• hostile17 "I'm not ready to publish yet"

  Is there any way for a smart content plugin to stop the publishing progress because it isn't ready yet eg it is busy doing some work to create something and hasn't completed Actually I think an exception is the right thing, although it would be better if we gave you a documented exception to throw and documented the behavior of Writer encountering that exception during GeneratePublishHtml(). I'll forward your feedback along to the appropriate people, thanks. If you could put a flag that i can set to cancel the publishing process into generatepublishhtml() that would be grand.. at the moment i have to throw an exception in there to cancel which is a bit ugly I think what would be good Joe, is f ...Show All

• Starfish2000 How to play wav through phone line?!

  I try to make a answering machin for pocket pc 2003. So I need to play wav through line when incomming call happend. How should I play wave files through lines ! You saw the answer in another thread which states it's not possible due to hardware limitations (restriction most likely mandated by carriers). By the way, the fact you can make answering machine for analog line does not mean you can make one on a cell phone. For example, some person can fly down, but that does not mean the same person can fly up. So you want to say that it is impossible to developing an Answering Machine software for Pocket PC 2003 !

• ideal24293 Writing EXIF Metadata in Windows Mobile 5

  I have a problem for embedding EXIF metadata information to a JPEG file in a PDA (using Windows Mobile 5). There's a good example to read EXIF metadata from a JPEG: http://www.pocketpcdn.com/forum/viewtopic.php t=6211 I can easily replace the command GetPropertyItem with SetPropertyItem, but what next Because in my opinion, these commands are applied in a memory stream and we have to save it into file if we want to embed the EXIF metadata to a JPEG file. Please help! Thank you in advance. You need to use IImagingFactory::CreateImageEncoderToFile. Once you got the IImageEncoderPointer, call GetEncodeSink on it and use IImageSink::PushPropertyItems to set property items Thank ...Show All

• GeneralCody Using return in a foreach statement

  Hello, I faced a strange (somehow resolved) problem with an exception being thrown without much explanations. I'd like to know if someone can point me to the article or specification talking of this behavior, since I didn't find anything yet and am pretty curious about it. I was messing around with the NETCF2 PocketOulook API and wrote a simple method to retrieve a PimItem in a collection given an itemId which looked like this: public PimItem GetItem( PimItemCollection collection, int itemId) { foreach ( PimItem item in collection) { int iId = int .Parse(item.ItemId.ToString()); if (iId == itemId) return item; } return null ; } When the itemId was correct for the collection and the corresp ...Show All

• sea2006 calling Form.ShowDialog() and then BeginInvoke

  On my UI thread, I am calling Form.ShowDialog for one of my form objects. Later, from a different thread, I am calling form.BeginInvoke(yadayada). As soon as I call begin invoke, the VS degugger shows the ShowDialog() line of code and shows the exception: ArgumentException. "ArgumentException was unhandled". In the documentation for ShowDialog it says that an ArgumentException is generated under this condition: "The form specified in the owner parameter is the same as the form being shown.". Are you not allowed to call BeginInvoke on a form that is being shown with ShowDialog() Now I am using Control.Invoke instead of Control.BeginInvoke for an unrelated reason, but that solves this i ...Show All

• thisiswhere setting zoom level dynamically

  hello, I am having from and to locations and I am able to display the driving directions between the two locations. but the points are coming very near. How can I set the Zoom level dynamically without hardcoding the zoom level value. thanks in advance PradeepA your best bet is to use the SetMapView to dynamically set it for you, passing in your locations. http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/ref/HTML/M_Namespace_VEMap_SetMapView.htm I think that uses the same logic to set the view as the route function. The issue there a finite set of zoom levels so the next one in/out may not quite work or the algorithm is set to side on the edge of safety to make sure its visible. You could do a latlon2pixel on the two poi ...Show All

If is slow just in 2D mode, I would suggest clearing your browser cache and see if that helps. If it slow only when viewing mashups (in other words, is maps.live.com slow ), then it may be some sloppy coding is causing a memory leak. Just some thoughts.
