I'm sure that the app works great in the US, but since its for Virtual Earth it should properly also work for the rest of us :)

The issue is with the parsing of doubles being returned from/passed to js - changing them to for example double.Parse(resultArray[0], System.Globalization.CultureInfo.InvariantCulture) will prevent from push pins being added at latitude 389544.

But this is a minor issue - and it is a great sample

love to see more development on this (or something similar)

a quick fix for the globalization issue is to add the following line as early as possible in your program

Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo( "en-US" );

you'll need to resolve some usings for that to work but you get the general idea :)

You did my day actually there is no other better aproach to a wraper that mimics the Silverlight VE control thanks

How would you add a custom push pin?

It would be much more convenient to see this done through the web services, but have not seen thing about doing so.

VEMap.Clear method is error.

An invalid VARIANT was detected during a conversion from an unmanaged VARIANT to a managed object. Passing invalid VARIANTs to the CLR can cause unexpected exceptions, corruption or data loss.

Is anybody getting this error. Did anything changed in Virtual Earth Map Control 6.2 API recently

I am facing the issue when I am trying to show pushpins as soon as the control is loaded rather than show pushpins or polyline on a button click event.

I tried even in the sample app by calling btnAddPushpins_Click in the end of Window1 contructor rather than on Add Pushpins button

and I got the VisualStudio Just-In-Time Debugger error for an Unhandled Win 32 exception('Launch for User') occured in WpfVirtualEarthControlTest.exe

Any help would be highly appreciated
