Re: Virtual Earth, Loading your pushpin popup content on demand

Polygons are interesting, I would look at my encoding article to see a really effeicent way to store and transmit them. I would keep in mind that VE is fairly slow in ploting many polygons. I have had success in throttling the plotting of polygons so only XX are drawn per second. This allows the user to get on with what they need to do or wait for the polygons to be drawn. The delayed effect of them drawing is pretty cool also - sort of animated if you seqence it right.

This article focused on the V4 API, to see it working in V5 have a look at my most recent Clustering article.
The idea of content on demand is that you fetch the content for the popup only when the user hovers over the pin.
If you have thousands of pins each with 4KB of content this is a saving of 4MB of data. It fits nicely with the whole concept of VE loading tiles on demand.
