• BMap.NET.WindowsForm

  contains some controls which can be used in winform.for example: BMapControl which can display baidu map, BDirectionBoard is responsible for navigation, etc.

can do in BMap.NET:

• Search places by city, bounds, circle(nearby);
• Place suggestion;
• Geocoding;
• Direction(transit, driving, walking);
• Located by IP;
• Coordinates transofrm;

• Set map load mode(cache, cache_first, server);
• Drawing shapes in map;
• Measturing distance;

• Direction control;
• Places list control;

cant do:

• 3D map;
• Street view;
• Direction according to real-time traffic conditions;

In addition, this project is used only for Baidu map, so the Extension ability is so so. you can modify the source code to meet your needs.

how to use

BMap.NET is very simple to use(just some interfaces to get json data from baidu map server).

BMap.NET.WindowsForm only opens 5 controls: BPlaceBox, BMapControl, BPlacesBoard, BDirectionBoard and the BTabControl. you can drag them into form desinger and set few properties to let them build associations like this:

1. BPlaceBox

   

2. BPlacesBoard

   

3. BMapControl

   

4. BDirectionBoard

   

press F5 without any other writed codes.

BTabControl is only used as a container which contains BPlacesBoard and BDirectionBoard.
