  bing maps in asp.net application

  Jan 12, 2010 03:41 PM|anjaliagarwal5@yahoo.com|LINK

  Hi,

  I have list of facilities on my web page so for example I have

  ABC store1
  ABC store2
  XYZ store3

  on my web page

  I want when the user clicks on a particular store, I can pass the directions in a querystring to see the directions in bing map.

  
  I did lot of research and  found that bing provides the web services that I can call from my asp.net application. I was wondering someone has some code like this, I just want to see the one click directions when user clicks on the particular location.

  Any help will be appreciated. I also got the key from bing api's

  I have used VirtualEarth in one of my app.. But you should download Microsoft.Live.ServerControls.VE.dll

  I am just pasting the code below..Once you have the dll in Bin folder you can just register the dll in which ever page you want
  

  aspx page

  <%@ Register Assembly="Microsoft.Live.ServerControls.VE" Namespace="Microsoft.Live.ServerControls.VE"
      TagPrefix="ve" %>

  
  

  <asp:ScriptManager ID="ScriptManager1" runat="server" />
              <ve:Map ID="VEMap" runat="server" Height="500px"   Width="730px" ZoomLevel="12"  
              Center-Latitude="40.764015" Center-Longitude="-73.982797" />

  CSharp Code Behind

  protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
      {

      double lat = double.Parse(Request["lat"]);

      double long = double.Parse(Request["lat"]);

     string description = "Some description";

     AddShape(lat,long,description);

  }
  

  private void AddShape(double latitude, double longitude, string description)
      {
          LatLongWithAltitude point = new LatLongWithAltitude(latitude, longitude);
          Shape shape = new Shape(ShapeType.Pushpin, point);
          shape.Description = description;
          shape.CustomIcon = "images/yourImage.gif";
          VEMap.AddShape(shape);
      }

  Also you can point mulitple location too
  

  Hope this helps

  Thanks
