The Media Center Sandbox

I'm completely new to Media Center development and am trying to determine if an idea I have is doable. I've written a small library that talks to Google Latitude (and soon Facebook) and gets our current GPS locations.

What I'd like to do is to add an application for Media Center 7 that calls this library and shows it on a Bing/Google map, right in Media Center.

I have zero experience with MCML, but have used WPF before. Obviously the complicated part of this plan is the map. Can I host an HTML frame somehow? Or perhaps use the Bing Silverlight control?

Thanks, and my plan is to make this all open source if anyone is interested.

You can't host an HTML frame or a Silverlight control.

What you can do is to show a graphic, so if you write some code that converts your map to a file-based graphic, you can then display that on the page.

If you have the graphic in memory, you can display that instead of writing it out to file first.

Cheers,
Andrew
