Insert User Control as graphic or annotation at a given MapPoint

Question

Hi Guys.

If I create a user control that contains, say, a panel with a text box and some text, is it possible to insert it into a Map control at a specific point dictated by a MapPoint (or extracted XYs)?

Basically, I want the user to be able to click a point graphic and have a popup show up next to it with information and then close it when they click the point again.  A MapTip would not work in this case.

Thanks
Ernie

Looks like the have the info window created at design time and then just move it around at run time. That would be ok but I would like to be able to draw more then one at a time.

You are right. In this case, you likely need an element layer that can contain any UI elements.

Thanks Dominique.  That could work but that sample shows that only one can be drawn at a time.  Looks like the have the info window created at design time and then just move it around at run time.  That would be ok but I would like to be able to draw more then one at a time.  It would be better if I could somehow insert an object a run time over and over again based on a user control.  Looks like I will ahve to fool around with a bunch of graphic entities to get it to work.

The InfoWindow is likely what you need.
Look at this sample : http://help.arcgis.com/en/webapi/silverlight/samples/start.htm#InfoWindowSimple when you click outside of US you get a panel with X,Y coordinates.
