SCREENCAST: Rendering Polygons from SQL Server 2008 on Virtual Earth
In this screencast, I build off of the concepts shown in my previous screencast and show you how to render a polygon on a Virtual Earth map using REST, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), LINQ to SQL, and the new geography data type in SQL Server 2008. To learn more about the GeoRSS utility library, visit: http://blogs.msdn.com/eugeniop/archive/2008/07/01/simple-georss-utility-library-released.aspx A big thanks to Eugenio Pace for letting me use it as part of my sample!

SCREENCAST: Saving Virtual Earth Polygons to SQL Server 2008
In this screencast, I show you how to draw a polygon on a Virtual Earth map and save it using ASP.NET AJAX, Windows Communication Foundation (WCF), LINQ to SQL, and the new geography data type in SQL Server 2008.

Virtual Earth: Drawing on the map and storing the result in SQL Server 2008
During my Virtual Earth Workshop at the GIS-T ( www.gis-t.org ) conference, I demo'd how to execute a spatial query in a VE scenario by using JavaScript, WCF, and SQL Server 2008.  The query returned GeoRSS to the browser so the VE map control could use it to draw polygons on the map.  I ingested the spatial data into SQL from ESRI shape files provided by the US Census Bureau here using a free tool available here .  I'm planning on cleaning up the code, making the sample available, and recording a channel 9 screencast explaining the sample.   As a result of the demo, I received the following email from one of the attendees: "I would like to know if you have a demo of how I could store the coordinates created...
