Greetings readers I promised you in my previous post that I am gonna go a little bit deeper in the Bing map control and I will should more advanced scenarios and one is push pins, Basically I am going to tell you how you can add push pin to your map and also how to dynamically populate those push pins using binding Refer to my previous article Using bing maps part one  for more details cause I am going build on it so if you ever feel that you don’t understand something just click the link and spend a few minutes reading it, I promise you it will prove worthy. First lets add a normal push pin to our map  < Grid Background = " {StaticResource ApplicationPageBackgroundThemeBrush} " > < bm : Map x:Name = " MyMap " Width = " 640 " Height = " 480 " Credentials = " {StaticResource BingMapsApiKey} " > < bm : Map.Children > < bm : Pushpin x:Name = ...

This is a briefing article on how to start using Bing map control using XAML & C#, to begin with you must first follow a set of instruction to get a license key for using Bing maps. Lets talk first about bing maps and the map control Bing map control is a part of the Bing SDK for windows 8 modern style apps About the SDK as Microsoft says : Bing Maps SDK for Metro style apps (RTM Beta)   combines the power of Windows 8 and   Bing Maps ™ to provide an enhanced mapping experience for modern style apps. Developers can use this Bing Maps control to incorporate the latest road maps and aerial views into a Windows 8 Metro style app. This SDK includes controls for apps built using JavaScript, as well as apps built using C#, C++, and Visual Basic, and requires a   Bing Maps Key   for a Windows Metro style app. (If you have an existing “Metro style apps (BETA)” key, it will still work until the evaluation period expires.) Now lets get started and here...

Open visual studio and click new Project and choose a console application and name it Ninject.Console you should have your solution like that Now lets get the Ninject, I prefer Nuget If you don’t have it installed get it from here http://nuget.codeplex.com/releases or you can search for it in the VS extensions Tools->Extension manager. Open Nuget by right clicking the reference folder in the solution and click manager nugget packages and then search for Ninject and click install Package see screen shot below Configuration part Depending on the type of you app you need to set the configuration cause they must take place at the starting of the app, and since we are in a console application then the most convenient place is the program.cs. there we must create our standard kernel which is the handler which does all the binding. Binding is the operation of registering a type to its interface “will be explained by code later” So for now we need to create a st...

Intro This article is a follow-up to its predecessor Introduction to IOC AKA IOC Part 1, basically I am have chosen a dependency injection container that I have been acquainted with for some time now and I will be going in deep on how it works and how we can use it in a real life application. First – Know Ninject It is a dependency injection container that is used to separate application parts to be more loosely coupled, highly maintainable and then weirs them back with each other flexibly, so in Short it does IOC “you can check the previous article if you need more of understanding on what IOC really is here is the link  http://mohammedezzatawad.blogspot.com/2012/08/ioc-inversion-of-control-principle.html ” Second – How it works So that’s a good and a very important thing you need to know before using any framework, how does it work and to be precise the question you need to ask yourself is what is going on under the hood?, well as most of the Dependency Injection c...
