Ø Key Technologies：SL 2.0+Virtual Earth MapControl+MapChuncher+ADO.Net Data Service+LINQ To SQL+SL-Enabled WCF

Ø Typical adoption scenario:

ü Develop Virtual Earth Application with Customized Map in Silverlight 2.0，e.g Display customized map of GuangDong Province on Virtual Earth . (Refer Microsoft Virtual Earth- MapChuncher and VEMap .AddTileLayer Method )

ü When Zoom In/Out or Move around map using Mouse, we can customize the Virtual Earth Mouse Event such as OnMouseWheel/OnMouseMove Event to display specific range of map.

ü Draw Pushpin/Shape on the map for Saving & Fetching.

ü Interop between SL2.0 XAML control & Virtual Earth MapControl via HtmlPage.Window.Invoke method, e.g show/hide map Dashboard,Zoom Out/In.

ü Save Map Pushpin information to SQL2008 Geography spatial data type via LINQ to SQL and query the information via ADO.Net Data Services.

ü Virtual Earth SDK HTML Java Scripts call Silverlight Managed Code（Refer Walkthrough: Calling Managed Code from JavaScript）.

ü Silverlight Managed Code calls Silverlight-Enabled的WCF Service. (Refer Service-Driven Apps With Silverlight 2 And WCF )
