Rotate Bird's eye view

Rotate Bird's eye view

Can somebody let me know what the server side command is to rotate the view when in birdseye view?

It's VEMap.SetBirdseyeOrientation in the VE SDK.

I bought this control thinking it'd replicate all the javascript commands in the MS SDK, have I made a mistake or is there always a way to access the underlying methods?

Re:Rotate Bird's eye view

The current release of Web.Maps.VE (v2.00.01) doesn't have server-side support for the SetBirdseyeOrientation method, but you can access it using JavaScript.

Below is an example of getting a reference to the Map object using JavaScript:

var map = $find("<%=Map1.ClientID%>");

The reference access above has wrappers for all the VEMap object's methods. If for some reason one isn't supported, or errors, you can use the following method to get a direct reference to the VEMap object itself:

var virtualEarthMapObject = map.get_Map();

Let me know if you have any further questions.

Re:Rotate Bird's eye view

Thanks for the quick reply, I tried adding the following in to my page_load event:

Map1.OnClientMapLoaded = "var map = this; map.get_Map().SetBirdseyeOrientation('North');"

I've tried it with and without the get_Map() but it still errors.

I'm getting:   Value cannot be undefined.  Parameter name: method.

The VEMap.SetBirdseyeOrientation method supports string (ie north, south, etc).

Am I missing something?, I've tried using the $find method to set the instance of the map control as well as using "this", but it throws the same error.

Thanks in advance.

Re:Rotate Bird's eye view

You'll want to use the VEOrientation enumeration in your JavaScript code.

You'll want to change your code to the following:

Map1.OnClientMapLoaded = "var map = this; map.get_Map().SetBirdseyeOrientation(VEOrientation.North);"
