I am in charge of
www.todoexpertos.com, one of the most important Spanish Websites, with millions of unique visitors per month.
I don't know why, maybe for a future phising attack, but there were 3 other sites that put mine inside a frame... of course without permission.
As you can imagine, their code was similar to this one:
<HTML>
<HEAD></HEAD>
<FRAMESET>
<FRAME src="http://www.todoexpertos.com">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML> So their site seems to be todoexpertos.com... so I could be angry, or apply this easy javascript code that assures that your web is not inside an iframe:
if (top.location!=self.location) top.location=self.location;With only one line of code you save headaches :D
You will be probably in agreement with me if I say that the Google Maps API is one of the most powerful API's on the WWW. I'll really like it, because it allows to make really good geo-applications that a time ago you could not nor be raised.
I began to work with it in may of last year (2006), and then "the question comes"... why not to do an ASP .NET Control that generates the Google Maps API Code?
Now, one year and four months later my Google Maps control has been downloaded more than 7000 times (and growing) and translated to 9 languages by the community (English, Castellano, Français, Nederlands, Svenska, Italiano, Polski, Deutsch, Português brasileiro), and waiting for the turkish translation. Does anybody want to help with the Chinese, Japonese, Hindi, Arabian, Portuguese, Russian or any other language translation? :D
The control is very simple to use, and on the site you'll found a
complete "How to..." section, a "Code Gallery" and an "Icon Gallery". It's not only a Google Maps API parser, but also has other extra features as Server Events, inverse Geocoding, extra controls, etc.
The control is absolutely free, but the community animated me to offer licences to be sure that the project won't die. This licences are extremely cheap, and the only thing they do is remove the HTML comments of the control, so on commercial applications no references to the site of the control will appear. No other limitations are applied.
So take a look at the Google Maps for ASP.NET control site, and please give me your opinion about it :D
Firstly, I
must thank Joe his invitation to write at the ASP.NET weblogs.
Until now,
I only wrote in Spanish at my Spanish ASP.NET Blog (Google say’s that it’s one
of the most popular), but I’m not afraid with writing on both languages, although
my English is simple and far from perfect.
What I am
going to write in this Blog?
Well, I’m
obviously going to write some technical articles of ASP.NET, JavaScript,
ASP.NET AJAX and C#, but I’ll also write about the external libraries and
controls that I use, and others that I’ve created.
I wait you
here.
