Packed with powerful AJAX interactivity, a simple API that makes coding easy, and royalty-free distribution, Map Suite Web Edition enables you to bring your Internet GIS application to market in record time.
The Core API documentation covers the ThinkGeo.MapSuite.Core namespace which resides in the MapSuiteCore.dll assembly. It contains all of the core GIS classes that are shared between the different Map Suite edition map controls and servers.
