Hello,
This project is written in c#, I hope it will be usefull to anyone wishing to intergate the Api in to their own application - by using the controls directly or any of the code or ideas behind them.
The basis of the control library interaction is the COM Google Earth Plugin Type Library (plugin_ax.dll) converted into the equivalent definitions in a common language runtime assembly (Interop.GEPlugin.dll)
As this library uses the Google Earth Plug-in you should fully read the Google Earth APIs Terms of Service before downloading or using any of the code on this site. http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html
You can also view a much simplified example of embedding the plug-in in to an application, along with a Mac OS X version in the Google Earth API Demo Gallery: http://code.google.com/apis/earth/documentation/demogallery.html?searchquery=embedded
