| Whats the easiest or best I guess way to write up a mashup in maybe vs.net? For instance we have too many printers in the office we work at. I'd like to write some code that shows sort of our office map (maybe just two rectangles for upper level / lower level) that has maybe printer icons of all the printers in this building. Sort of like google maps when you search for say a restaurant. You'd then be able to filter the printers based on name / type / etc...All of which would be stored in the db. Im not asking for ideas on the db side Im really just asking how to approach this interface wise.Thanks,JONWeblog -- [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/jhermiz[/url] |

| I presume you can't ACTUALLY use Google Maps for the inside of your office building? |

| "am I missing something Kristen"I doubt it! but I was just wondering if Google Maps (or something like it) could display on a scale within-a-building, rather than of global-scale. |

| Sounds like a job for WPF. But I imagine that's a whole lot of stuff to learn just to do what you want.Damian"A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." - Emerson |
