Develop and implement a business intelligence application quickly with Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Tools Second Edition for the 2007 Microsoft Office System, Virtual Earth Map Control 6.0, and Microsoft Office Excel 2007.
This project accompanies two MSDN articles: Integrating Virtual Earth Maps and Excel 2007 Using Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition Part 1 (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc531008.aspx) and Part 2 (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc313157.aspx).
The first article in this two-part series demonstrates how to:
• Create a Virtual Earth control.
• Create an Excel Add-in Project using Visual Studio Tools for Office System Second Edition
• Get the data from a Microsoft Office Access database to create Virtual Earth Shapes (Pushpins) on the Virtual Earth map.
Integrating Virtual Earth Maps and Excel 2007 Using Visual Studio 2005 Tools for Office Second Edition (Part 2 of 2) shows how to customize the shape and the info box (or popup or bubble). In addition, we use automation in Office Excel 2007 for formatting and charting to provide better data visualization.
