Rendering Polygons from SQL Server 2008 on Virtual Earth

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?

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