How can I use shapefile(.shp) with bing maps without using any third party reference? I just want to use bing maps api library to perform this action. So suggest me how can i achieve this?
I have tried something with bing maps which is described below.. Here is my code :
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: "GISFunctions.asmx/GetShapeFileData",
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
dataType: "json",
success: function (data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
var response = data.d;
for (var i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
var polygonGeometry = response[i];
var vertices = new Array();
var numCoordinates = polygonGeometry.length;
for (var j = 0; j < numCoordinates; j++) {
var CoOrdinates = polygonGeometry[j];
var x = CoOrdinates[1];
var y = CoOrdinates[0];
vertices[j] = new Microsoft.Maps.Location(x, y);
}
var polygoncolor = new Microsoft.Maps.Color(100, 100, 0, 100);
var polygon = new Microsoft.Maps.Polygon(vertices, { fillColor: polygoncolor, strokeColor: polygoncolor });
// Add the shape to the map
map.entities.push(polygon);
}
},
error: function (xhr, status, error) {
alert(xhr.responseText);
}
});
"GISFunctions.asmx/GetShapeFileData" is my web service method. It fetches data from shapefile. Reads shapefile's records one by one and fetches co-ordinates for each record's polygon. In above Jquery Ajax function, i have differentiated my data and created array which contains vertices for my polygon and then according to below link, i am trying to map these polygons on Bing Map

When i go through static data then i can easily plot one polygon on Bing Map.. But when i try to create these polygons dynamically then my above code doesn't work. It doesn't plot any polygon on map and also don't give my error..
I am new to GIS functions so kindly suggest me right direction..
