• Quilnux Daily Usage of VE

  Hi, My company has been buying MWS transactions for the last year and a half. We switched some of our maps over to VE (perhaps prematurely) and we're worried that as we increase volume we may hit the 5000 per day limit. This would be devastating as it's not so easy to determine when we hit the 5000 limit (to trigger a revert to the old MWS maps). That said, our MWS transaction provider indicated that there's a "Savings Account" that we should pay into to ensure we're compilant with VE commercial usage. He also said that there's currently no way to increase daily usage above the 5000 per day limit. This could really hamper our growth as we've begun to merge our application with the VE maps (i.e. move functiona ...Show All

• Corres Device Emulator for WinCE 5.0 / Platform Builder

• Lewis Horowitz Problems to open PR_BODY message property - CEMAPI

  Hello everyone, I am having a problem to get the email body from IMessage using CEMAPI in WM 5.0. My application is actually an extended menu item (implements IContextMenu COM interface) that takes part in the Inbox message menu. By selecting the extended/my menu item I open from code a cemapi session and I retrieve the selected message. I succeed to get the message properties without errors (e.g. PR_SUBJECT), but when it comes to PR_BODY the behavior is different. The following common code that I am using always returns 'MAPI_E_NOT_FOUND'. hr = pMsg->OpenProperty(PR_BODY, &IID_IStream, STGM_READ, 0,(LPUNKNOWN*)&messageStream); I looked over the web and I didn't find any solution for ...Show All

• GaryMcC Communication between Windows mobile and a server system with WiFi/GPRS

  Hi I'm investigating the different opportunities for communication between Windows mobile and a server system with WiFi/GPRS. The solution that I try to find is the one that is most suitable for communication over network where the connectivity is very poor, like GPRS communication. My system must be able to "puch" information from a server out to registered mobile devices... Do anyone know if Microsoft already have application/systems that handle the communication part (like ActiveSync, ISA-server) so I can concentrate on my own business functions Right now I'm investigate MSMQ, Sockets or WebServices. What is the best solution for mobile system that need to handle real "push" over wireless communication ...Show All

• CharlieRussell Creating controls for Datagrid

  how can i created controls for Compact Datagrid. I’m not sure what you mean by “controls for Compact Datagrid” but perhaps this would do. Well, go ahead and create them – you already have a sample on how to host controls in the grid. They just controls, by the way, there's nothing special about them. i just want to create extended controls for datagrid like the one you have created. ...Show All

• Jim_B Lack of precision when creating pushpins

  Hi, i just noticed, VE lacks precision concerning the lat lon values: pin= new VEPushpin(2, new VELatLong(54.9077601637691,8.31008861772716), "images/Bahnh”fe.gif" , 'Bahnhof Sylt' , '' );map.AddPushpin(pin); pin= new VEPushpin(3, new VELatLong(54.90776016376916754474),8.31008861772716654674), "images/Bahnh”fe.gif" , 'Bahnhof Sylt' , '' );map.AddPushpin(pin); both pins result in the same coordinates, 54.90776016376916754474 ^ the 7 is the last number VE interprets, the rest is cut off. Experiments with parseFloat didnt succeed either. Any ideas I don't think there is any workaround, as I suspect its the way the geocoder works.  If its calling a Mappoint Web ...Show All

• EvilOneSD Use of the Compact Framework

  How difficult (or how much different to a Windows App) is it to write a simple program to stream a file from WinCe.net or Windows Mobile to a network through a wireless connection My understanding that the compact framework is used, which is a subset of the .net framework. Can the app on the smart device update and insert records in SQL Server 2000 and/or MS Access 2000 like you can in .net How does the device access a network share to stream the file, as a VPN client What other options are there to do this Sockets Http Am I right in saying that Visual Studio Standard Edition has a emulator for WinCe and Windows Mobile for development Thanks in advance It's not difficult/different and has ...Show All

Yes, it's can be helpful, thanks :) I would really appreciate the possibility to (de)select all contacts in one click. Hi Kratpalm, I think it's likely that eventually the contacts control will add a "select all". The main factor to push that forward is for MS to see enough demand from legitimate (non-abuse) scenarios to outweigh th ...Show All

• -Raitz- How to update the pushpins location based upon live GPS data

  I am working on gathering real time GPS location data and displaying that on the map. I see we can add pushpins but I do not see a way to keep the location lat/lon up to date with current position data. Do I simply just update that pins' VELatLon or is ther another technique to do this Thanks Rich G i agree to john, thats exactly the way i do it. i reload the geo data via ajax in certain intervals like 15 seconds, then run a for loop, deleting the old pins and creating a new pins step by step, works perfectly. Thanks. I was afraid of that but as you point out it will work. I guess we need to add this to the enhancement queue! There is no way to change it that i'm aware of. You need to delete it ...Show All
