The Carbon Project is pioneering innovative .NET technologies that make location-based information accessible and usable to everyone, everywhere.

Our flagship product, CarbonTools PRO, is a powerful and extensible software development toolkit that enhances the Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 to support advanced location content handling and sharing. Based on Source-Handler-Data™ technology, CarbonTools provides a unified API for geospatial interoperability with an array of location content and services. This means Microsoft Virtual Earth, Google Earth, Yahoo Maps, OGC web mapping, GML, ESRI Shapefiles and more can be used in your open-geospatial .NET applications…seamlessly!

The Carbon Project also develops the ground-breaking CarbonCloud peer-to-peer (P2P) extension framework. CarbonCloud lets you develop P2P geosocial networking applications to create, share and search location content.

With CarbonTools and CarbonCloud, .NET developers can extend existing geospatial systems with new capabilities and content sources or build exciting new open-geospatial .NET applications.
