Question

I am developing a map App in windows phone 7.5 platform. I need draw a text along some road. In the android, I can create a Path object and assigned start and end points with it. And then I can call the drawTextOnPath API to draw the text along the path. But I don’t know how to implement this in windows phone. It seems that I can only use TextBlock to draw text on WritableBitmap, but the TextBlock class does not provide API to change the orient of text. Must I use the XNA to draw the text?

EDIT1: I am not using any Map srevice such as Bing and the Map control to implement my app. Because the App just provides map of our school campus.

o you want to find a way to draw path on writebitmap.

you can draw path on the parent control of the writebitmap.

like this:

var yourpath
= XamlReader.Load(@””) as Path;

Children.Add(_pathUnreadTriangle);

And MeasureOverride it
