Example

How to: Generate Polylines from a Data Source

This example demonstrates how to generate map polylines based on data source objects and how to display these polylines on a vector layer.

A map with two polylines

  1. Create a ListSourceDataAdapter object and assign it to the VectorLayer.Data property.

  2. Specify the adapter’s DataSource property.

  3. Create a MapMultipointItemMappingInfo object and assign it to the adapter’s Mappings property.

  4. Map the following properties to data source fields:

    • Points – Specifies a data source field that contains polyline points.
    • Latitude – Specifies a data field that contains point latitudes. (Use the YCoordinate property for Cartesian coordinate systems.)
    • Longitude – Specifies a data field that contains point longitudes. (Use the XCoordinate property for Cartesian coordinate systems.)
  5. To specify the type of created map items, assign the appropriate settings to the ListSourceDataAdapter.ItemSettings property. In this example, use MapPolylineSettings to draw polylines.
