The Virtual Earth Extended Template provides a way to get a MDNS Web Site up and running quickly and easily. This is a solution for people who did not wish to go deep into coding by implementing functionality via the Interactive SDK.
Note: As of MapDotNet Server v6.1.2, the included VirtualEarth template includes the VEMap2D.aspx and VEMap3D.aspx as mentioned here.

In addition to the base Virtual Earth web page that comes with the MDNS installers, two more pages are provided: one for drawing (2D only) and a 3D page.
The Drawing Page (VEMap2D.aspx)
This page comes with a fully functional toolbar (
MapToolset):
The first four tools after the pan tool are for selecting by shape. For example, a circle:
The next four can be used for interactive drawing like so:
The last two buttons are for erasing drawings and for toggling the VirtualEarth Overview map respectively.
Additionally this page contains a built-in
MapTOC and support for Drill-Down identify on mouse hover:
The 3D Page (VEMap3D.aspx)
The 3D page is identical to the drawing page except that there is no toolbar and no drawing. This page, of course, works with Virtual Earth's 3D plugin.
