Thunder2002 Legal issues with Google AND MS?
Does anybody know if there are any legal issues of using both the Google Maps API and Live Local N,W,S,E map view API in a website Thanks Crpietschmann! Neither of the Terms of Use for Google Maps and MS Virtual Earth mention anything about using them along side one another; as far as I can tell. But don't take my word for it; I am not able to offer legal advise. You should read over the Terms of Use for both for yourself to draw your own conclusion. MS Virtual Earth terms of use: http://www.microsoft.com/virtualearth/control/terms.mspx Google Maps terms of use: http://www.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html ...Show All
Jafar Bhatti Out of date pictures!!!
Service is a good concept. However, seeing the 3D image of tall buildings thought I would take a look at the landmarks where I work and how they look. I work in the city of London so was wanting to see how the Swiss Re tower (the gherkin) would look. This is located on St Mary Axe. A search here however reveals the old site which had yet to be built on. This must've been years ago meaning the photos are out of date. It wouldn't be such a problem if the building wasn't such an integral part of the London skyline as we know it now! If anyone doesn't know what i'm talking about go to http://www.30stmaryaxe.com/index2.asp and anyone who's been or seen pictures of what little skyline London has will recognise it and hopefully see my point.

Joy Conner Why no managed C++?
I am wondering what is the specific reason why there is no support for managed C++ (CLR projects) in smart device development Is it because this area is not very popular and since most .Net programmers use C# and VB, MS figured the resources are better spent elsewhere Or is there some other, technical reason I have done plenty of Win32 and MFC development and I have no problem using Win32 (or should I say, the Windows API) for lower-level stuff (inter-process and thread synchronization and communication, system and hardware access, etc.) but MFC was really only good for GUI stuff and now that we have .Net, which can do that and so much more, I just don't want to have to go back. And I'm really not looking forward to learning C# - not that ...Show All

chandrala perform MD5 encrypting
Hello every body, i'm developing an application on windows mobile 2003 using VS2003 and compact framework 1.0. My app requires encrypting password by MD5 algorithm but i'm not sure it's supported in Compact Framework 1.0. Pls help me to solve this. Thanks. technically hashing IS encryption -- it's just one-way encryption. You could P/Invoke Crypto API yourself, use wrapper from OpenNetcf.org 1.4 or upgrade to NETCF V2. This should help finding the solution. By the way, MD5 is not encryption but hash algorithm. Not according to definition: http://www.pcmag.com/encyclopedia_term/0,2542,t=encryption+algorithm&i=42595,00.asp Definition of: encryption The reversible ...Show All
rae_mel84 New WLM API confusion

Hi! I'me facing serious problems :( I want to develop a application for Windows Mobile 5.0. It's a VoIP application and I need to use a RTC API.

GrahamY JS Alert box with clickable links
In the Interactive SDK there are many examples that show a yellow alert box containing clickable links. How is this done I need to pop up a box of clickable links in my custom disambiguity function and I can't work out how this is done. any help would be appreciated. Interesting, after doing some research that yellow alert textbox that you see is actually generated from a separate javascript on the interactive SDK, namely vesdk.js. All you have to is make sense of the following code and attach it to your script if you want to duplicate the same box: function DoAlert(text) { var d=document.getElementById("alertdiv"); d.style.visibility="visible"; document.getElementBy ...Show All

I want to do this because I wan't the user to save all the downloaded files in one location only. Thanks for any reply. Dipesh The save as dialog that you see when downloading content is a native control and you will not be able to hide the save as button from managed code. If you want to have exclusive control over where content gets downloaded to then maybe you should not use the Web Browser control but use the HttpWebRequest class. ...Show All
