The map library uses screen tiles that are 256x256 in size, but the actual image files we want to display will be about 25 megapixels. We were planning to slice our images into smaller pieces for more efficient zooming (i.e., not loading all the pieces at the same time, ideally).

256x256 wasn't a size chosen by us - It just happens that the map library we're using uses screen tiles that are that size.

I've looked into DeepZoom. It seems the original DeepZoom was written for Silverlight, which is no longer supported. I've seen the article on the modern DeepZoom that you point to, and it's written in JavaScript - I'm not sure how easily that would be integrated into a C#/WPF project.

Of course efficiency is a concern.. We will probably be working with individual image tiles that are about 25 megapixels each, so we wouldn't want them all loaded into memory at the same time. And something that costs money might not be a deal breaker. Also as far as overly complicated, what I was saying was it seems like using a map viewer is more complicated than necessary when I just want to use a set of local image tiles. I don't really need map stuff like latitude & longitude navigation, map markers, etc..

The way this is implemented currently seems a little convoluted. For instance, th ePinnedObject class has some stuff in it that I wouldn't think would be totally necessary. I was hoping for something more straightforward.

Also, as developers, don't we always strive to find the 'best' solution? Not just something that "works" and leave it at that? ;)

Thanks. I downloaded the code from that page, but it has compile & link issues.. I got it to compile by adding a type declaration to a loop variable, but now it has a linker error - It gives an "unresolved external symbol" error for CFileVersionInfo::vftable. How were you able to get this to compile & link?

1. I'm not sure what you mean by "image".
2. I want to get the version of the application from its own resources.. What filename would I pass to this function?
