Marc Schweigert builds off of the concepts shown in his previous screencast and shows you how to render a polygon on a Virtual Earth map using REST, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), LINQ to SQL, and the new geography data type in SQL Server 2008.

A big thanks to Eugenio Pace for letting me use it as part of my sample!

insanely complicated. Microsoft will hopefully address a simpler method for drawing polygons from SQL, in future releases of the VE control. Why not just make the Geography object readable by the .Net framework for use in VE?

Love the capability. What kind of effort is it to change ap from WCF to web ? any guidance on this? Appreciate any help.

Technology never ended, such shown in this article where SQL2008 has been around for a while and show the better funtionality from previous version

can you format polygons (ex. line width, line colour, back colour) through georss?

Very impressive. Hopefully the hardware can keep up with this.
