• xxxmpsxxx VB and Messenger Live

  Is it possible using VB6.0 to "connect" with Messenger Live to send out a message to either individual or a group of contacts The reason for the questions is that I have an in house program that needs to delete a file and then recreate it but I keep running into an issue with access issue since other users have the file open. I want to be able to have my program broadcast a message out to the users to close the file. Thanks in advance for the help. Unfortunately you are looking for assistance for doing this in VB6, a language that Microsoft no longer supports and one that is not intended for help on this forum. You may however want to look into VB.NET Express for such a project as it off ...Show All

• jluce List of available pins

  Hi, I've just started with developing in VE. I'm creating an application that takes GPS data from a pda (using TomTom navigator), sends this back to a little server and then displays the direction, location, speed and user on Virtual Earth. I would like to have a different icon based on the direction of travel. Is there a standard set of icons associated with Virtual Earth and, if so, where can I find them Regards Pete Hi, Thanks for the advice. I'll fire up psp and make some arrows though my graphics abilities are not good. I intend to offer a lite version for free. This will only show the current position of up to 3 users and not offer any playback. The TomTom addon curre ...Show All

• C Senthil Kumar Problem with Device Emulator

  Hi, I encountered a problem with Device Emulator in VS2005. When I open Device Emulator Manager, I found nothing in the treeview except a single "other" node. And when I debug an application, the Device Emulator could not be connected. But It works well days before. Very appreciate you to help me. Does this solves your problem -Thanks, Mohit I'm in a similar situation. I installed eVC++ 4 after installing VS 2005, but realized a few weeks later I needed eVC++ v3 for some legacy stuff that wouldn't compile under v4. So I one-by-one uninstalled all SDKs for embedded devices, all emulators, etc (but not VS 2005). I then installed eVC++ v3 whic ...Show All

• zde Sample: MSN AddIn - Outlook Calendar

  Description A simple msn live addin that will integrate with Outlook Calendar. Set it up so that it's enabled when my status is anything other than "online" or "appear offline". Now when someone sends you a message the addin will check outlook to see if you currently have any appointments and reply with something like this: [15:33] dan (work): Auto-Response: I am currently in a meeting (test) scheduled to end at 4:00 PM If no appointments are found no reply is sent. The addin also keeps an internal list of users that it has replied to so that it doesn't send out the same info more than once to each person. This list is reset when the status is changed back to online. As with the text-to-speech sample I posted the oth ...Show All

• cmwith Memory requirements for Compact Framework v2.0 and SQL Server Mobile

  Hi, I'm looking for some information on the memory requirements of installing the compact framework v2.0 and SQL Server Mobile onto a mobile device. What would be the minimum RAM/ROM requirements for the mobile device for installing both Thanks NETCF V2 is about 6 MB uncompressed/2 MB compressed. SQL Mobile core is about 1.5 MB uncompressed/.6 MB compressed. SQL Mobile replication support is about .7 MB uncompressed/.3 MB compressed. You need that amount of storage in order to install - PPC 03 compresses storage, WM 5.0 does not. Plus you need storage for your database, up to 4GB. RAM needed in order to run depends greatly on your application, could be as little as 2MB. Store your data in memory in DataSet o ...Show All

• Andrew Buyan Image search?

  Looks like my posting about Image Search was deleted (not sure why). All I'd like to know is this: when, if ever, will image search be implemented Thank you. Frank, Thanks for the tip. This may very well be the reason why they have yet to provide this API. Although, when this group was first created, some of the Microsoft API team would post here, and they did indicate that image search was coming. I get the sense that the API services idea is no longer a priority inside Microsoft. Too bad. Competition is good, but Microsoft never really produced an API that could go head to head with the Yahoo API. I think Yahoo must've lowered their limit. I think they were once 10k. ...Show All

• I.You Securing SQL Mobile Connection Password (Encryption)?.

  Hi All, I have a mobile application developed using the .NETCF2.0 in C#.  I have a SQL mobile database that is password protected.  The password will remain static and I want the password to be hard coded within the application assembly.  Now I could just use a constant but the problem (from a security prospective) is that it is readable from within the assembly (I think) and in memory.  I could manually encypt the password and store the result in the constant instead.  I could then decrypt it at run time.  Is there a better way   Also, I've not done encyption in .NET whats the best way to do it using .NETCF2.0 Any guidance would be appreci ...Show All

• alwisha Smart device web service client

  Hi! I can't get web service client working using Visual Studio 2003 (either VB.NET or VC#). I created a web service in Java, and published to Glassfish (aka Sun App Server 9). Tested using his web interface, works like a charm. Then I've created a Visual C# Windows application, added a web reference and either methods that return bool and complex objects works - I was amazed! So, I've created a new Visual C# Smart App project, added a web reference. When I complete this task, and try to compile, I get: D:\newPP\SmartDeviceApplication3\Web References\usuario\Reference.cs(36): 'System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute' does not contain a definition for 'Form' and so on!

• ChristopherN Control.Refresh method doesn't work on Compact framework

  I am porting an application to the compact framework and make use of the Refresh method in order to make sure my controls are invalidated and repainted. This has the desired effect in the normal .NET Framework 2.0 but in the compact framework a call to a controls Refresh method doesn't seem to refresh any child controls belonging to that control (which is as I understand it the whole idea of refresh). The only way I could make it work is by overriding the refresh method and in the new method call all the child controls' refresh method. This means that I must override the refresh method for every control that contains child controls and if I use the code on the normal FrameWork the controls get painted twice (once for the base.Refresh ...Show All
