickness="3"
                         Stroke="Yellow" />
            </Grid>
        </DataTemplate>
    </telerik:InformationLayer.ItemTemplate>
</telerik:InformationLayer>
