JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control

UPDATE: Fixed the embedded video.

Have you ever wished you could get JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control in Visual Studio 2008?  I have, so I came up with a solution and started a codeplex project!  I just recorded a short 10 minute channel 9 screencast explaining the solution.  The screencast is here.  I have also embedded the video in this post for those of you who prefer that.  Once the video has started, you can double click it to go fullscreen.

The project is not finished.  I need people to volunteer to contribute so we can release full intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control 6.0.  Instructions for people who want to contribute are in the screencast.  The more people willing to contribute, the faster we make this available for everyone!

The codeplex project is http://codeplex.com/vejs.

How do i make the video display bigger? I can barely see it, especially with the code in VS.

The last sentence of the first paragraph reads "Once the video has started, you can double click it to go fullscreen."

Is that not working for you?

Marc,

That email address bounced - does it work external to Microsoft?

my message:

Marc,

I’d love to help (user: SoulSolutions), but I’d also like to help get others involved. I completely understand the concept and agree you need a bunch of volunteers to make this a community project and share the workload.

I moderate the VE Forums and posted here:

I haven’t put this email address in the post but let me know if I can (I hate spam too!)

Thanks,

John.

Thanks for your interest.  I'd be thrilled if you contributed!  The email bounce issue has been resolved.  See the following post for details:

how can i find the shortest path with the time required to traval that path for virual earth maps?

plz give me code ?

# marcsc said on April 9, 2008 11:50 AM:

You want to use the map.GetDirections() API.

You can find more details using the interactive sdk at http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/ or via the full blown sdk at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb877838.aspx.
