hi all,

im using a local text file as a data source file for my pushpins. i link to the file and retrieve all my pushpins but each pushpin only display the name of the person and the address. i would like to display the telephone number along side the above details. is there any type of setting or property that can be used to do so?

any help, support, examples would be very much appreciated ...

thank you all

Judge -- when you link the data, you will get to a place in the Wizards where you can set this, exactly what you're looking for...

When you get to Map Type, I assume you go to Pushpin. Then you can "Select which fields to display in the balloon for this set".

Finally make sure "Display selected field names in balloons" is checked.

hope this helps,
Eric

Oh sorry.. did you try this method? from the help file... (below). I don't know the syntax for C#, but there are some C#-related code samples in this forum and articles that may have some pointers, this one comes to mind:
