• Darren_Yu Problem centering map on latlong

  The Virtual Earth map is not centering on the supplied latitude and longitude. The map positions the passed latlong higher than center. We want the map to exactly center on the latlong given at the original time of map load. How is this possible Example: http://thecaptainsmate.com/fullpage.php ckey=337 In the example Norfolk is the latlong entered. But the map result places Norfolk too high. VE docs: http://dev.live.com/blogs/virtual_earth/archive/2006/06/07/30.aspx How can this be resolved Thank you.

• dreameR.78 Windows Mobile 5.0 == Windows Mobile 2005?

  Hello everyone, I am learning developing C/C++ applications for Windows Mobile platform. I often met with the two confusing item, Windows Mobile 5.0 and Windows Mobile 2005. Are they the same thing -- means the next version of Windows Mobile 2003 thanks in advance, George What Ilya said is very true however some companies refer to WM 5.0 as WM 2005 - no idea why, wish they would stick to the official product name to stop making themselves and customers confused Thank you very much Ilya!       Ilya Tumanov wrote: Here's the link for embedded products, list of products is on the left.

• hariarla control.invoke

  Hi all. Can someone push or punch me in the right direction here Using the CF 2.0 I have an application that is doing an async poll of a TCP listener for data. When the data arrives, I want to update certain forms with the values. In a nutshell, The data arrives. I determine what type of data it is and where it should display. I populate properties of a class with the data. I then raise an event to signal the data is here and the properties have been populated. It is here where my problems start. Based on the the data I will determine what form I need to interact with. I need to call a sub from within that form to populate the controls on it. I was using invoke to call the sub , but the data would not display because the ...Show All

• pukla Disable ActiveSync Networking?

  How can I disable networking over ActiveSync There's no option in ActiveSync 4.1 to disable it. I need to debug a networking problem that only occurs using the device networking. When the device is plugged in to the PC and ActiveSync networking is used the bug doesn't occur. These steps don't work because I cannot connect to the device over IP without ActiveSync. The device doesn't have an IP address yet at the point where I need to debug it. Is there no other way In the hopes that someone from Microsoft is reading this... Why does this need to be soooo hard Why not just put back the option to disable ActiveSync networking I mean come on! This is the tail end of a long ...Show All

• JimmyS How to programmatically add pushpin layer (without GeoRSS feed or Live Maps)?

  I was disappointed to learn I can't (easily) create my own pushpin layer without having to reference an external (to my webpage) URL. Say I want to prompt the user to enter 5 addresses and then plot the 5 together all at once. I'd imagine being able to Find() the right lat/long for each person, add a corresponding pushpin to an array for each user, and then add the array of pushpins as a layer. I don't want to copy the data out to a separate URL for privacy reasons. Besides, I already have the data in memory, I just want to display it all at once as a pushpin layer! Right now I'm just having to sequentially add a new pushpin for each person. The map flashes around as I add each point. I can't group various pushpins together. Why isn't ther ...Show All

• Tryin2Bgood Best way to store coordinates in a DB

  Hi Everyone, Just wanted to get some ideas on what people see as the best way of storing coordinates in a DB (SQL, MySQL etc) It seems to me that a typical application may have to store millions of coords, especially if they are storing complex\large polygon arrangements. Is it really just a case of storing all the coords and crossreferencing them via an ID to other tables What are other people doing with this kind of stuff. thanks, SoS Thanks John. Once again you da man!! I'm using a SQL 2000 DB, hope to upgrade to 2005 sometime in 2007 In my tables i store the latitude and longitude as float (8), i actually call the fields "lat" and &q ...Show All

• RG1234 Custom popups in 3d don't dock to pushpins correctly

  I have created custom popups that dock a div to the pushpin location as described in other threads. This works fine in 2d, but in 3d the popups don't line up with the pushpins correctly. It appears that the x,y values are not correct being passed by the pushpin callback function. I have not yet found how to locate the pushpins through code to dock the div to. Has anyone figured out a work around to this yet other that randomly subtracting some value from the div placement. Marc Rempel I have hit the exact same issue last week Gascho. I am yet to solve it. For me I'm tring to get my custom popups to work in 3D, I have the "shims" working for other peices but it appears that the x and y in the callback function is off. ...Show All

• MJRP sockets communication

  Hi, I am using sockets, sometimes it work on the emulator and sometimes it hangs and cannot read the streams. would the same thing occur in the real device Kartit, you will need to take care of the fact that the Socket.Receive() call you used return an int indicating the number of bytes actually received. This value could be different from the size you pass to the call. In this case, multiple Socket.Receive() calls may be necessary to receive the entire data from the stream. Cheers, Anthony Wong [MSFT] Even if the file is downloaded WMP in PPC emulator says cannot perform the requested action, it seems that file is corrupted. I used this function byte ...Show All

• MaggieChan MD3DM mesh.Intersect

  Hi I am currently developing a project in c# and my focus is on manipulating a mesh of a human body, I need to get the point of intersection on the mesh from a ray using MD3DM. What I will eventually get it to do is highlight the selected area with a colour or image of some sort. From what I understand Mesh.Intersect() would allow this to be possible but this is not available in MD3DM. How do you suggest I go about getting the point of intersection on the mesh using MD3DM I am already using a bounding box, but this is just allowing the user to differentiate between the mesh and other areas of the screen and is not detailed enough for what I am trying to achieve. What would be the best approach I am doing this for my ...Show All

• adolmac Why no managed C++?

  I am wondering what is the specific reason why there is no support for managed C++ (CLR projects) in smart device development Is it because this area is not very popular and since most .Net programmers use C# and VB, MS figured the resources are better spent elsewhere Or is there some other, technical reason I have done plenty of Win32 and MFC development and I have no problem using Win32 (or should I say, the Windows API) for lower-level stuff (inter-process and thread synchronization and communication, system and hardware access, etc.) but MFC was really only good for GUI stuff and now that we have .Net, which can do that and so much more, I just don't want to have to go back.
