• KJohnson530 Adding multiple Pushpins causes delay.

  If I add 500 or more pushpins to a map using map.AddPushpin(newPin) api function with a custom image the entire map lags for several minutes while it adds them. I noticed VE does a HTTP GET back to the server for every pin added. Is there a way to cache the image so VE doesn't have to do a roundtrip GET http://localhost/testsite/images/mypin.gif 304 Not Modified GET http://localhost/testsite/images/mypin.gif 304 Not Modified GET http://localhost/testsite/images/mypin.gif 304 Not Modified ...

  I am using Windows Mobile 5.0 and building a CF 2.0 SDK application in VS 2005. When I run the application and/or the Windows CE Remote Process viewer to test the emulation device using the WM 5.0 Pocket PC VGA emulator or any other WM 5.0 emulator the pc hangs and i have to reboot my pc.  I can't see anything wrong with the installs of WM 5.0.  Why would my pc lock-up when I test the device emulator using Windows CE Remote Process viewer Should i not get an error first Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.   Unfortunately, a hang on your PC almost always points to a driver or hardware as the culprit. I'm glad that windiag didn't report any problems, as that means the problem is most likely a ...Show All

• Omar Fawzi Get address on user click

  Hi, I've just started using Virtual Earth... It's possible to get the address from the clicked point Thanks! Nice implementation. Care to share how you went about it for others I notice its only for the US. John. Hi, You can't get an address but you can get the latitude and longitude by attaching an event to the map. map.AttachEvent( "onclick", OnMapClick ); } function OnMapClick(e) { alert( "Latitude = " + e.view.LatLong.Latitude + ", Longitude = " + e.view.LatLong.Longitude + ", Zoom = " + e.view.zoomLevel ); } Not sure how this would help you find an address though.

• Igor2004 Listview Problem

  Hi, We are working on a PocketPC application in VB.net on Compact Framework 1.0. The main module has a ListView on which other sub-modules are listed as items. On the click of the items the corresponding sub-module is launched. When we exit from the sub-module we get back to the main module with listview visible. The issue : When any item is clicked, the item gets highlighed with blue color. Then, the sub-module is launched. On exiting from the sub-module we get back to the main module. Now the problem is that ListView retains a blue border around the last selected item. How can this blue border be avoided I want the List View to appear as before (Initial state, without any extra blue col ...Show All

• WalangAlam uploading file automatically

  Is there way to automatically upload a file when the CE device is docked in its cradle can i write to a shared/mapped folder on the PC that the CE device is connected to or am i limited to that PC any examples Thanks, Dan You may try using alternative approach:developing a desktop application, which is started when the device is cradled The desktop app then may copy the file from the device to the desktop into a local folder. The way to do this is by using RAPI - See this example of using OpenNETCF.org RAPI wrapper http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/dotnet_compact_framework_deployment.asp - Read this document about auto-starting a desktop application when the device is cradled http://msdn.microsof ...Show All

• akram badr VE within an .aspx page

  Has anyone been able to successfully use Virtual Earth with ASP.NET I can load a map in an aspx page, but then I get an IE exception saying IE can't navigate to that page. If I copy the same code, remove the asp.net controls, and name the file test.html, it works fine. Any suggestions Alright, I think I see what's up. Drop the RegisterStartupScript all together, and put that js in-line with where you have the label. We'll work backwards from there if that renders. Yeah, I have the same function call from the body.onload event and everything works fine. I'd say it's IE complaining about the timing of the script call (you can duplciate this by trying to manipulate other objects within the DOM befor ...Show All

• Juszluv87 Problem trying to consume a web service behind a web service proxy

  I am hitting a rather critical bug regarding consuming a web service on a mobile device that is sitting behind a web service proxy (Jaxview). My device is able to see the wsdl of the service (on IE) and it is able to send a request to the service, but on the response I get the error below. The response is processed just fine if I bypass the proxy but that is not an option in my environment. I also have been capturing the tcp traffic to confirm that the proxy is indeed sending back valid xml responses to my request and it is. I am really at a loss as to why I am getting this error.
