Hi Wilfried,

They say that in MapPoint 2006, the MapPointControl object is supported only in Visual Basic 6.0. MappointControl object is basically used to implement new additions in mp 2006

Basically I followed these steps as directed my Microsoft Mappoint Help

Referencing the MapPoint Control 13.0

In Visual Studio .NET 2003

On the Tools menu, select Add/Remove Toolbox Items.
In the Customize Toolbox dialog, select the COM Components tab.
In the list of components, select Microsoft MapPoint Control 13.0. Be sure to select the check box to the left of this component.
Click OK. The component has been added to your toolbox and can be used in a project.

So everything is fine and the activeX control reads Mappoint Control 13.0 and so does the axMappointControl object.

Does this mean that I will not be able to integrate the Driving Guidance Pane and the GPS Task Pane (2 new additions in MP 2006) in .NET using the Mappoint ActiveX Control 13.0 as guided by MSDN.

Is there any bypass to this in .NET ?
