[Antonio]

How I can display a mapRepresentations in a desktop application (developed
by Visual studio 2008 VB)?

Thanks.

You would have to write your own map control.

Basically you load image from MapPont Web Services as a picture and display
that picture in your Windows Forms or WPF application.

Can you give me an example of code to load image from MapPont Web Services
as a picture?

Thanks.

Antonio,

I'd recommend you install the MWS 4.5 SDK at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=CB5148A9-F09E-4EC8-992F-16478C0B5D9A&displaylang=en


By default after running the .msi, you'll find the ImageMap samples
installed at:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft MapPoint Web Service SDK, Version
4.5\Samples\.NET 2.0\ImageMap

Hope that helps,

sorry I'm a Newbie.
I have this code:

'Get the best view of two locations
Dim myLocations(1) As net.mappoint.staging.Location
myLocations(0) = New net.mappoint.staging.Location()
myLocations(1) = New net.mappoint.staging.Location()
myLocations(0).LatLong = New net.mappoint.staging.LatLong()
myLocations(1).LatLong = New net.mappoint.staging.LatLong()
myLocations(0).LatLong.Latitude = txtLat1.Text
myLocations(0).LatLong.Longitude = txtLong1.Text
myLocations(1).LatLong.Latitude = txtLat2.Text
myLocations(1).LatLong.Longitude = txtLong2.Text

Dim renderService As New net.mappoint.staging.RenderServiceSoap()
renderService.Credentials = New System.Net.NetworkCredential("xxxx",
"xxx")
renderService.PreAuthenticate = True


Dim mapRepresentations As net.mappoint.staging.MapViewRepresentations
mapRepresentations = renderService.GetBestMapView(myLocations,
"MapPoint.EU")

How I can display the map on my desktop application?

Thanks.

After GetBestMapView you need to make a call to actually load image from web
service
by calling GetMap on renderService.

_images = _render.GetMap(...)
If _images.Length > 0 Then
With _images(0).MimeData
My.Computer.FileSystem.WriteAllBytes(.ContentID, .Bits, False)
End With
End If

How to display an image in GUI is out of topic here.

What type should I declare _images?

What parameters I must pass to _render.GetMap?
