Help for writing a click event for a custom map

I have an image of the political map of the USA. I want 开发者_如何学Cto write separate click events for each of the 50 states in Visual Studio. How would I do that?

If a static HTML map is what you want, then use an ImageMap control

In winforms that may be a little more work than you want to do.

There are no 'shape' controls so you would have to define a virtual map and just monitor click events.

Your best bet is to use WPF or Silverlight. That would be a piece of cake. polys in WPF are first class citizens and have events. It will look real purty too.

And I am sure there are already defined maps xaml on the google. (map, article)

Suggest you get your hands on something like Macromedia Fireworks which allow you to create image maps.
