Web Application Toolkit Features Bing Maps

 you’re really looking to jumpstart your Bing Maps development you’re going to want to check out the new web application toolkit. The toolkit provides sample ASP .NET code for common scenarios such as pushpins on the Bing Maps Silverlight Control and creating a store locator. Read on the info I scraped from the site.

Web Application Toolkits help ASP.NET web developers quickly complete common tasks.  Each Web Application Toolkit download contains reusable assets – e.g. controls, class libraries, endpoints etc. and a sample application that shows how to use them.  Earlier this year we launched 7 Web App Toolkits; IE8 Extensibility, Bing Search, REST Services, Mobile Web Applications, Template-driven Email, Social Web Apps, FAQs.  We received a great response from the community and had plenty of suggestions for new toolkits!  Over the past couple of months we’ve been busy in the lab creating three new Web Application Toolkits and are excited to launch them today!

In this Web Application Toolkit you will find a set of reusable custom controls built in Silverlight, which integrated with the Bing Maps Silverlight Control, make a perfect fit for some of the most common location-aware scenarios. With this Toolkit, you will also find a sample Silverlight application showing how to use those controls when implementing a “store locator” scenario on a Web site.

 Bing Maps is launching features that give users a new view of the planet, including a Streetside and enhanced aerial view. The new features incorporate key Microsoft research and technology such as Photosynth and Silverlight.

Bing Maps has overhauled its experience to better reflect how people are using the Web to complete tasks and make decisions. The new Bing Maps Beta adds an immersive new viewing mode and an “application gallery” to further enhance its virtual perspective of the world, Microsoft announced Wednesday.

Bing Maps now offers a Streetside and enhanced aerial view, giving users the ability to explore what’s around them from the street level or from the sky looking down.

The new Bing Maps incorporates several key Microsoft technologies, including Silverlight, a multimedia Web application, and Photosynth, an application from Microsoft Live Labs and the University of Washington that can stitch photos together, turning them into a three-dimensional model…..Continue At Source

Try Out the New Google Search

Google has been quietly testing its new revamped Google Search homepage and it now seems like they are slowly rolling it out to all the markets. Thanks to the trick posted by Gizmodo, you can now try out the new Google Search and have a feel for it. Simply follow the steps below to get to the new Google Search page.

Step 1: Go to www.google.com. Make sure you are on the Google.com (www.google.com/ncr) as it wont work for the local country pages like Google.ca or Google.co.uk.

Step 2: Copy and paste the following JavaScript code into your browser’s URL field:

javascript:void(document.cookie=”PREF=ID=20b6e4c2f44943bb:U=
4bf292d46faad806:TM=1249677602:LM=1257919388:S=odm0Ys-53Zu
eXfZG;path=/; domain=.google.com”);

Make sure there that http://google.com is not preceding the code above.

Step 3: Press enter.

Step 4: Now refresh the same page or simply open google.com in a new tab to see the new Google Search UI.

The new UI looks refreshing and modern’ish. Some of the elements in the new interface looks like being inspired from Bing.com, specially the sidebar on the left. Except for the Images and Maps results page, the new Google UI appeared for me in all the other search results options, this includes Videos, News, Blogs and more. I’m not sure if that’s the case with everyone else too?
