Silverlight Bing Map with bindable amount of MapItemsControl

Is it possible to add something like ItemsSource to the Bing Map control to bind the MapItemsControls to a ObservableCollection? Actually I want to put different pushpin-styles on a map easily.

If I understand your question, you would like to have a collection of MapItemControls added to a map - and this collection has to be bind-able - created dynamically?

I had a similar issue before. The solution for me was to create a new MapLayer and expose two-dimensional collection of items as DependencyProperty.

Here is a suggested approach:

public class SpecialLayer : MapLayer
{
    public static readonly DependencyProperty ItemsSource ... 
    OnPropertyChanged(...) 
    {
        var layer = sender as SpecialLayer;
        foreach(Object in Routes){
            layer.Add(new Pushpin(...));
        }
    }
}

I wrote a short post about it. You can check it to get some details.

Yes, you can do that and pretty much anything you want with layers.

There is all kind of examples available on official site: http://www.microsoft.com/maps/isdk/silverlight/
