[Freegis-list] GIS ASC

[Satya]

Hi,

www.cardcorp.com sells a product called "Cadcorp SIS" - Spatial Information System. 
They also sell an ASC (Active Server Component) which allows the user to embed spatial data and GIS functionality into standard Internet Browsers.
It is a 32-bit COM Server side application,which allows a programmer to create tools, useable in Internet Browsers, to perform GIS functions such as ‘Zoom In’, ‘Select a record’, ‘show the nearest’ and so on.
This product is very costly ....around 5000 UK pounds per server installation !!!

Are there any free components like cardcorp.com's SiS-ASC
that I can use in my ASP code ?
Or perhaps a cheaper one.

I would appreciate any help on the same.


thanks,
Satya.
