County Quiz Croatia

A simple practice application for creating interactive maps using XAML

The application has two modes:

• Info mode: Click on a county to see its name and some extra details
• Quiz mode: Receive a name of a county and try to find it on the map

Switching between modes resets them, to prevent cheating.

Vector graphics to XAML

The easiest way to get paths from a vector graphics image inside your XAML file (in this case a UserControl), is to use Inkscape, because of its handy save option: Save as Microsoft XAML. The resulting file will contain more data than you need, so feel free to trim it down, the most important things to keep are the PathGeometry blocks.
