The API is all client side, with asynchronous calls to Google services for geocoding and routing, and an asynchronous method for downloading data from the hosting domain. As such, ASP.NET seems to me to be unhelpful at best, as it deliberately mixes client and server processing. Most people posting here use LAMP servers (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) rather than Windows/IIS (Is that WINS? Windows, IIS, .NET, SQL Server). Using open-source products is probably on grounds of cost, but that software helps separate client and server functionality. I confess an interest here as I'm dead-set against .NET and its humungous pages, session control and general bloat. Others may have different opinions. If you know C# and ASP.NET and can get it to work for you, go for it. But I reckon you will find it easier to build straightforward web pages with supporting server scripts along the lines of the LAMP model than a native .NET application. I don't know of any official .NET controls from Google. They *do* provide rather a good search engine, and using that may help find one!
