wp7 In-App View Directions in Map

I wanted to ask is it possible to Show Directions in Map View (Bing) in Windows Phone 7. I want to show the route (lines) from present location to a specific location in my Map Component.

I had gone down the path of in-app routing, as per the link Avijeet Singh provided, however I'd recommend against it. It took a significant amount of effort to handle real world scenarios and in the end the result was not as smooth or polished as the native Bing Maps experience. Having been there, unless there is a very compelling reason to display the routing information in app, I'd advise that you look at using BingMapsDirectionTask. If you've implemented Fast Application Switching then the switch back / forth to the native maps won't be too jarring for user. Even having implemented routing in-app I ended up removing it and using the BingMapsDirectionTask
