Go here http://dev.live.com/virtualearth/sdk/ , and download the full source code for the working with layers --> add a georss layer. Copy that to your htm page. In the code, find the line with veLayerSpec.LayerSource = txtSource.value ; and replace txtSource.value with the URL to the xml file . Save both and browse to the page... ...Show All

• SQL Server Simple MDX question

  Hi, This is a newbie question. I want to obtain a top-level aggregate, but filtered by attributes at the lowest of the data. An equivalent example from Adventure Works is this: select [Measures].[Sales Amount] on columns , filter ([Promotion].[Promotions].[Promotion]. Members , STRTOVALUE ([Promotion].[Promotions]. CurrentMember . Properties ("Max Quantity")) <24) on rows from [Adventure Works] This gives the following results: Sales Amount Mountain Tire Sale (null) Half-Price Pedal Sale (null) Mountain-100 Clearance Sale $250,927.70 Mountain-500 Silver Clearance Sale $25,899.14 Road-650 Overstock $49,986.08 LL Road Frame Sale (null) Touring-3000 Promotion $458,091.20 Touring-1000 Promotion $612 ...Show All

• Visual Studio How do I prevent a Solution Item from being opened on AddFromFile?

  Hi, I've developed a Project group wizard that adds items to the solution items of a solution, the problem is that when I add a testrunconfig file or an xml file to the solution items by using: Project prjSolItems = (( Solution2 )solution).AddSolutionFolder( "Solution Items" ); prjSolItems.ProjectItems.AddFromFile("C:\\SomeFolder\\localtestrun.testrunconfig"); The IDE opens a dialog with the test configuration and I have to press close for my wizard to continue. Is there a way of preventing this model dialog from opening Thanks Gabo It seems a bug. See: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=483047&SiteID=1 ...Show All

• .NET Development returning fields from SWbemObject

  Hi there, I am using WMI to send a WQL query to an SMS server and retrieve information on systems on our LAN. I am working on a .net application to display the results of these reports.

• Visual C# Make object that allows access thru [] (indexed property)

  Hi, I was wondering if it is possible to make objects that behave like indexable lists. I have an object that wraps a Dictionary object and I would like to make it possible that the caller also uses the direct approach of talking with my class (meaning using square brackets with the key between) So in short I want to know if it is possible to replace: MyDictionary.GetValue(key); By MyDictionary[key] Many thanks to the one that can help me with this. Ben. Something like this: public object this[object key] { get { return GetValue(key); } set { SetValue(key, value); } } ...Show All

• .NET Development mem usage keeps growing :(

  Hi, Its a very simple app. When you click a button it will scan a specified directory for *.mp3 files: DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(directoryTxt.Text); FileInfo[] fi = di.GetFiles("*.mp3", SearchOption.AllDirectories); and for each file, is gonna create an object of structure type Mp3File (simple struct with just 4 string fields for name, title, artist and album): for (int i = 0; i < fi.Length; i++) { Mp3File m = ID3Reader.ReadID3Tags(fi[ ].FullName); this.progressBar.PerformStep(); } the Mp3File object is given by the ReadID3Tags method which goes like: public static Mp3File ReadID3Tags(string path) { Mp3File mp3File = new Mp3File(); string fileName = path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1); string fileP ...Show All

• SQL Server How to verify constraints after a bulk ? (sql server destination)

  Hello I have four tables as xml. I'm successfully bulk loading them into 4 tables, using the SQL Server Destination, with check constraints unchecked. The process manages to load all the data without any FK issue. After that, how can I check the constraints (I've read a bit about is_not_trusted and sys.check_constraints) Thibaut Cannot find any caveat for the moment. The check check constraint all properly detects any error in the loaded data, and the constraints and foreign keys seems to go back to is_not_trusted = 0, just like expected. ...Show All
