Straight line between two points?

I want to plot lines between points on a map. I am trying to create an origin and destination map and can plot my push pins ok for the origin and destination, but I need to have lines connecting the two, not route lines, just straight lines so I know 1 point is associated with another. Haven't seen any examples of how to do this.

See the interactive SDK (http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/), under "Draw Lines". Basically, you just create a VEPolyline (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/VEMapControl/HTML/C_Namespace_VEPolyline_ctor.asp frame=true) and specify the start and end points. Very easy!

Here's a complete code snippet that draws a straight red line across the top of Wyoming:

<html>
   <head>
      <title></title>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
      <script src="http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v3/mapcontrol.js"></script>
      <script>
         var map = null;

         function GetMap()
         {
            map = new VEMap('myMap');
            map.LoadMap();
         }

         function DrawPoly(id,points,width,color)
         {
            poly = new VEPolyline(id,points);
            poly.SetWidth(width);
            poly.SetColor(color);
            map.AddPolyline(poly);
         }
      </script>
   </head>
   <body onload="GetMap();">
      <div id='myMap' style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div>
      <INPUT id="draw" type="button" value="Draw a Line" onclick="DrawPoly(
               '1',
               [new VELatLong(45.01188,-111.06687),
               new VELatLong(45.01534,-104.06324)],
               2,
               new VEColor(255,0,0,1)
               );">
   </body>
</html>
