Tonight I released v0.05 of the PietschSoft.VE3 Virtual Earth mapping control for ASP.NET.

Major enhancements this release brings:

  1. Added GeoRSS and VECollection Layer support
  2. Added simple VS Design-Time support
  3. Added VEMap.VEMapJSInclude property so the control can be pointed to a Virtual Earth mapping .js file (a custom one) other than the one hosted by Microsoft.

I'm trying to put out a new release with every couple features/fixes that are done. If you have any questions/comments about the control, just post it on the PietschSoft.VE3 Forums.

Update 8/15/2006: The control has been downloaded 68 times since I put it up on CodePlex a week ago, and the page on CodePlex has had over 1200 hits. There seems to be a decent amount of interest in this type of control. It is a real motivational factor.

**Update 11/5/2007: **There is a newer version of PietschSoft.VE that has been renamed Web.Maps.VE and it's located here: http://simplovation.com/Page/WebMapsVE.aspx
