Using Virtual Earth 4.0 in Asp.net 2.0
I have to give the functionality listed below in my Site.
- User can add the custome point on Map.
- User can search the path from one location to another.(Driving).
- User can print the driving path with and without text.
So Please can anyone help me for how to use Virtual Earth 4.0 in asp.net 2.0 ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Nayan,
A good place to start is by checking out the interactive SDK.

You probably want to explore:
- Use Pushpins
- Add a custom pushpin
- Get a route and directions
- Show the directions
ASP.Net will serve up the pages you create, but the majority of the action happens in jscript on the page.
The asyncronous callback in ASP.NET 2.0 is also an easy way to get AJAX style calls happening if you end up needing them in your design.

There is no functionality right now in VE that "prints" the map. That being said, you could just manually do that by print screen keyboard button and paste into print. Other ways are actually hacking and downloading the image tiles, but that is not available to the public.
