Form from another project

[JB]

I have an asp.net application that goes to a database and displays data
from that database on maps.

In a completely different project I also collect data and would like to
map it, rather than recreate the map application in to my new
application I would like to have my new application open up an instance
of the existing map application, give it the data and the map
application handle it from there.

My problem here is that while I can do this by simply opening a new map
form in JavaScript with a URL something like:

http://www.domain.com/Map.aspx?Lati...23&Latitude=112.12&Longitude=12.356&Lat...etc.......

I potentially have thousands of Latitudes and Longitudes and so this
URL would become excessive. So what I want to know, is there some
other means of me getting the latitude and longitude data to the map
form, bearing in mind both applications will be on the same webserver
in the same domain. It would be nice for example if in my new
application I could say:

Dim f as new ..\MapApplication\Map.aspx
f.GeoData = myData
f.Show

Any advice/suggestions appreciated.

If the server can run a database, then issue a sql command to put the info
into a ##TEMP table. The launching map display can then read from the
tables. The table name would have to include a timestamp and username and
the launched form would get the info about the tablename so it could get the
data. Should work easy unless the server is not running a sql database.
You can also replace each the lat long value with a 16bit binary angle which
can save string memory. like Map.aspx?LL=1122abcd would be hex for binary
lat of 1122 and the long would be abcd. So 1000 lat long's would be only
1000*8 characters in length.

That sounds like a good idea.

Thanks.
