• mammoo So many Forms Issue Still not solved :(

  I have a Pocket PC Chat application where i need to open so many forms for private chat sessions. The problem I faced was that when I opened a few form I saw and instance in Task Manager. For 10 opened forms I saw 10 Instances. To work around on it I came to the solution that I have to have Text only on 1 Window of application at a time. So I wrote 2 classes: 1) A FormBase class from which all my forms are inherited: public partial class BaseFormCommSuiteMobile : Form { private string uniqueID; public BaseFormCommSuiteMobile() { InitializeComponent(); this.uniqueID = Guid.NewGuid().ToString(); } public string UniqueID { get { return this.uniqueID; } } pr ...Show All

• ccrockatt Redeploys DLLs Every Time

  I'm using VSTS to develop an application for Windows Mobile 5 devices. All my DLLs are redeployed every time I hit F5, even if no changes. Is this a known problem Are there any workarounds I am using Visal Studio 2005 standard, I guess I am assuming VSTS would the same features or more features. Yes you are correct, it's the solution explorer. Once you select the dll file you should see it in your properties, third from the top. No, not doing unit tests, just a standard app with a bunch of DLLs. I've since learned that I can uncheck Deploy in the Configuration Manager for each project. Perhaps this is standard behavior. I was assuming that Visual Studio would not redeploy things that hadn't change ...Show All

• Computer Guy69146 Relation of Map Point to Virtual Earth - can someone explain?

  I've been trying to get my head around this concept. What is the relation between Map Point and Virtual Earth If we want maps as a server-side only solution (no internet connection) would we use Map Point Does Map Point ship with a Virtual Earth style .js interface or would we have to build our own Any clarification would be greatly appreciated. Map Point and VE share the same data. Map Point is called through a web service, server side. It therefore is more compatible and runs under SSL. The key difference is Map Point generates an image on the fly including all data overlayed while VE using pre-rendered tiles and overlays objects using html. VE is much slicker and performs real ...Show All

• Fippy hide virtual earth logo and

  does anyone know how to remove the virtual earth logo on the bottom left corner of the map and also the map ruler on the bottom right corner, thank you! yuki I'm not sure your allowed too It is very annoying when a pushpin is under the logo and a user clicks and gets the local.live.com popup. mmm it can be done but you should confirm that it is allowed first. john. You should definitely check the Terms of Use , especially #4. You can't legally alter/remove/modify/etc the logo. I think you might be able to do so with a commercial account, but I don't know for sure. If you are interested in that, email maplic (at) microsoft.com to find out more. Cheers, Caleb ...Show All

• Jerry Sully Scroll Form in Smartphone

  Hi guys, is other than setting the property AutoScroll to true I need to implement other thing in order to scroll the form that contains controls I have a label on the form, I see the scroll bar, but even that the label size is exceeds the form borders I can scroll the form.. thanks for any suggestion, Oren. Another thought for the NetCFv3 team. Why not make use of holding down the up/down arrow. As is this flicks between the controls and loops around the top. Rather it should smoothly scroll up and down, the focus only changing when the new control comes into view. Doesnt that sound like a good idea Hi Tom, I have also faced a similar pr ...Show All
