Carbon Project Demonstrates Seamless Web Mapping for .NET

August 18, 2006; 04:29 AM
Last week The Carbon Project successfully demonstrated its new open-geospatial .NET developer tools for seamless web mapping - easily bringing tile-based mapping services like Yahoo Maps (and Google Maps) together with bounding-box based services like Open Geospatial Consortium, Inc. (OGC) web mapping.

“With the DataRasterTiles class in CarbonTools PRO .NET developers can now easily handle the geospatial interoperability challenge of making tile-based mapping services, like Google Maps and Yahoo Maps, work together with bounding-box based services like OGC,” said Nuke Goldstein, CTO of The Carbon Project.

CarbonTools PRO is a new software development toolkit that enhances the Microsoft .NET framework to support advanced location content handling and sharing. With CarbonTools PRO .NET developers can extend existing geospatial systems with new capabilities and content sources or build exciting new open-geospatial .NET applications.

“Based on Source-Handler-Data™ technology, CarbonTools PRO provides a unified API for geospatial interoperability with an array of location content and services. This means Google Earth KML, Yahoo Maps, OGC web mapping, GML, ESRI Shapefiles, OSGeo’s MapGuide, Autodesk, MapInfo and more can be used in your open-geospatial .NET applications…seamlessly!” says Jeff Harrison, President and CEO of The Carbon Project.

CarbonTools PRO will be released on July 20, 2006.
