Virtual Earth and Me

From last few weeks I am working on Virtual Earth SDK; something different than .NETCF on which I am working on from last 6 months.

Microsoft research has provided a very useful tool "MapCruncher". We used this tool to overlay a map on actual virtual earth map , a very good experience.

It is still in the research mode so I expecting a lot of improvement and API support from MapCruncher, currently it requires quite tedious tasks to cruch a map. Waiting for the next release of map cruncher. Apart from this project I am also working on a project that involves WPF & Virtual earth.

We were facing a lot of issues regarding deployement of ".xbap" on web; finally unexpectedly it work just by copying the published folder in intepub folder, didn't even required to host it.
