Dundas Map for .NET kicks up geographic visualization

Interactive map controls are one of many features in Dundas Map that speed up the development process and make for a better user experience. Dundas Map is a development toolset that works with both Windows Forms and ASP.NET to integrate map- and geographic-based visualizations with data-driven applications.

Dundas Map also supplies program logic to provide easy, direct control over map data, appearance and behavior. ASP.NET features ensure that interactive controls and functions enable support for pan, zoom, and redraw features without requiring server postbacks along the way.

A cornerstone of this environment is the Dundas Map Wizard. This forms-driven design tool lets users create and control map contents and presentation without writing any code directly. You can work from or modify pre-designed maps to speed up design, and use the Wizard at any time to inspect changes and updates prior to implementation. The Wizard also offers easy access to automatic color schemes, text, and border styles to help users create attractive and intelligible maps.

Dundas Map offers a wide range of interactive map controls, making fine-grained scroll

, pan, and zoom controls available to end users. Keyboard panning and zooming are included, as well as mouse wheel zooming. Additional interactions may be implemented using movement and mouse click handlers inherent to the various .NET programming languages (Basic, C#, C++, and J#). Map controls also include numerous geometric and cartographic projections, which help make map size, layout, and appearance (including view center specification) easy to define and manipulate.

Other map definition and implementation features include:

All in all, Dundas Map offers a compelling combination of features and functions sure to engage the interest and enthusiasm of Visual Studio developers building geographical applications. If my previous experience with Dundas's charting and dashboard suites is any indication, this package should be a treat to work with, and its finished product a joy to behold.
