can we search a category in the MapPoint? or only a place?

there are the limit of 500 results in MWS. i can accept the limitation. but i look up the API from the MSDN and found that there are not what option and only where option. that is, we can only search one place and not search one category(such as restaurant). i download a example from msdn and try to input a category, but failure. who can tell me whether the MapPoint provide to search one category and how do that? thanks very much!

Hi,
I did it but using VE mapcontrol API 6.0, there you have a find method with either "what" and "where" parameters. Combining these paramaters you can find either a place or a business or both.

regards

Thanks a lot. In the beginning, i search what and where from Virtual Earth. Howerver, it provide 20 results once. That is, if you have 200 results, you need send and receive 10 times and cost a lot of time. The time is unacceptable. someone said MapPoint is good, but i am unsuccessful.

I didn't start with mappoint yet. I guess I can't help you now.
BTW, I've developed a VE application and it has a little search function using the find method. I'm working with AJAX and at least in my environment it seems to be pretty fast, I mean it is pretty acceptable.

Hope it helped
