Why does GetClusterShape return null when the cluster specification was retrieved through the GetClusteredShapes method?
Suppose I have a virtual earth shape layer called shapeLayer1 (my creative energy is apparently at an alltime low). When i call the GetClusteredShapes method I get an array of VEClusterSpecification objects that represent each and every one of my currently visible clusters; no problem there. But when I call the GetClusterShape() method...
Virtual Earth Control - strange floating behavior
I've been working my way through the "NerdDinner" MVC tutorial, and I just reached the part about adding a map control.

They have asked me for an opinion on whether to use Google Maps or Virtual Earth for providing a mapping solution. Which would you go for and why? Or are there others you can recommend? What else do you need to know? Street vie...

Attaching and Detaching events to/from Virtual Earth maps
I don't think this is particularly quirky, but in an attempt to control my JavaScript code (if it is possible to really control JavaScript ;-) ) I have been wrapping all of my client-side JavaScript in lovely objects.

Custom Navigation Map Controls for Bing Maps (formerly Virtual Earth) to replace the default MS one
I'd like to jazz up our map interface which uses microsoft's bing maps. I'm tired of the default blue control that you see on every page.
