Freeware release of Microsoft Virtual Earth Web Part 

Tags: Freeware Releases

I’m really excited to launch my first FREE web part in my new freeware section of the site. The Microsoft Virtual Earth Web Part is something I wrote a while back, and it has been of great use to me. Some of the things I’ve used the map web part for were to plot office locations, recommended restaurants, recommended hotels, and many other good applications. The map web part conveniently reads its addresses from a SharePoint list, which is programmatically generated when you drop the web part onto the page. Plus, the map web part is open source, so feel free to customize it as you see fit.

Good luck!

WHOOPS! I forgot to type that up. I will work on getting some nice instructions posted this Saturday (4/12). Thanks for the reminder. Until then, research how to add and deploy a SharePoint solution file - thereafter the web part should appear in the web part gallery (pop-up). Phil

The web parts utilizes the SharePoint object model and thus requires SharePoint permissions, either a custom CAS policy or more likly, WSS_Medium or Full trust specified in the web.config of the web application(s) you're deploying to. If you dont' want to bump up the trust on your web app(s), deploy the dll in the GAC which will give just the web part full trust. Phil
