Message I'm interested in leveraging the Google Maps Data API ... http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/mapsdata/

... but I don't see any support for KML in silverlight.

libkml is written in C++, with no signs of a SWIG wrapper for C# (hey google, benign neglect== evil)
http://code.google.com/p/libkml/issues/detail?id=16

Since ArcGIS Explorer supports KML, it seems like ESRI could do the same for silverlight. To do it right though, I guess a KML-XAML translator would be needed so maybe this is something microsoft should do.

PS: seems like MS would have to be working on this already as part of their Virtual Earth SL control.

Message Hi Morten -

I don't see KML support in build 255. Are there any plans to add it?

Thanks, Kirk
