I'm creating a WebApp and trying to display more than 100 Pushpins at a time but get restricted by the default value of 100.
Is there a work around for this?

Yes - you will have to "paint" them manually on the map image. Here is what I do

1. Store all my pushpins in a collection
2. Get the bounding rectangle of all pushpins.
3. Render the map with just 100 pushpins but with map size determined in step 2.
4. When the map image is returned from web service, convert the remainder of pushpins to screen coordinates in terms of the picture returned.
5. Paint each pushpin on the map image using GDI drawing API.

I have done this 18000+ pushpins and it is fairly fast. One more thing I did was to use small filled in circles instead of pushpins just because they are easier to draw instead of the pushpin images ).

I forgot to mention that when you are converting geo-codes to screen coordinates, do so in chunks of 1000 instead of individually. This will make a ton of difference in the performance.

I finally got around to drawing pushpins instead of circles. Check put the attached JPEG.
