Hi,
Am working on a Silverlight project using the Rad Map control which is hosted in to SharePoint. And I have a requirement that when I check a checkbox, I have to get the path of a kml file on the server and bind it to the information layer of my Rad Map. Since it is an InBrowser application, I do not have access to local disk from Silverlight. So I want to read the file from the server and create a byte array in the memory. So, is there a way that I can assign a byte array as source to an Information layer of the RadMap control. If so, can you gimme an example how I can achieve it or if there is a better way to accomplish the task.
Thanks,
Viddy.

Hello Vidyadhar,
The MapShapeReader allows to use the URI type as Source Property only. It allows to read the kml-file from assembly resource as well as from the web site. So, you can just specify a URI to the kml-file on the server. For example if your kml-file is in the root of your site, then you can specify the Source property like following:

<telerik:MapShapeReader Source="myGeospatial.kml" />Also there is the KmlReader class in the map control. It allows to read the kml from a stream or from a string. For more information please take a look at the Manual Shape Reading topic of our online documentation using the following link:
