Firstly your experience in VB.net is an advantage rather than a hindrance. ASP.net is not a language itself but a framework that allows you to use vb.net, C# or any other .net language to code in.

What exactly do you need to do with google earth?

Hello Fishcake,

I need to do an educational piece of software for my classes which might be very useful in the education. So I really appreciate your help.

Now for how I am trying to design this interface in ASP.Net that loads the sites from Google Earth by querying. I know there is a earth.dll in this site however I dont know how to integrate the instructions.

Please help. Thank you.

Start by copying the DLL to a folder in your project. Then right click on the project, add reference, and browse to that DLL. It should create an Interop for you.

Hey the site gives an area according to longitude/latitude and wonder if it is possible to load the names of places from a longitudes/latitude area. Say I need to download into my database the names listed in Google earth of a island eg. Majorca so that I could create an interface from which I can do a search for my students.

Your help is much appreciated. Many thanks
