Hello!
I've been working with the Virtual Earth API and I love it! However, I've noticed that every once in a while I will receive this exception in the Global.asax:
Exception Message:
System.Web.HttpException: The file '/veapi.ashx' does not exist.
at System.Web.UI.Util.CheckVirtualFileExists(VirtualPath virtualPath)
at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile)

at System.Web.HttpApplication.MapHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute()
at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
Has anyone encountered this before So far everything seems to be working fine - but I still would like to know what's going on and why this exception is occuring.
Any info is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jared,
Thanks for your reply. I'm hoping it's something like that too. It happens rarely so it's not that huge of a deal, but know the old addage ... an ounce of prevention ....
In any case, if I discover any thing new I will post it here.
