What IDE/tool is used to develop the Azure Maps Code Samples? about azuremapscodesamples

The full code sample site was created in Visual Studio 2019, but mainly because of the one click option to deploy to Azure. You don't need anything fancy to create HTML pages. In fact, open up notepad on your computer, copy in the source code to the interactiveSearch.html file and save the file with an "html" extension. Then double click on the file to open it in a browser and you will see that app running.

Visual Studio code is a good option if you are looking for an IDE. If you are looking for something basic and don't need deployment and other automation tools, try out Notepad++. Its a great light weight editor that's fast. I use it all the time to manipulate data files.

The code sample project is a VS2019 solution. I used the "ASP.NET Web Application" project template for the whole site. For html pages, they are simple flat files. Simply add ".html" to a file. I f you look through the file types when adding a new file, there should be a html file template which is really basic. Here is a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PgqqTXbseRM

@rbrundritt Rick, thank you for your response. I in fact have that sample running successfully, with my own subscription ID.

My question rather is how that HTML page was created. You mention it was created using VS 2019. What project type was used?

I see an AzureMapsCodeSamples.csproj file in the repo, but given that the sample is an HTML file, I am not sure that is the correct item. I am well versed in VS and C#, but not in creating HTML/JS apps. I'd appreciate some handholding here.

Thank you again. Regards.
