This sample shows how you can use Map Shapes to draw state capitols on the map with just a longitude and latitude coordinate. Map Shapes work great for displaying dynamic map data or map data that doesn't exist in the shape file.  In the example below you can click on any of the blue squares and the name of the state capitol will be displayed in the top right hand corner of the map.  This is done by setting the map to SelectMapShapes mode which allows you to capture the selected map shape in the SelectMapShapes event raised by the map.

Try it out by clicking any of blue squares. 

Note:  If you use track zoom or panning you will need to click the information button on the toolbar to set the map back to SelectMapShapes mode.
