How do I add simple "pushpins" or other objects to a Bing Maps Silverlight Control from the ASP.NET C# code behind? I have only found examples for modifying the actual Silverlight control (i.e. MainPage.xaml). This is not the answer I am looking for. Thanks for the help, completely new to Bing Maps.
A:
MainPage.xaml is not the actual Silverlight control.
See all the tutorials here, starting with the 'getting started' samples and working your way upwards. Also see the rest of that blog, quite interesting stuff.

Thanks for the reply. I already completed the first tutorial to get everything setup. Then, I added the control to a separate web application and now what I am trying to accomplish is to add dynamic pushpins into the map from the ASP.NET side. For example, I have a search page, that returns a list of "Classes" to a DataGrid. I want to use the same datasource/search to then display those class locations on the Silverlight control.

You can't access the internals of Silverlight from the outside without some set-up. You'll need to program the control to accept your specific inputs and do the actual work, which means Silverlight programming.
