Hi all,

I am just beginning to work on Flex after working on ArcGIS Explorer for a while. We used KML to publish point data from a table in SQL database on ArcGIS Explorer. I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction as to what would be a better solution for flex or web apps.

The database tables have coordinates info and pop-up info for any record. Is kml a the way to go for or should we look at something else which could be faster to load.

Thanks,
Divya

You might consider publishing your point data as georss...  Check out the georss sample.

Also we have a lot of huge datasets which get updated pretty frequently. Creating a map services out for all 100 different datasets(with over 200,000 records each) becomes a difficult task. Hence building KML on the fly, seemed like an easier option then.

Not sure if that was the best idea.
