Hello everyone I was wondering if anyone could answer this question for me.
I am creating a wm app and for part of it i want some information from googlemaps, the maps api is in java and i was thinking of ways to incorperate this into my app. Can i create a java program to get data from google and have my c# program run the java program and get info from it? I could write my program totally in java but i don't like the way i have to first start the vm and launch my program from that is there a way to automate this? also I need quite a lot of information from the phone so using c# will make getting this info easier.

or are there any other ways i might be able to get the info I want, I don't really know anything about applets but could they somehow be used?

oh btw the specific data i want is distance between to map locations (via googles route not direct)

many thanks i hope comeone can help
