Today, I released a new white paper and online sample application that shows how to build a custom zoom bar in a web application using the Map Suite Web Edition.   This question of a zoom bar comes up a lot with our users, so I thought it would be beneficial to put together a simple sample application and show how to hook it all together using the built-in AJAX functionality of the ASP.NET map control.  Although this example was based on the Map Suite Web Edition, the same concepts apply for implementing a custom zoom bar in the Map Suite Desktop Edition.

Below is a screen shot of what the sample application looks like; it's pretty simple but provides a great start if you want to build your own zoom bar.  Also, if you have any topics that you would like to see in a white paper, please feel free to add your suggestions to this blog entry.
