Check out the announcement at dev.live.com : The Windows Live Tools for Microsoft Visual Studio (CTP) allows you to easy drag and drop online services into your web site without worrying about any of the underlying goo.
In this refresh we’ve fixed lots of bugs and added the Virtual Earth Map Control – you can now get the great interactivity of VE, with the power, and ease of use of ASP.NET with no JavaScript.
Download here and we’d love your feedback
In the toolbox you get a lot of new controls and extenders
When you drag this onto the canvas there is a rich design surface, you can manipulate the control via properties pane or add extenders etc.
The map server control is added to the page
You can manipulate the control in the code behind
We can import KML
The controls also support client extenders, from the smart tag you can add an extender

Virtual Earth ASP.NET Control - CTP Release
PingBack from http://livesino.net/archives/1155.live
Got a quick question concerning this control...first of all, understood that I can't expect support with the CTP label. That said, we are working on an application that requires some mapping functionality for a client...is this control permitted for commercial use? Can it be combined in any way with geocoding provided by, for example, MapPoint web service? Thanks in advance. This control looks excellent one way or another and I can't wait to give it a run.

@Joe. Hi Joe. In it's CTP form, no this control would not be appropriate for commercial use. But when we release the production version of this then Yes, it definitely would be. If you are a commercial Virtual Earth customer then yes you definitely could leverage the geocoding features out of MWS since as a Virtual Earth customer you would have access to MWS as well.
We'll have some announcements related to this as we approach the production release of this control to stay tuned to this and the other Virtual Earth bloggers for related announcements.
Thanks,
Mark

Very good site with a lot of useful information,
Hey Angus (cough cough)
I can see the controls when I create a new web app or web site but not when I try to use them in an existing site. Any clue why?
Hi, great job on the .NET controls. I have a couple of questions for you about them.
1. How can I use the CenterAndZoomExtender control in a listview? I am trying to make a list of linkbuttons that, when clicked, will clientside center the map on a new lat long . I have this working doing the center on server side, but I keep getting invalid target control id errors when I try to do this on the client side (with the center and zoom control in the repeating itemtemplate section)
2. How do I manually display the info text box that pops up when you hover over a pushpin shape?
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks for the great control,
P
