Latitude/Longitude Input Control

[Matthew Hood]

Does anybody know of any .NET compentents/code or an input mask that I can
utilize for a latitude/longitude geocoordinate data-entry form? I've tried
the AcroTech activeX control, but unfortunately, it crashes when I try to
use it as a custom edit control in my grid, so I'm wanting to find either a
..NET component, or some validation code and an input mask I can use to
ensure correct data. I would love to find a control that will support both
Degrees, Minutes, Decimals format AND the Decimal format.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated,
TIA,
-Matt

You can base your implementation on these controls:

Thanks for the info on the masked edit controls.
I found some validation code to make sure my coordinates are good, so
between the two, I will be able to do what I need.

Thanks again,

related question. I need to figure out how to convert the
latitude/longitude/altitude stored as ints in a dns LOC resorce record to
some text representation. You have any links for working with this info.
Thanks
