Hi I'm not sure I'm using the KML layer correctly... i tried a simple example.. but can't seems to render anything on the map..

<esri:Map WrapAround="True" x:Name="MyMap">
            <esri:ArcGISTiledMapServiceLayer ID="MyLayer" Url="http://services.arcgisonline.com/ArcGIS/rest/services/World_Street_Map/MapServer" />
            <esri:KmlLayer ID="KmlLayer" Url="C:\Users\user\Desktop\GVPWorldVolcanoes.kml"/>
</esri:Map>

the kml is just this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<kml xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:gx="http://www.google.com/kml/ext/2.2" xmlns:kml="http://www.opengis.net/kml/2.2" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<NetworkLink>

 <Snippet maxLines="0"></Snippet>

</kml>

it opens in Google Earth fine.. downloading the data from http://www.volcano.si.edu/ge/GVPWorldVolcanoes-List.kmz. is this supported in the new V2.3?

thanks for the reply but ArcGIS Explorer loads the KML just fine... so I assume that we have the same  level of compatibility in ArcGIS products....
