Bind Shape File with no background content
posted

Hi

In the silver light version of the IgMap Control you could bind a shape file on its own to get a seating plan for an airliner, its was in one of the demos, i have a shape file of the parking lot at our storage depot, and want to use this shape file instead of the background content in the IgMap control to display just the parking lot, is this possible and if not when can we see some kind of functionality to display custom background content using shape files?

Regards

Andrew

    Hi, Andrew

    You can just set the backgroundContent option to null and no background will be rendered in the igMap control.

    Regarding the custom background content using shape files, you can simply bind your shape file with the parking lot to a shape series. Then you can add another shape, symbol, or other geographic series to display other data. This way your data will be rendered "over" the custom background from the first shape series, and you will get this functionality.
