Data Retrieval & Display Problem

YilinGan — Tue, 04 Jan 2011 01:01:26 GMT

Hi all,

I want to display school symbols onto my map without hard-coding it out by typing default coordinates. Instead I would like to retrieve the data from my MS Access database.

But now I'm not too sure on how to go about retrieving the data can anyone here give me a tip or two? Thanks!

This is the WCF service I added

public List<School> SchoolList()
        {
            string nwConn = System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.ConnectionString    ["SchoolsConnectionString"].ConnectionString;
            var SchoolList = new List<School>();
            using (SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(nwConn))
            {
                const string sql = @"SELECT TOP X, Y FROM School";
                conn.Open();
                using (SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn))
                {
                    SqlDataReader dr = cmd.ExecuteReader(
                        CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
                    if (dr != null)
                        while (dr.Read())
                        {
                            var School = new School
                            {
                                X = dr.GetString(0),
                                Y = dr.GetString(1),
                            };
                            SchoolList.Add(School);
                        }
                    return SchoolList;
                }
            }
        }

{
    public class School
    {
        public string SCHOOLNAME        { get; set; }
        public string ADDRESS           { get; set; }
        public string DESCRIPTION       { get; set; }
        public string HYPERLINK         { get; set; }
        public string X                 { get; set; }
        public string Y                 { get; set; }
        public string ADDRESSPOSTALCODE { get; set; }
        public string ICON_NAME         { get; set; }
        public string Field1            { get; set; }

    }
}

XAML

void AddMarkerGraphics()
        {
            string jsonCoordinateString = "{'Coordinates':[{'X':24537.8865980018,'Y':34796.6839838},{'X':29277.21841791546,'Y':37429.082965709928},{'X':23571.9250473287,'Y':47017.103190500377}]}";
            CustomCoordinateList coordinateList = DeserializeJson<CustomCoordinateList>(jsonCoordinateString);

            GraphicsLayer graphicsLayer = MyMap.Layers["MyGraphicsLayer"] as GraphicsLayer;

            for (int i = 0; i < coordinateList.Coordinates.Count; i++)
            {
                Graphic graphic = new Graphic()
                    {
                        Geometry = new MapPoint(coordinateList.Coordinates.X, coordinateList.Coordinates.Y),
                        Symbol = i > 0 ? RedMarkerSymbol : RedMarkerSymbol
                    };
                graphicsLayer.Graphics.Add(graphic);
            }
        }
