• Windows Live Developer Forums Mega Cluster logic

  Dr Neil first mentioned this on the via virtual earth site recently and now I need to use them. Just though I would put my ideas out here and see what you all think and can add. To be clear this is a concept and I’m looking for ideas / help before I build it. Basically the issue is you have X number of points to put on the map where X is very large. 1. If you go and add them all it is going to slow down to a crawl. 2. If you have points at a close proximity at certain zoom levels they are going to sit on top of each other and be unhoverable. The solution is to have a mega cluster that provides information about the points it represents. Firstly we need to look at how we calculate what po ...Show All

• Windows Forms create a trackbar with floating values

  I need a TrackBar control which can give floating, not integer, values. Is there a way to do this I thought to extend the base class by overriding the Value property but it's not that simple. using int you can achieve this. set the max value to 1000 and show your user he can select any value between 0-10 upto 2 decimal point, i.e., when he scrolls it to 555, show him the output 5.55 (on a Label or ..), do all your calculation in the scroll event. ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) What is it in VB

  I am struggling to figure out which dependency properties that can be used in .BeginAnimation in VB There seems to be a real difference between C# and VB in this respect. See http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1152919&SiteID=1 Not sure why VB is different and there does not seem to be any list of .BeginAnimation dependacy properties I can use. The documentation is extremely C# biased and of near no help. :-( Like why does C# use Image.LeftProperty (most logical I would say) and VB uses Canvas.LeftProperty. What does the canvas have to do with it and why does the documentation not mention anything about the C# Image.LeftProperty. According to the documentation Image does NOT have a LeftProperty property. ...Show All

• Visual C# generics in constructors

  Hello, I have a question about generics in constructors. Assume I have two constructors, e.g.: public Constructor1(string param1, string param2) { ... } public Constructor2(T param1, string param2) { ... } This will compile without problems (by contrast, I'd get a compile error if I had "public Constructor2(string param1, string param2)" because there would be two constructors with "string, string"). However, if at runtime I call Constructor2 with the generic parameter as a string, I get runtime problems (because Constructor1 and Constructor2 cannot be distinguished). Does anyone know how to deal with this in a clean way I know that I could, for example, change Constructor2 to something like "Constructor2(T param1 ...Show All
