The document discusses various ways to display maps and add data to maps using XAML and C# in a Silverlight application. It covers topics like adding a basic map control to XAML, configuring map properties, accessing the Bing Maps REST services to geocode addresses, and programmatically adding shapes, images and other media overlays to the map.
