from LiveSide - Windows Live news and interviews by John OBrien
Angus and dev.live.com have just announced that the July 2008 refresh of the Windows Live Tools was released today and includes some updates and bug fixes to the existing controls and importantly the release of the much anticipated Virtual Earth ASP.NET control.
Other major changes are:
- SilverlightStreamingMediaPlayer control upgraded to Silverlight 2.0 Beta 2
- SilverlightStreamingMediaPlayer Control supports Videos in Silverlight Streaming
- IDLoginStatus control supports transparent background
But the main attraction is the Virtual Earth ASP.NET control. It is a .Net 3.5 control designed for Visual Studio 2008 and does require a script manager (ASP.NET AJAX) to be added to the page to begin.
The control is a complete drag and drop experience, drag the map from your toolbox onto your design surface and resize to suit. As you would expect all V6 properties can be set as properties of the control, there is a full set of client side events to map to any JavaScript you require and a set of server events for server suitable events, like mouse ‘onclick’ but not ‘onmouseover’. (the later would fire too many events to be handled server side)
