• New-Bee Finding Jersey

  Hi, I'm trying to program a map that needs to find a postcode in Jersey (a Crown Dependency of the UK on the coast of France). I can find locations within the UK mainland fine using postcodes but Live Local and Virtual Earth don't seem to recognise Jersey (or any other Channel Islands) postcodes instead placing them in Surrey, UK! Does anyone know if there is a way to force the API to realise the postcode is refering to Jersey (I've tried things like JE2 3RQ,Jersey) or if this is just a bug with Virtual Earth Thanks, Matthew This works for me: "Jersey JE2 3RQ" Hi, Thanks for your advice. I tried various formats but for that one, it pops down a box to disam ...Show All

• ravichandratbv device emulator 2.0, Unable to map com port

  I'm launching the DeviceEmulator 2.0 Beta from the command line and I'm getting an Access Deined message using the /u0 COM1 flag. Hello, Unfortunately this is a code regression introduced in device emulator v2 beta which was caught post beta release. It is fixed for the future versions of Device Emulator releases. As a work-around, please remove the "/u0" switch from the command-line and after the emulator launch, use File->Config dialog to enable Serial Port binding. -Thanks, Mohit ...Show All

• Wayne Sepega Bug: VE4 and FF 1.0 pushpins offset wrong

  I know firefox 1.0 is old, and hopefully most users have upgraded, but we still need to support the absolute widest range of browsers found in the wild. I upgraded my mapping to use VE4, and found the position of custom pushpins was being offset incorrectly. I'm pretty sure it used to work correctly in VE3, as I would have noticed it. To repro the problem look at: http://www.mtb-routes.co.uk/northyorkmoors/default.aspx In FF 1.0, and notice how the pushpin popup is offset. It's fine in Firefox 2.0 and IE 6/7. ...Show All

• Mike Norman Customized datagrid column won't change colors of unseen rows when scrolled

  I was trying to change background colors of specific rows of my datagrid following this suggestion:   http://blogs.msdn.com/netcfteam/archive/2006/04/25/583542.aspx My application is an inventory counting program and I want to change colors of a rows by their specific value of a column (in this specific case, "DateLastCounted" column).  It worked fine except one problem. My datagrid has vertical scroll bars. When I ran the code, the rows of first screen showed exactly what I intended but when I scrolled down, background colors were never changed in any rows which were supposed to be changed.  I walked through codes in debug mode and I couldn't find any problem: It means every line in the overridden 'Paint' methods w ...Show All

• WXS123 I can debug on emulator, but I can't do it on device!

  -VS2005 SP1 -VB Project for a Windows Mobile 5.0 PocketPC Device If I set a breakpoint, the project breaks ONLY if the target is the emulator. If I try to debug on the device, the breakpoints turn from the "red ball icon" to a "red circle icon" with a small yellow warning triangle in it. The message over the warning is something like "breakpoint will not be used. The specified module has not been loaded". Is there something I can do Why this different behaviour from the emulator to the device The problem is not specific of my project: if I create a new one, with just a couple of lines, the problem is the same: I can debug on the emulator and I can't on the device.
