The big difference with your link is that its displaying rastered
information so interaction is a bit different. Specifically with Greg's
specs is you can't easily do the hit testing and pleasing animations on
mouse over and click since you don't have the details of the polygons on
the client
In this example it is making Map Tiles correct
but the point is... that you don't need to have the data in SQL Server to
use the SQL Spacial functionality
it shows how easily you can use it via C# and this data could be coming
from anywhere, then you can access the funtionality of the SQL
Thanks Richard, you have mentioned some very interesting tools and
techniques, so technically interesting in fact that I feel compelled to get
the tools and play with them. I refuse to be defeated by shapefiles - Greg

the link i sent has the same as richard, but also shows how you can do
these things in code C# with out SQL Server

If you have SQL Server around, why don't you import the shape files into
SQL (http://www.sharpgis.net/page/SQL-Server-2008-Spatial-Tools.aspx). Then
you can do use the Reduce function to reduce the complexity of the shape to
something suitable for you then use STAsText() to get the GEO as well

may have some info that could help you?

I remember way back in SQL Server 2008 they introduced geospacial data
and queries that may make this sort of stuff easy. There were a few
demos floating around on how to interact with this sort of data, which
I'm sure you could google up without much effort. Unfortunately I
haven't had the joy
Carl, unfortunately there is no chance of using SQL Server in this app. I
have a fat book chapter
http://www.microsoft.com/learning/en/us/book.aspx?id=12805 here on
spatial data that I'd like to try out, but this isn't a chance. I'm still
web searching for some kind of control or library which
Chris, that's a really weird sample, putting it in a ListBox, I mean he
could have put it all in a Canvas to be more realistic. However there are
some interesting clues inside. He has the XML state coordinates, so they
(and other stuff) must be publicly available somewhere (I'm still looking)

Well, it's mainly used to demonstrate how much you can customise the
ListBox control using a control template, but you've also got the advantage
of each state being selectable using the functionality already provided
by the ListBox control. I think it's quite a neat way to go about the
problem.
For the state boundaries GeoCommons is your friend:

For the UI you probably want to start with an existing mapping control like
DeepEarth (http://deepearth.codeplex.com/) or the bing maps control.
