• David Graton "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. I think what would be good Joe, is for an event handler similar to the HTMLcapture event handler... 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 ha ...Show All

• ALFKI Check for land / disable zoom

  Hey I have 2 questions, that I'm hoping you can help me with. 1. Is it posible to determine if a specific position is land or water 2. Is it posible to disable the mouse wheel zoom function Or just disable zoom 1. You should be able to use the MapPoint web service method "GetLocationInfo" to figure out if a given location is over land or water given the "Entity" it returns. Not a built in VE function, but still pretty easy to use. 2. Can you trap the mouse wheel event at the page level in a page and cancel the bubble I'm not a Javascript guru, but I thought this might be possible Regards, Dave Hi Bart I haven't got the time to work on it yet, so I'm st ...Show All

• ACCOUNTINGONLINE.US Convert a bitmap to an icon in compact framework for ppc2003

  Hi Everyone, I am trying to convert a imagelist image (a bitmap) to an icon so that I can use the graphics class to draw it with transparency. However I cannot work out how to convert a bitmap into an icon - I've found samples like this: Bitmap bitmap = new Bitmap(16, 16); [..] Icon icon = Icon.FromHandle(bitmap.GetHicon()); But this doesn't work as GetHicon is not supported in the CF. Any suggestions Regards Mike Oleary And yet it’s probably better than a hack you’ve been about to introduce. Not to mention that hack could not possibly work even on desktop since after icon is converted to bitmap transparency mask is lost and converting bitmap back to icon won’t restore it. Anyway, ...Show All

• DaveThompson how to send SMS on compact framework

  how to send SMS on compact framework hi, look this sample how to send sms using .net compact framework using Phone API. best regards, If you are using a Windows Mobile 5.0 device, use the class SmsMessage . Hi huzaifa, in this case, you don't need compact framework. You will need to connect the phone to the PC by USB or serial port, and then from your desktop application connect to the phone and use it as GSM Modem to send the SMS you want, but you must know how to connect to the phone by means of AT commands, or just use a 3rd party free component from the internet to do this for you. i did this before with my Nokia 6150 cell phone before, and it worked.

• Jean-Pierre Fouche Map Control: What is legal?

  We are having a bit of trouble understanding the legal stuff for Virtual Earth. What we want is a very small internal system that simply displays a map with pushpins/custom icons. The system has a very small number of transactions daily. By internal system, we mean used by 3 people internally in a company. The site must not be accessible to the public. Can we do this free, or will we have to purchase a license That is really disappointing in MS. I understand they don't want to deal with small companies but not when Partners are not allowed to supplied licensing to small companies. Currently there is no reseller plan in place they tell me.
