I have promised in my previous post about XAML World Map, it is finally here. Boy it took more time than I thought it would, and it was painstakingly boring, well it is finally here and I have a sample application in Silverlight 1.1 alpha (using VB.NET) how to use the world map.
Few Facts about this XAML World Map
-
Map not for Scale
-
More than 150 countries are included.
-
Each country is held by a canvas, and each child of the canvas is a path.
-
Non-populated or relatively small countries are not included.
-
I have tried my best to be accurate with country names, if there are any mistakes I would update it if brought to my notice.
-
Country canvas's are named by ISO 3166 Country Codes standards, but since ("is", "in", "do" are reserved words other codes are used).

Usage in Silverlight
The supported countries are loaded in an Array to create dynamic events on MouseLeftButtonUp, this is to avoid the long Handles phrase. You can build your own application using this canvas, I didn't include Zoom/Scroll options because I just wanted to provide XAML and to show how to use the XAML from Silverlight.
I'll update this source code with more information (e.g., area, country, flag etc.) using LINQ/VB XML functions after Silverlight 2.0 Beta is released.
