I think you can make an ActiveX control with wxPython -- can a ,net app 
embed an active X control?

On the other hand, maybe it would make more sense to port FloatCanvas to 
IronPython. I'd have to look at the code with that in mind, but I can't 
imagine that the WinForms or whatever API doesn't support what's needed.

With a very quick glance at SharpMap's web site, it looks like it is 
similar to MapServer and Mapnik. Which means that is is designed to be 
easy to produce very nice looking maps, and to make it easy to access a 
wide variety of geo-spatial data sets. However, they re not really 
designed to be used for truly interactive applications.

I fit is like this, then you may be able to use sharpmap in a different 
way - have it render a basemap once (perhaps defined by user 
preferences) then just use that basemap as a raster background, and draw 
the red dot (or whatever is changing) on top of the raster. Usually on 
little bit of the map is changing fast, so why re-render the whole thing 
each frame?


You might also look for a general purpose 2-d object canvas in .net. 
That's what FloatCanvas really is, there may be something that meets 
your needs.

Or just dump .net already!
