Vector graphic in C#

Hello, Im trying to implement scalable map in my GUI application, where the user could add shapes of different blocks and link them to the database.

Because of scalability (it must scale a lot) I have decided to use vector graphics. I tried to do it with SVG format but so far I found only scripts for using basic shapes which is probably enough for adding the blocks but can not load my map image.

Original image that I have in .ai so I could change it in most of the formats but it should be vector graphic.

Can someone suggest anything plz =)

P/S. Im sorry for my English this is my second language

I've never tried it, but if your original image is .AI (Adobe Illustrator) then it seems a natural place to start would be with reading an Adobe Illustrator file, which is a vector graphic. Once you understand the format well enough to read it, you should be able to make your changes in accordance with the file format and save a new file that is still readable by Illustrator or your program.

Adobe supports developers wanting to using their formats and has released SDK's for their products.

The read-me for the Illustrator SDK can be found here.

A little research from there should get you on your way.
