World Map in XAML
September 24th, 2009
Following the great work Imran Shaik on creating world map in XAML (http://silverlight2.blogspot.com/2007/12/silverlight-world-map.html), I decided to improve it a bit:
- Every country is highlighted on mouse hover/out and can be selected
- All these properties can be customised from single style definitions in XAML and C# code behind
- Labels are added for each continent; these can potentially select all countries within certain continent
- Tooltips are added for countries within South America just for the demo purposes
You can see the demo Silverlight 3 website at:

The entire Visual Studio 2008 Silverlight 3 project can be downloaded from:
http://www.sgolubev.com/share/WorldMapInXaml/WorldMapInXaml.zip (~6Mb)
You will find a self-contained map user control which you can reuse in your projects. Please respect copyright rules specified on the Imran’s site. This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Licence.
