> What is the optimum VB.NET script to change an incoming point
> projected in Lat Long to Mercator.

Try this:

 Imports Manifold.Interop.Scripts
 Imports M = Manifold.Interop
 Class Script
   Shared Sub Main
     Dim app As M.Application = Context.Application
     Dim cnv As M.CoordinateConverter = app.NewCoordinateConverter()
     cnv.Prepare(app.DefaultCoordinateSystemLatLon, _
       app.NewCoordinateSystem("Mercator"))
     Dim pt As M.Point = app.NewPoint(10, 20)
     cnv.Convert(pt)
     app.MessageBox(pt.X & ":" & pt.Y, "Script")
   End Sub
 End Class

> We've been fooling about with this real time data flow incoming for
> too long, time to get it projected correctly in the database and avoid
> re-projecting multiple projections every time we serve an image.

An image?
