• ChrisMcCabe Lack of precision when creating pushpins

  Hi, i just noticed, VE lacks precision concerning the lat lon values: pin= new VEPushpin(2, new VELatLong(54.9077601637691,8.31008861772716), "images/Bahnh”fe.gif" , 'Bahnhof Sylt' , '' );map.AddPushpin(pin); pin= new VEPushpin(3, new VELatLong(54.90776016376916754474),8.31008861772716654674), "images/Bahnh”fe.gif" , 'Bahnhof Sylt' , '' );map.AddPushpin(pin); both pins result in the same coordinates, 54.90776016376916754474 ^ the 7 is the last number VE interprets, the rest is cut off.

  Can anyone help in identifing the projection used in virtual earth to display.

• Luis Simões Displaying a loading... Form

  Hi, I am using socket communication and it takes some time to connect to the server. I want to display a form with a progress bar and till the response is received from the server, is it possible to do so Thanks Any sample code plz. well socket communications should be running on a thread as reading/recieving data will most likely make the UI looked hung/non responsive. So what you could do is when they hit "connect" to display a progress form, and when there is success in connection, to raise an event to close the progress form down. only once, to indicate that yes its connected, which you use a delegate method to talk to the UI But you ...Show All

• Alex Farber MainMenu

  Hi there, i have a form with a MainMenu, and i'm trying to solve 2 problems: 1) if i show a MessageBox, closing the message box, the menu disappears. Solution: whenever i close the MessageBox, i do a kind of a "reset" to the menu: - this .Menu.Dispose(); - this .Menu = this .mainMenu; Well, it works, but is it a good solution 2) i click on the menu, it opens the menu items, and then when i click one of the items, i have a event handler that makes something.

• nattylife Java & Windows Live Mesenger Compatibiliy Issues with Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit

  Ok! I hope someone out there will be able to give me a hand with respect to this issue! I've recently changed from XP over to Vista Ultimate X64 and I have to say I'm starting to get over (and rather frustrated) with the whole "WOW" experience that is Windows Vista! The lack of drivers I can live with but problems with software built by Microsoft is a whole over ball game. Specifically, what my problem relates to is that in connecting up to WLM, the program only takes me as far as the contacts menu before it subsequently crashes with only a pop-up box stating that "Windows Live Messenger has stopped working" whilst simultaneously attempting to obtain a solution of the internet which is consequently not forthcoming.
