Can I use custom image as map with Silverlight 3? - silverlight-3.0

I have to develop a silverlight application which will run intranet.
It will show local town map and have some images over the map like pushpins. I can use Deep Zoom for map application. But adding images and events for images is not supported.
For silverlight 2, there is DeepEarth api for this. But How can I do this with Silverlight 3?

Silverlight 3 is backwards compatible so DeepEarth should work in a Silverlight 3 application as far as I'm aware.

PhoneGap Application from a MVC4 application

I am beginner with PhoneGap. However I have successfully created a small PhoneGap application for ANDROID emulator. Now I want to start with something related to my project. I want to develop a web app using MVC4 for desktop/laptops and want to in turn develop a mobile application for Android/iOS using PhoneGap.But what I understood is that PhoneGap only take input pure HTML/JavaScript/CSS. My MVC4 application is having some csHTML files, some resource files etc. How can I convert these files to make them PhoneGap compliant.
I have googled a lot for this but not getting any meaningful.
Also please tell me that whether I am thinking in right direction or there is something beyond this.
One more point my MVC4 application is multilingual in nature based on the language of the browser. Does it make sense to have multilingual app on mobiles. If yes then how can I get the culture information on the mobile devices using PhoneGap.
If possible please share some live examples or code snippets.
Thanks.

Mobile MVC - Native Mobile Application Views

Planning to create a new website for our product using ASP.NET MVC 4. Site should support Desktop, Tablet and Few mobile platforms (WP7, IOS, Android).
Do we need to create View for each platforms like below? Or what is best preferred approach to have multiple platform and screen support
Desktop - > Views/Shared/Logon.cshtml
Tablet - > Views/Shared/LogonTablet.cshtml
Mobile - > Views/Shared/LogonMobile.cshtml
Thanks,
Velus
Checkout ASP.NET MVC 4 display modes. They allow you to render a specific view based on the User Agent. And if you need to use ASP.NET MVC 3 there's a NuGet for you which is spec-compatible with the upcoming release of ASP.NET MVC 4.

Using distinct views for distinct devices ASP.NET MVC

I need to use distinct version of views, for each device.
For example:
Controller/Action: Home/Index
PC - Home.cshtml, Android - Home.Android.cshtml, iPad - Home.iPad.cshtml
These pages contains different markup, but each device. But how it can be activated and detected using ASP.NET MVC IOC?

Silverlight deep zoom without asp.net?

I want to use deep zoom in Silverlight, but it seems that the images don't get sharp when I'm using my Silverlight application in a standalone html file, and not through iis. I'm able to zoom in and out, but the images is blurred. This works fine if I'm using a asp.net web site. Is it at all possible to use Silverlight deep zoom without iis?
Yes it is possible. Deep zoom creates a test htm in the ClientBin folder of the Web project it creates when you export. I can open my copy of this HTM directly from the file system and all the multi scale functions continue to work fine.
