Porting a cool ASP 3 Google Maps hack to ASP.NET 1.x/2.0
I found a clever video tutorial by Wayne Lambright explaining how to hack the Google Maps API yesterday. It's a very entertaining and practical lesson, written in ASP 3.0, using an Access database, authored in DreamWeaver, and making a SOAP call to a ServiceObjects public web service to obtain the latitude/longitude of a locale.
I've decided to help my fellow man and port the code sample over to ASP.NET 1.x, using some of the more up-to-date Microsoft web technologies, concepts and best practices (single-page master/detail relationship, code-behind, C#, SQL Server, XML/XSLT, OOP, ADO.NET, etc.). When I'm done, I'll do another updated example in ASP.NET v.2.0. :)
