Host mappoint control in vb.net

[Guest]

Is there a way to host the mappoint control in vb.net? I don't want to use
the web service because the destination system will not have internet. I
tried to host it and got an error about the library not being registered. Yet
it shows up in the COM section when I added it to the toolbox, and shows up
in the toolbox but I can't drop it on a form? I need to display a map and
modify the map using code. I saw a demo of this a LONG time ago in vb.net and
didn't save it. Anyone know how or where I can find an article/demo of this?

Thanks,
Chris

Perhaps I am missing your point but !

Are you trying to use location services to get routing plans etc, if so you
either need to get access to Location Server ( Microsoft ) which needs the
internet or install one in your intranet

From what I understood, running location server required internet, it used
the mappoint web services.

What I am doing with it is adding mapping/directions to my car computer
which already has XM radio (via the XMPCR usb receiver) and mp3/dvd playback
(via windows media player hosted in my app). When the software is done ill be
looking into moving it onto the windows xp embedded platform and running it
on my 1.2ghz via mini-itx motherboard which is in my car already with a 7inch
touchscreen and remote control via pocket pc. Most of its done and working in
the car on windows xp pro, but i really would like the maps/directions using
gps and need to host the maps in this app of mine.

I wrote an article ( Lab ) on location server which may or may not be of
help.

Hi,

There are examples online (both www.msdn.microsoft.com and www.mp2kmag.com).
You also can ask questions in the mappoint newsgroup.
