MSDN Webcast: Building Rich Interactive Mapping Applications with Virtual Earth, SQL Server 2008, and MapDotNet UX (Level 200)  

Learn how to create, visualize, analyze, and interact with spatial data using the latest Microsoft .NET technologies like Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF), Microsoft Silverlight, Microsoft Virtual Earth, and Microsoft SQL Server 2008. In this webcast, we walk through building a rich interactive mapping application from the ground up using Virtual Earth and IS Consulting's MapDotNet UX. See a demonstration of how easy it is to create data and maps using MapDotNet UX Studio. We also explore loading spatial data into SQL Server 2008, authoring and publishing a map to MapDotNet UX Web Services, and creating a tile cache using MapDotNet UX Studio. Following the data and map creation, we use the MapDotNet UX software development kit (SDK) and the out-of-the-box samples to rapidly build a WPF and Silverlight application using Microsoft Expression Studio and Visual Studio 2008. Discover the power you have to create applications with incredible user experiences for visualizing, analyzing, and interacting with your world.
