MSDN Roadshow 2007 Demos

Many thanks to the audience at Nottingham yesterday, for our first Roadshow event of 2007.  I had a number of requests for my Virtual Earth demos, so I've posted them on my site and the links are here...

Demo 1 (map and pushpins)

Demo 2 (map with contacts control and route calculation)

Please note: -

  • You'll need to run IE7 to make these demos work.  Windows Live supports other browsers, but my own Javascript probably doesn't.  Sorry.
  • To use the second demo, you'll need to sign into the Contacts Control using a Windows Live ID, and you'll need at least one contact record with a valid "personal zip/postal code" field.  Make it a real UK postcode for the "calculate route" function to work.

If you liked the Encarta Bot demo with Windows Live Messenger, you can have a go by adding encarta@botmetro.net to your Live Messenger contacts, then just start a conversation.
