"Programming MapPoint in .NET" although I have heard it called other names - just as "MapPoint 2002 for Dummies" was sort of renamed "MapPoint for Dummies", I think there was another printing of MapPoint for Dummies but not AFAIK for Programming MapPoint in .NET.

In the book, there was a small section for the Virtual Earth which had just come out and a lot for the MapPoint Web Service and MapPoint Location Server in addition to the great content for MapPoint (the CD product).... I still refer to the book occasionally when I go beyond something I've already written - or even if I've already written it - especially around DisplayDataMap, I like his good explanation of how to program that... the examples are in C# but it's close enough to VB.NET and VBA.

Anyway this is all very much aside

But check any/all explanations of how to use MapPoint and VS2005 and make sure you are at least doing that ?

best,
Eric
