Visualizing List Data using a Map Control (Heinrich Wendel)

The true power of LightSwitch lies in its combination of Access-like ease of use and quick ramp-up, while also remaining attractive for complex coding scenarios. The new LightSwitch HTML Client allows you to build modern apps in a couple of minutes, deploy them to online services like SharePoint and Azure and access them from a variety of mobile devices.

You already learned about the basic usage of the new LightSwitch HTML Application project type and screen templates in our previous blog posts. We also introduced you to some of our more powerful concepts. We discussed the new HTML Client APIs, such as Event Handling and Promises, showed you how to use them to write your own custom controls that bind to data and how to integrate existing jQueryMobile controls.

In below blog post we will dig even deeper into code and show you how to implement a custom collection control that shows a map.
