GIS.NET Mapping Component for .NET

GIS.NET is a high-performance mapping component for desktop and mobile .NET applications. Using GIS.NET, you can build powerful mapping applications, using your own geographic data sources, for any .NET platform, without even requiring an Internet connection! Version 3.0 introduces a brand new architecture designed to greatly simplify the process of designing custom geographic objects. Using this approach, you can quickly create any kind of geographic object for your specific needs. GIS.NET 3.0 is now already in use by several GIS companies around the globe, and it delivers faster performance than any .NET mapping component in the market today.

Screen Shots
The free 60-day trial of GIS.NET 3.0 includes several examples in both C# and Visual Basic.NET, for Visual Studio 2005 and 2008. Developers typically copy and paste source code from these examples to quickly start building a prototype for their own applications.

This map was produced using several ESRI® shapefiles from the web site NationalAtlas.gov. Geographic objects such as "Lake," "Road," and "Town" apply a specific look and feel to objects as they are loaded. By designing custom geographic objects, developers can minimize the amount of code required to produce detailed maps.

GIS.NET 3.0 introduces a new, versatile object selection system for the desktop. Developers can create selections consisting of any combination of rectangles, squares, circles, ellipses, or custom point-by-point polygons. This screen shot demonstrates three circle selections (in red) which comprise a single search query.

In this example, a shaded relief GeoTIFF image of the United States adds a 3D look to the mountainous regions of Colorado. By blending images with other geographic objects, an attractive map can be produced with little effort.

In this example, several instances of a custom "Airplane" object move around a map. GIS.NET 3.0 delivers fast rendering performance by separating objects into "movable" and "permanent" groups. Movable items can be redrawn many times per second.

In this example, a custom object called "WeatherReport" downloads current weather conditions from the National Weather Service then displays an icon for each nearby city. The source code for this class is included to help demonstrate how easy it is to design custom objects and add them to a map.

This is the C# source code for a custom GIS.NET object called "Hyperlink.". With just a few lines of code, this object receives mouse events and produces interactive behavior just like a hyperlink on the web. This code also demonstrates how a particular style can be applied to an object using the "Style" and "TextStyle" properties.

Mobile devices are notorious for their lack of memory and processing power, making it difficult to write mapping applications. However, GIS.NET 3.0 can greatly improve rendering performance with a technique known as "tiling". Developers use the "Tileset" class on their powerful desktop computers to slice a map into hundreds of 200-by-200 PNG images known as "tiles". Then, developers copy the entire folder of tiles to their mobile device project. Finally, the tileset is opened. By "pre-rendering" maps in this fashion, high-quality maps can be delivered to mobile devices without crippling performance.

In this example, several different map projections are applied to the same set of data. GIS.NET 3.0 is built upon "Geodesy.NET" a port of the widely used "PROJ4" library to the .NET Framework. GIS.NET 3.0 automatically projects objects for you, thus freeing you from having to perform any trigonometry to calculate coordinates. You can also easily develop your own custom projections.

GIS.NET 3.0 includes a free license to "Geodesy.NET," a complete coordinate conversion library. Geodesy.NET is a complete coordinate transformation library, including over 35 popular coordinate projections, over 2500 projected coordinate systems and almost 600 transformations to convert coordinates to the WGS84 system and back again.

Through an exclusive agreement with VirtualLNK, a leading provider of Vista-style icons, the GIS.NET Cartography Library lets you quickly add professional icons to any Map. Developers can request additional icons to add to the library, and also make use of other common geographic objects.

The GIS.NET object library includes support for searching objects. Searches can be spatial using a single point or a search polygon. In this example, a text search is performed using the keyword "Greens". Many objects of different types are returned in the results.
