web services - Best way to update Locations dynamically in Bing Maps using Silverlight? -
i'm developing test application in need to:
a) draw paths downloaded data. have rest/json server whith these data , little app can consume without problem. paths downloaded once , that's all.
b) draw pushpins, circles, whatever @ locations locations can change in real-time. silverlight app must ask rest server updates in these points in order update shapes in map. rest provides "last know position" default, location want display dynamically.
my question is: simplest way achieve b)? i'm quite rookie @ silverlight, don´t know if has 'automatic-obvious' way automatic update. need 'timer' consume service, local list of locations , bindings between shapes , these locations?
thank in advance!
i you're on right track.
i create observablecollection
of data model represents locations, , bind bing mapcontrol. create datatemplate
(probably based on pushpin
) visually represent how want data point on map. paths can created mappolyline
s
since you're communicating rest server, think best option updating points have timer object mentioned, , perform call update observablecollection
every time fires.
hope helps!
