Table Per Class Hierarchy Inheritance Mapping with Fluent nHibernate(ang3lfir3.wordpress.com)

submitted by ang3lfir3(660) 2 years, 9 months ago

This is the second in a short series of posts I am working on. While reading through NHibernate in Action I thought to my self that I should create these same examples of Inheritance mapping using Fluent nHibernate to show how simple these mappings can be. The three types of Inheritance mappings that are mentioned on page 92 of NHibernate in Action are :Model * Table Per Concrete Class * Table Per Class Hierarchy * Table Per Subclass I will be using the example from NHibernate in Action to illustrate the mappings. This post covers the Table Per Class Hierarchy example. read more...

OpenStreetMap: Get FREE Web Mapping with Road Maps for your Apps(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 9 months ago

OpenStreetMap has been around for awhile and provides free geographic data that can be used by anyone. The data is all community created/contributed and that’s why it’s free to use. Other mapping services such as Bing Maps for Enterprise and Google Maps license their geographic data from some other third party and that’s why they cost thousands of dollars per year to use within commercial applications. And, you can use it with JavaScript and Silverlight! read more...

VEToolkit - Virtual Earth Toolkit v6.2.012509.1053 Released!(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 4 months ago

This is the first official release of the Virtual Earth Toolkit. The Virtual Earth Toolkit is a set of JavaScript-based Controls/Tools that Extend Virtual Earth with functionality that is commonly implemented, but hasn't been implemented within the Virtual Earth JavaScript Map Control. The Controls/Tools in the VEToolkit library are completely self contained, and don't require the use of any other JavaScript library to use other than Virtual Earth 6.2 (current version). This allows you to use this toolkit along-side any other JavaScript library (jQuery, ASP.NET AJAX, etc.); plus you can make use of it with any server-side framework of you choice (ASP.NET, ASP.NET MVC, PHP, etc.). read more...

Gold Coast : WPF and Virtual Earth revisited(blogs.msdn.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 11 months ago

I worked on a more creative/reusable approach to hosting Virtual Earth in a WPF application. If you have looked at any of my previous samples showing how to host Virtual Earth in a WPF app, you'll recall I was using the WinForms WebBrowser control to host an html page that in turn hosts Virtual Earth. Additionally, I used the WebBrowser control's ability to enable communication between managed code and JavaScript. One of the frustrations with this approach is that when using WinForms interop, all WinForms controls take the highest z-order in your app which means you cannot render WPF elements on top of the map. The other thing that has always bothered me about my sample is although it showed how to implement the general approach, it did not wrap all the functionality into a reusable WPF Virtual Earth control. Good news! I have an updated sample. read more...

Plot ZipCode Boundaries on a Map: Part 2 - Import Zip Code (U.S. Censu(pietschsoft.com)

Now that we've Made Sense of the U.S. Census ZCTA ARC/INFO Ungenerate (ASCII) files in Part 1 of this series, we are ready to import the U.S Census ZCTA Zip Code data into a database. In Part 2, we'll create database tables and import the Zip Code Boundary data into those tables in a MS SQL 2005 database. read more...

Plot ZipCode Boundaries on Map: Part1 - Make sense of U.S. Census Data(pietschsoft.com)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 11 months ago

The data I'll focus on here is the Census 2000 5-Digit ZIP Code Tabulation Areas (ZCTAs) in ARC/INFO Ungenerate (ASCII) format. Even though these files are in their own "special" format, described here, they are still just plain ASCII and easily converted into CSV files to be imported into a database. Well, you could look at the ARC/INFO Generate (ASCII) Metadata Cartographic Boundary File Format definition and write a parser that then saves in in a CSV format. Or, you could just download and use the one I wrote for this article. read more...

Encoding Latitude and Longitude pairs for performance(soulsolutions.com.au)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 11 months ago

In Virtual Earth we use lat/lon pairs everywhere, for pushpins, polylines and polygons but also for map bounds like the current view. This article aims to look at a better way to store and transmit these values. The encoding algorithm used is from Google maps. You will find an explanation of how and why we use it for Virtual Earth. read more...

Silverlight Virtual Earth, Part 1 using Deep Zoom - Sample (soulsolutions.com.au)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 3 years, 11 months ago

Silverlight and Virtual Earth are made for each other, but how best do we go about creating a Virtual Earth control in Silverlight? First up lets look at utilising the existing Deep Zoom control to serve up the base image tiles. In this proof of concept we have little more then a stock MultiScaleImage control hooked up to some appropriately created configuration XML, the output is only 6.8KB for the client! And check out the results on video: read more...
