Adding Image as Marker

In This Topic

If you want to show images as markers on a map, you need to use C1.Win.Map.MarkerImageShape class that represents a custom marker shape. The following code can be used to add an image as a marker on a map:

Visual Basic
C#

Visual Basic

Dim vl = New C1.Win.Map.VectorLayer()
C1Map1.Layers.Add(vl)

Dim placemark = New C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark()
placemark.Geometry = New GeoPoint(70, 60)
vl.Items.Add(placemark)

' needs set the Shape to MarkerShape.Custom first.
placemark.Marker.Shape = MarkerShape.[Custom]
placemark.Marker.Size = New SizeF(40, 40)

' then set the CustomShape
Dim shape = New MarkerImageShape()
placemark.Marker.CustomShape = shape

shape.Image = Image.FromFile("../../office.png")

var vl = new C1.Win.Map.VectorLayer();
c1Map1.Layers.Add(vl);

var placemark = new C1.Win.Map.VectorPlacemark();
placemark.Geometry = new GeoPoint(70, 60);
vl.Items.Add(placemark);

// needs set the Shape to MarkerShape.Custom first.
placemark.Marker.Shape = MarkerShape.Custom;
placemark.Marker.Size = new SizeF(40, 40);

// then set the CustomShape
var shape = new MarkerImageShape();
placemark.Marker.CustomShape = shape;

shape.Image = Image.FromFile("office.png");

The map with an image as a marker will look similar to the image given below.
