• Windows Live Developer Forums GetMapView() TopLeftLatLong/BottomRightLatLong oddity

  Im using GetMapView () with TopLeftLatLong and BottomRightLatLong to display a set of pushpins in the visible area of the map and i am seeing some weirdness with the values being returned for BottomRightLatLong. On page load i obtain the values i need using var v = map.GetMapView(); alert( "Vis cTOP LEFT" + v.TopLeftLatLong); alert( "Vis cBOTTOM RIGHT" + v.BottomRightLatLong); The values returned by BottomRightLatLong show as: 42.488966 -83.102903 I also have an event attached to a mouse click which uses the same exact code: var v = map.GetMapView(); alert( "Click cTOP LEFT" + v.TopLeftLatLong); alert( "Click cBOTTOM RIGHT" + v.BottomRightLatLong); The values returned by BottomRightLatLong for the click function show as: ...Show All

• Visual Basic Moving between panes of a Split Window

  I frequently need to split my editing window so that I can simultaneously view different sections of my code. Is there a keystroke shortcut to switch from one pane to the other, or some other way that's faster than having to grab the mouse and click in the other pane Thanks. Hi, What part of my response did you not understand Pressing the F6 key will probably move you between split windows. To change your keyboard shortcuts, open the Tools menu and click Options . Expand the Environment node. Navigate to the Keyboard node. In the list box, scroll down until you see Window.NextSplitPane . If there are any short cuts defined for that task, they will show up in the Shortcuts for selected command comb ...Show All

• .NET Development Reverting to appDomain user after remoted users flowed identity is checked.

  The following code reads the user Identity flowed over TCP to the server where I check for membership. With a minor inconvenience this works fine. The problem I was concerned about is if the thread is now identified as having the remote user's identity then the server may not have all the authority it needs to do things like log errors. We don't want to give each user the authority so we woud like to revert to the Identity of the user/account that launched the server. Unlike impersonating a user, the flowing the user via remoting doesn't appear to have a WindowsImpersonationContext that we can simply call Undo(). Fortunately I discovered that the appDomain identity is still available and using the following code I think I was able t ...Show All

• Windows Forms Conditionally adding a button to a form

  I am new to VB and I can't seem to find an answer to this questions. I want to check the OS Version when the form launches and conditionally add a button depending on what OS is found. I have created a simple form below that has two buttons on it. When clicked the button launches a setup.exe in a directory relitive to the forms EXE.

• Visual Studio Team System Merge / commit not committing all pending changes

  Has anybody seen this happen. You merge a branch (forward integrate in this case), you fix all the conflicts and you check in *everything* from the VS PendingChanges tool window. The operation completes and you do a refresh in the PendingChanges tool window and there's another item that needs to be checked in. WTF In this particular case it was a directory that was renamed that also had files in it with edits. The file edits were successfully committed but apparently not the directory rename. Are there any known cases where a merge can't be completed in a single commit I'll keep an eye on this since this has happened about 3 times now. After the last merge where this happened the TF server crashed (the m ...Show All

• Visual C++ Which way should I go? C++ or C#

  I'm about to start developing a windows application which is currently in VB6 using an Access database. Which route should I take language wise, c++ or c# and what's the difference There are no substantial performance differences between VB.NET, C#, and C++/CLI. If you're comfortable with VB, just upgrade to VB.NET. If you have a C++ background, you might want to check out C++/CLI - it's a nice language and if you stick to managed code it's nearly as simple as C#.
