• Senthil A Panning with polylines

  I've created an app that creates a polyline covering a large area and then pans around the map by calling map.Pan(1, 1) or something similar. This works well but on Firefox (and sometimes on IE) the polyline is not redrawn. I've got a workround in which I call GetCenter(), offset the result by one pixel and then call SetCenter() which triggers the polyline to redraw but I wondered if there's a better method There seems to have been an map.Update() method in past versions of the API that isn't in any more, is there a similar method in 3.1 Or a simple way of redrawing overlays Thanks, -- Marc Sutton Codev Ltd hey i am also seeing a similiar behaviour , polylines just dont appear on the map...any idea why ...Show All

• Juice Johnson BOTS on MSN

  There have been a number of questions about BOTS in the forum in various theads so I thought I would provide this post with a broader update on the topic. MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to enable a broad network of these IM applications integrated with other MSN services (Activity API, Search, etc.). To make sure our customers have the best experience with these applications and provide tools to the broadest number of companies seeking to build BOTS, we have started licensing ISV’s that build platforms with access to our protoco ...Show All

Hi thanks for the information. I am not sure if you are familiar with the Dundas Map Control but just wondering how this might compare The Dundas map control may have more features as it is a true .net control when added in as a reference. 1. Yes. It is just a javascript control, so you can use it with your favorite Web dev tools (including Notepad ). 2. The VE control does not current import SHP files directly, but I've found a free tool online that converts SHP file to GPX files. I then built a sim ...Show All
