A. Yes, it can be programmatically accessed by virtually any development environment that conforms to the required standards. The MapPoint Web Service API is a standard SOAP XML-based Web service exposed through WSDL. So long as your development platform of choice supports SOAP web service standards, it can be used with MapPoint Web Service, Because the Map Control is a client side component run in the web browser, there is no dependency on the development environment. The control can be developed in any environment that can output standard HTML and JScript code for the client, even in environments that can only deliver static pages.
