i have this peoblem for some time already, i thought the latest release (on 11-18-2008) will solve it, but it seems not yet. i followed the Quick start guide for Web edition precisely, put the map and a button (to draw a marker) inside an UpdatePanel. Wheni click the button, a marker should be drawn on the map without the map flickering, but it did flicker. Anyone knows how to solve this?
Map flickering problem even inside UpdatePanel
Ric,
Quick Start Guide sample simply uses server side code and during every post back, UpdatePanel will refresh and map might flick. We did some optimization for IE so map flickers in FireFox while not in IE7.
Also, we have another method that with couple lines of javascript, the map will not flicker and the performance is better. Please see the posts here where you can also get the samples.
