• K F M Resources and performance

  I have several .wav files in my project (about 15). I would like to understand if putting them in the project's reource file can speedup their usage or if it is better to continue to keep them as just .wav files in a subdirectory. Many thanks in advance for your answer Probably it won’t. Besides, what exactly " speedup ” means for wave files, twice the playback speed In any case you can try it and see if it’s any faster.

LOL, sorry for my bad English So it seems it is the same speed for loading a file from a reso ...Show All

• dbdoc printing custom tile maps.

  Hi.. I am encountering a situation with printing the VEMap and I can not find a solution..so I hope one of you out there knows about this problem.. When I add custom layers (composed of transparent . png tiles containing visual information) from my server on top of the VEMap only the top layer of the map will print. The implementation of my server and client is described here http://www.viavirtualearth.com/vve/Articles/RollYourOwnTileServer.ashx Only the last added layer will print. The odd thing is that if I try to print preview it, it behaves correctly and it displays the whole map with its added layers... if I try to print it though.. it prints just the last added layer. Any clues or help are very welcome!! Thanks ...Show All

Also, what happens if the person just has the default windows messenger (with windows XP) and cannot click on my icon to access my live space.

• SSlovensky How to load new pushpins depending on my map location

  This might be an obvious question so please bare with me. I want to be able to have push pins loaded asynchronously as I move around the map. So if i have 20 pushpins in one state and 20 in another, I obviously only want to see the 20 while i'm in that state, but as I scroll or pan to the next state i only want those other 20 pushpins to be loaded as I move to that location. Can someone point me to an example of this as i figure this would be an obvious scenario, I just haven't been able to find a good example. You will simply use AJAX to make the call to your aspx page with the given bounds of your current view. I highly recommend using this approach. http://viavirtualearth.com/VVE/Articles/Clustering.as ...Show All

• svxtc Question for Ilya Tumanov

  You closed this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=555177&SiteID=1 Let me firstly say that I appreciate your attempts to help by commenting on my threads. Thank you. But could you please consider the effect of closing peoples questions without soliciting their permission first. Browser based applications running on smart devices with a local server should be placed in the smart devices general topic area, and not in asp as you suggest. No-one in the asp forums is likely to join a thread about smart devices. So I think your assertion was wrong. I also think it impolite to close a thread without even asking first. There is more discussion to be had on the capabilities of the pda local web serve ...Show All

• drinkwater 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
