This book comes with companion material that includes sample code for:
MapPoint 2004
All code samples have references to MapPoint 2004; however, since future releases will be backward-compatible with MapPoint 2004, you should not have issues when running samples on future versions of MapPoint.
MapPoint Web Service
Samples require credentials. The companion material contains shared credentials for the MapPoint Web Service staging environment. Please note that these credentials are only included for the sake of convenience, and it is recommended to request your own credentials when you start developing with MapPoint Web Service. Abuse of these credentials may result in denied access to the Web Service, causing inconvenience to your fellow readers of this book.
MSN Virtual Earth
Sample code uses the undocumented Virtual Earth APIs.
