It's opened ended but you would know the state based on user selection
and I would have county maps stored as "blobs" (special DB data type that
can handle images/graphics) in a table where the there would be a "State"
field and a "County" field plus a "Flag field" for the graphics. More fields
would be needed if one would try for a solution where any country can
be selected too.
I'd then retrieve programmatically all flags for a given state base when
the the state is selected on the page (ideally one would have some 3rd party
ActiveX control that outlines a country and the states within that allowes
the areas to be "painted" too.
A simpler but not as general approach would be to store the flag images
on a state by state basis in separate web folders.
Above is a high level outline of a general approach. Of course there's a
lot of detail to it.
If a $200 package can do it than that seems simple compared to the programming
time needed.

All,
Has any one try creating maps with dontnet - dynamically while serving
on the web? E.g. if I have maps of different counties and I want to
construct a map of the state using county maps - how would that be done
programmatically?
Is this worth doing or to use any off-the-shelf product if it costs
within 200/300 $.
Thanks,
