Calculate Distance Between Geocodes in C# and JavaScript

Tue, 05 Feb 2008 09:16:02 GMT

There are times when I need code to calculate the distance between two geocodes (Lat/Long points). I don't need it very often and until now I didn't have a code snippet that I could jus copy and paste. I was searching and found Rob Conery's LINQ and Geocoding post. It's an interesting post and he includes a sample of how to use Lambda expressions in C# 3.0 to calculate the distance between two geocodes in Miles. I decided to copy his code snippet and make sure it works in .NET 2.0 and also convert it to JavaScript.

Web.Maps.VE allows you to focus more of your time on implementing features that users want, rather than having to deal with the hassles of JavaScript.

C#: Care about Event Memory Leaks with Delegate.GetInvocationList()

Thu, 25 Oct 2007 20:31:02 GMT

Subscribed events are one of the most common reasons of memory leaks in .Net. This means that if you have an object that has an event and there are other object that are subscribed to that event, the original object won't be properly disposed until all events are unsubscribed since an event is a strong reference.
