Hi,

I was just wondering if I can use the google earth API for my
windows .NETapplications.

I did a bit of googling on this but found links that explained how to
go about this in web applications and Windows mobile applications.

Any help or guidance on this is appreciated.


Regards,

Hari

Yes, you can use GE API in a .NET application. It's very powerful.
You have to embed the required javascript functions in the HTML behind
a webBrowser object and then call the functions using the
webBrowser.Document.InvokeScript method.
Have a look at the User Notes on gpsanimator.com for an example.

Fraser - an "Earth API Guru" has developed a really useful set of c#
components, which can be called from VB as well. Have a look at
http://code.google.com/p/winforms-geplugin-control-library/ - I have
used these very successfully as the basis for a c# application that
integrates with GPS devices.

Hi

I have the same question as Hari, but I do not want to use the
webBrowser option with java scripting...i would like to access the
functionality directly from the windows app. Is that posible?

Hi Everybody,

Thanks to all of you for your responses. Actually, I did not wanted to
use WebBrowser control.

Anyways, I got a link to a site which explains how to go about this.

I also got the following link:

But I did not try it.

Hope this helps....
