I am binding my LocationBox to a List from a web service. I need to cast the value coming from the selecteditem to a Location object, how can I do this programatically? Right now I have a Name field and a Location field, the locationfield is long and lat.

Thanks!
Sam

I tried to set the RadMap location programatically like this, but it doesn't work the map doesn't even show up.

    
                            Location loc = new Location(); 
        
                            string strLongitude = "-96.193542"; 
        
                            double longitude = double.Parse(strLongitude); 
        
                            loc.Longitude = longitude; 
        
                            string strLatitude = "41.287576"; 
        
                            double latitude = double.Parse(strLatitude); 
        
                            loc.Latitude = latitude; 
        
                            loc.Description = "Elkhorn Ne"; 
        
                            RadMap1.Center = loc;

I think it has to do with the mapNameSpace tags, I need to dynamically add mapNameSpace tags in a list box from a web service. I tried to add them in a datatemplate but I got a XAML error. My entire application depends on this functionality. I need to generate these tags:

    
             <ListBox x:Name="LocationBox" DisplayMemberPath="Description" SelectionChanged="LocationBox_SelectionChanged" ItemContainerStyle="{StaticResource lv-ListBoxItem}" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Transparent"> 
        
                            <mapNamespace:Location Description="All" Latitude="42.358431" Longitude="-71.059773"/> 
        
                            <mapNamespace:Location Description="Bob Miller" Latitude="29.763284" Longitude="-95.363272"/> 
        
                            <mapNamespace:Location Description="Jim Simpson" Latitude="48.139126" Longitude="11.580186"/> 
        
                            <mapNamespace:Location Description="Tom Larson" Latitude="29.763284" Longitude="-95.363272"/> 
        
                        </ListBox>

Thanks!
