bing maps in asp.net application

Question

User351619809 posted

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
