Map - Icon Url

Run Demo: Map Markers

#Create Icons Dynamically

You can use Data URLs to generate SVG images dynamically. The following code sample rotates the marker icon to point at the next marker.

razor
<DxMap ControlsVisible="true"
       Zoom="14"
       Provider="MapProvider.Azure"
       Width="100%"
       Height="600px">
    <DxMapApiKeys Azure="@MapApiKeyProvider.GetAzureProviderKey()" />
    <DxMapMarkers>
        @foreach (MarkerInfo markerInfo in Markers) {
            string url = GetIcon(markerInfo.RotationAngle);
            string geoPosition = $"{markerInfo.GeoPositionX} {markerInfo.GeoPositionY}";
            <DxMapMarker IconUrl="@url">
                <DxMapMarkerLocation GeoPosition="@geoPosition" />
                <DxMapMarkerTooltip Text="@markerInfo.Text" />
            </DxMapMarker>
        }
    </DxMapMarkers>
</DxMap>

@code {
    List<MarkerInfo> Markers = new List<MarkerInfo> {
        new MarkerInfo {Id = 1, GeoPositionX = 51.50585, GeoPositionY = -0.08687, RotationAngle = 110, Text = "London Bridge"},
        new MarkerInfo {Id = 2, GeoPositionX = 51.50485, GeoPositionY = -0.08374, RotationAngle = 90, Text = "Point 2"},
        new MarkerInfo {Id = 3, GeoPositionX = 51.50501, GeoPositionY = -0.07842, RotationAngle = 120, Text = "Queen Walk"},
        new MarkerInfo {Id = 4, GeoPositionX = 51.50434, GeoPositionY = -0.07611, RotationAngle = 30, Text = "Tower Bridge"}
    };
    string GetIcon(int angle) {
        string svgTemplate = 
            @"<svg xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"" width=""26"" height=""26"" viewBox=""0 0 30 30"">

            </svg>";
        string svgContent = string.Format(svgTemplate, angle);
        string urlEncodedSvg = Uri.EscapeDataString(svgContent);
        string dataUrl = $"data:image/svg+xml,{urlEncodedSvg}";
        return dataUrl;
    }
    public class MarkerInfo {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public double GeoPositionX { get; set; }
        public double GeoPositionY { get; set; }
        public string Text { get; set; }
        public int RotationAngle { get; set; }
