Dundas Map for .NET can be used for creating a Web or desktop application to analyze geographic data of any sort, be it regional sales in the Eastern USA, or global demand by country for your line of products etc. The exact look and feel required for any map can easily be achieved through appearance properties. Dundas Map for .NET uses built-in logic features to allow full control of map data and behavior. This intellectual capacity will ensure that generated maps provide meaningful, pertinent data based on user direction. Appearance and underlying logic of maps can be modified programmatically or using the Dundas Map Wizard. Dundas Map for .NET is compatible with Visual Studio. Includes samples for Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) and C#.
