• SmileSmita Humongous Javascript Api File.

  Hi, I am using v4 of the virtual earth control. But each time I open the page to view the map, it takes an age to load. I've used fiddler to detect the file sizes, and it seems the main file with the core script in it is 436,179 bytes, which seems huge. http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js -- 168 http://maps.live.com/veapi.ashx v=1.3.1115150037.31 -- 436,179 Also the files are set to not cache, which means the files have to be downloaded each time! I checked the files for maps.local.live.com and it does not download one big file, but instead multiple small files. Ive summed the bytes for the whole page, which comes to about 582,228, but the actual mapping components only seem to add up to ~178,000 bytes, which ...Show All

• walsher Don't get it

  I cant get the gadget to work. I did what the instructions said but cant get it to work http://www.izonnet.se/msntest.php/ Sorry but I still cant get it to work. what can be wrong.. Thomasarg, That's what the channel.htm does - it does its work in the page load event then redirects the browser to about:blank.  This is necessary to reset the trigger for the next event, since some browsers won't fire a page load event if the new URL is the same as the previous URL. To download the channel.htm file, open the URL in something other than a browser, such as Notepad.  Start Notepad, File: Open, and type in http://dev.live.com/scripts/AddressManager/c ...Show All

• Aoeuid Form inheritance

  I have to have form2 inheriting all the methods and variable in form1. but I don't want to have the graphical stuff from form1. how to by pass that because when i specify form2 inherit from form1 and run the program, it shows on the graphical components of form1 on form2. If you think there is a problem with your inttelisense you can delete the .ncb file in your project directory with the project closed. When you reopen your project the intellisense will rebuild itself. It's kinda silly that we don't have the ability to disable that. but im sure theres a way to do it. In Form2's Load event, you could set Visible = False for the controls you don't want to see. M ...Show All

• elodie23 time function

  Hi, I'm new to C++ and I am writing a project in it that I want to build on both Windows CE and VxWorks, so I am compiling the project in both MS Visual Studio and Wind River Workbench. There are a number of places in the app where I want to get the current date and time (number of seconds since 1/1/1970) but I can't figure out how to make it work! From what I can tell, time(time_t * timer) is the way to go, but while this compiles fine for VxWorks, when I compile it for Windows I get a strange linker error which says that there are unresolved externals in the function that contains the call to time(). Help! (Thanks in advance!) Rachel Apparently, the old time functions arent implemented in the ...Show All

• _CN_ Limiting results to one domain or a set of explicitly defined domains

  I would like to limit the web search results to the particular Web site domain that the api is implemented on. So that all the results return will belong to this domain. I can manually filter the results by the result Url property but because of the limit on the number of results being returned I will have to make consecutive requests to the search server until I have completely checked all results or until a tempory collection of results reaches a length equal to the total results per page limit. In addition to the above mentioned issue. There is this request per day limit of 10,000 requests. if every search request cannot return more than 50 results per page (on average) a 50,000 item result set will take up 5000 requests of the 10 ...Show All

• Pete_M Longitude, latitude problem

  I have been using the virtual earth control and have a couple of questions. I would like the map to initially focus over Turkey in Europe. I would then like to place a push pin over the city of Instanbul. My question is how do I find the longitude and latitude of this country and city so I can use the map control Or is there another way of doing it without knowing the longitude and latitude Thanks Danny There is an easier way, the map object got a method called 'Find' map.Find("","Istanbul,1,myCallback); the callbackfunction gets an array of VEFindResults or an array of VESearchResults, which one depends on the search parameters.

• Billr17 WISH LIST FOR THE NEXT RELEASE

  Lets start a wish list for the features we want for the next release. My numba one wish is: I want the Altitude of the center of the map in the view object of the .onchangeview Event. Well, 1.id like more performant map-servers. The google-maps map-servers seem to deliver the map-tiles much faster than the VE-map-servers. 2.id like to have the option to choose between 2 ways of zooming: the default behaviour where the an empty tile is displayed until the map-tile of the new zoomfactor is loaded and the google maps style behaviour where the old map tile is scaled up/down until the new tile is loaded, so there are no empty tile-blocks while loading the new graphics. Yep, we're listening. I've been quiet lately ...Show All
