Hi all,

I'm working on an application which based on the EARTHLib library, it enables me to interact with Google Earth (not maps), but the malfunction is when I want to get the revelation for a placemark, so is there any way to get it using Google earth api or any other way using .NET?
-------
Update:
To make it absolutely clear... I need to obtain elevation (height from sea level) at a placemark as a variable just using google earth not google maps.

My application is something similar to this:

When you say "malfunction" what is the error? It may also help to post the code that is giving you the error

Thanks for your reply.
No I mean that there is no methods to get such a parameter like elevation (as I know!). so when I explored EARTHLib, I didn't find it.

Thank you, looks interesting but actually I found it a little tricky for me,but why getting it isn't as simple as getting the lat and lon? especially it's listed next to them on the google earth camera viewer?.... so is there any method to get it without using any third party reference? and if there isn't could you please refer to a sample code?.
Thank you.
