Specifying a Radius for a MapPoint

Description
An example demonstrating how the MapPoint element can be customized to paint a circle with a predefined radius.
Solution
The MapPoint class accepts a System.Drawing.Size object in its constructor and depending on the specified size the control will paint a circular element. A common requirement is to specify a radius for the map point and have its size adjusted according the radius and the current zoom level of the view port. The solution in this article demonstrates a possible custom implementation introducing a new RadiusInMeters property.

public int RadiusInMeters

{
return this.radiusInMeters;

{
double onePixelInMeters = MapTileSystemHelper.GroundResolution(this.Location.Latitude, viewport.ZoomLevel);
int scale = -1;
scale = (int)(this.RadiusInMeters * 2 / onePixelInMeters);
Size newSize = Size.Empty;
if (scale > 1)
newSize = new Size(scale, scale);
this.Size = newSize;
base.ViewportChanged(viewport, action);
}

this.radMap1.Layers.Add(pointLayer);
CustomMapPoint element = new CustomMapPoint(new PointG(34.04302, -118.26725));
element.RadiusInMeters = 100;
element.BackColor = Color.FromArgb(125, Color.LightBlue);
element.BorderColor = Color.Red;
this.radMap1.Layers["PointG"].Add(element);
}
Public Sub New()
InitializeComponent()
Dim pointLayer As MapLayer = New MapLayer("PointG")
Me.radMap1.Layers.Add(pointLayer)
Dim element As CustomMapPoint = New CustomMapPoint(New PointG(34.04302, -118.26725))
element.RadiusInMeters = 100

element.BorderColor = Color.Red
Me.radMap1.Layers("PointG").Add(element)
