Hi,

There is a component: mappointcontrol.ocx that you can import in the IDE. Then you can just drop it on a winform and you are started..

component refrence

Thanks.

Do you just give the component a name and reference the name the same way you would a MapPoint Application instance?

I'm not sure I understeand you completely. It is very simple, but please explain what you try to do, what your programming skills are, and what your experiance is in C#. Then it is more easy to explain the right steps..

background info

Hi Wilfried,

I'm new to MapPoint, so please excuse me if I mangle the references. I'm trying to determine the smoothest development path, whether it makes the most sense to embed a MapPoint component into a form, described in previous post, or to just reference the application through the object model (I beleive is the correct term).

I want to build an application to make use of all the MapPoint capacity, but I want complete control of how the user interacts with it.

As for my background, I am a software architect, 17 years experience building systems, BS CMPS, 3 years using C# and .NET framework, blah, blah, blah.

Hi,

Ok I was not sure of all that. Also my primary language is not english so difficult to read 'beween the lines'.

so the answer to your question is, yes you drop a mappoint component on your winform in C# and start with it in 5 minute.

However to have all mappoint.exe things in your app;lication you have to code all these thins. Most of them are simple. So the component display the map, has a lots of events and properties but is NOT a mappoint.exe applicatoin withc is good of course.

In C# it's easy. Open the Toolbox in the forms designer. Right-click the toolbox and select Add/Remove Items. Go to COM components, and select the MapPoint ActiveX control. Then it will generate a wrapper for you, and add Mappoint to the toolbox.
