• piip how many pushpins can I add?

  OK - I am fairly new to all this - and I have already wasted a couple of days trying to figure out the yahoo maps API to add custom mappoints/pushpins to their service, only to find out that they limit you to 200 points (which of course they disclose nowhere) - I need more like 4000 all over the US. Is this something Virtual Earth can handle, and if so, what would be the way to go about it All locations have a LAT/LON and a site nr. that is it. Thanks I haven't used GeoRSS feeds for a long time. But since they automatically make all the results appear in the same view and there is no client side clustering i would say this is a good guess. Clearly faster machines with more memory are going to handle this better. Why not do a sim ...Show All

• Terry Downing DataReceived/SerialPort Troubles

  I am building code for the PocketPC to interface with a chemical sensor to poll and report on chemical agents in the air. I am having a devil of a time getting the DataReceived event to pass content (through an Invoke) to the main thread. When I write an "N" to the device, it is supposed to send back the following string to the UI, which represents the chemical sensor types that are housed in the unit: "CO VOC H2S LEL OXY" When I send an "R" to the device, it is supposed to send the current readings for each of the sensors as a string that looks like this: "00000 00000 00000 00000 00207". I have all of this working successfully as a WIN32 application, but it doesn't port cleanly to the .NET 2 ...Show All

• abi Best way to transfer/sync files to multiple devices?

  Hi everybody! I just wanted to ask you how you would go about making a single PC workstation transfer/sync files to multiple PDAs (multiple PDAs connected to the same PC at the same time) Since ActiveSync only supports one device at a time I guess this is out of the question I would like to avoid transfering files over WiFi as that will add one extra thing to worry about/configure when installing this system. At least syncing over a WiFi router, I’m thinking about Ad-Hoc communication though... but if there’s any other way to do it, that would be the way. I’m trying to keep it as simple as possible. Anybody have a suggestion /Simon edit: is it possible to turn off active sync, and somehow transfer files using the SerialPort class over th ...Show All

• praomn Map.getAddressFromClickedLocationOnMap()???

  Hi, Is there a method like the above I can get the latitude/longitude, but it would be nice to get the address somehow. Thanks, se I like it when i can answer several different questions with the same answer.... What your after is reverse geocoding, pass in a lat and long and get the address. VE doesn't support it currently, it would be really nice if it did. You can use the MapPoint web service to do it. As it is the same mapping data the results are really good. The only trick is as part of that service you have to pass in the correct region or else you will get something very basic as the default is Nth America. You can sign up for free account and test it out but be aware they curre ...Show All

• Mansoor Ali Loading a GeoRSS Line

  I am trying to display a path with several thousand points that would be saved in a GeoRSS file. I have several questions: 1) Can VE load a Simple GeoRSS line such as follows <georss:line> 47.68557 -122.48971 47.68589 -122.48983 ... many more points ..... 47.78449 -122.54008 </georss:line> 2) If the above is not readable by VE, is there a recommended format for this 3) Are there any performance tricks I should be aware of in order to speed up the loading and zoom/pan operations Thanks for the help.

• Callavin Scanning SDK in Compact Framework Issue

  Hi all, I have found an issue with the Imaging/Scanning SDK that the Compact Framework uses and would like to report this issue with Microsoft. How exactly do I go about do this Thanks Tryst Hi, and thanks for the reply, Alex. I have actually raised this with Symbol, who then raised it with their second-line support teaM who were looking at it over a couple of days. TheY came back to me and said "The reason why their scanning API requires x amount of memory on their MC50 device was related to the Compact Framework". I guess I need to get back in touch with Symbol to see what part of the Compact Framework their Imaging/Scanning API uses.
