 Drawing a large number of pushpins i'm using a faunction to draw a set of pushpins in this way: Code: foreach(DataRow dr in DataSet.Rows)
{
MapPoint.Location loc = this.mMap.GetLocation(Lat, Lon, 1);
MapPoint.Pushpin pushpin = this.mMap.AddPushpin(loc,"");
pushpin.Name = Name;
pushpin.MoveTo(SP);
}
The problem is that this drawing can be operated on large numbers of pushpins (7000-20000) and the time to wait is very long. Someone have solved this problem in other ways? Regards, Gianmaria         |

No. I have to wait for the code loop through all pins, too. Another one for the wish-list ... |

Hi, what if you just draw the pushpins in view ? It will take some calculations but not impossible...

Yes, it is this exactly. You could do it with a COM Add-in that would read all the data into a dataset. The COM Add-in would trigger whenever this is a map view change event. Above a certain Altitude it would not draw anything. You need to get the lat/lons of the corners of the currently visible map. Then query and say any lat/lons that fall in the extents of the map should be displayed. Note that since the earth is a sphere, it's not flat so the longitude (X coordinate) or the lower left will not be the same as the upper left. So for longitude, use whichever one is higher (or lower depending on your hemisphere). Do I have this right? What am I missing? I think it shouldn't take more than four hours to figure out and program.. the first thing I'm not sure of off the top of my head is how to get the coordinates of the corners but I seem to remember there being a solution posted for this. hope this gives you some ideas!
