In the VB template, edit the Toolbars CurrentTool property to use "MapPan". Alternatively, the Default.aspx could be edited directly to change CurrentTool="MapZoomIn to "CurrentTool="MapPan".If the user wants the default tool to be MapZoomIn they can also leave the Toolbars CurrentTool property as is and use JavaScript to set the zoom in tool to be the default startup tool: var map = $find('Map1'); map.set_mouseMode(ESRI.ADF.UI.MouseMode.ZoomIn);
