• Windows Live Developer Forums Custom Tiles --- ESRI - ARCIMS - Shape files - MrSID

  We are Google Maps converts and I have spent some time reading up on adding custom tiles to VE but since this is so new, there is not much yet on importing Shapefiles. I have read and test the MapCruncher and although very nice, it does not support SHP (Shape files) and in ArcGIS you can't export a shapefile to a supported type. I need to be able to add a tile of poly lines (Bike trails) vectors and eventually MrSID Aerial Photpgraphy we have (becuse we have much much better resolution than MS) I can not see a way to serving up shapefiles or MrSID DOQQ files. Any suggestions, tips or other ways we can accomplish this Thanks Jason Jones Dayton, Ohio USA One the problems I've ran into, is that VE seems ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How do I copy an array of bytes to a pictureBox?

  I need a fast (least amount of processor time) way to display an array of bytes to a form. I have created a form with a pictureBox located at one corner and would like to be able to copy an array of bytes (The array of bytes wil contain some sort of graphic) to the pictureBox so that it becomes instantly visable. I do not wand to load the bitmap from a file and then dispay it, I just want to copy an array of bytes to a pictureBox or whatever control would be best for the job. Thanks, CoderX Hi, You didn't tell us what is the file format (eg. bitmap), and how do you want to do that , do you want to set the picture as pixel-by-pixel , or you want to write the bytes to a memory stream then read ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Security Pain (Vista basicHttpbinding)

  I am struggling to get my server running with the basicHttp binding over https on Vista (it is a self hosted server). The server starts up and doesn't complain but the client exceptions when I try to start it up: "An error occurred while making the HTTP request to https://192.168.1.64:8081/Server/G2SServer . This could be due to the fact that the server certificate is not configured properly with HTTP.SYS in the HTTPS case. This could also be caused by a mismatch of the security binding between the client and the server." My first question is whether configuring http.sys is required for an application running with the basicHttp binding (this help page implies it is only necessary for WSHttpBinding ms-help://MS.MSSDK.1033/MS.NE ...Show All

• SQL Server Full Text Search Sql Express, Quatation Mark

  When I try to search a string including Quatation Mark it fails: Like: The new Book "Harry Potter" is it stated that the syntax is incorrect. by the way I am also using * for indicating any suffix. What is the correct syntax for searching: " Itzik Hi!, You can not include quotation marks inside your string. In addition, these characters are being ignored at indexing time (ignored by the language wordbreaker you are using by default), so are not considered either in your query. This means that when searching for ' The new Book "Harry Potter" is' , internally gets translated as : 'The new Book Harry Potter is'. So you dont have to worry about this quotation ...Show All

• Visual Basic Auto-update Project References

  Hi, I have a VB6 project that contains a reference to a tlb from another .Net project that I have. The problem is that whenever I rebuild the .Net project the reference in the VB6 project becomes out-of-date and I have to re-enter it. Is there any way that the project reference will automatically update to pick up the new .tlb file which will always be in the same location I hope this is explained properly. Thanks, Wallace This is what I have found is the easiest way to do it. It involves changes to the .NET project that is being referenced. Ensure that you have both the ClassID and InterfaceID GUIDs in the class (and the EventsID if required). NB in VB .Net, you can add a COM class item which has these ...Show All

• Smart Device Development OutOfMemory error on JasJar

  I am having a memory problem with an application on the JasJar. The application runs fine on iMate PDA2K with 128MB memory (PPC2003SE). It also runs well on iPAQ on WM5 with 64MB memory (not sure about the exact version of WM5). However, on the iMate JasJar, also with 64MB memory but a slightly later version of WM5 than iPAQ, I am consistently getting OutOfMemory exception under certain conditions. I have run the RPM on PPC2003SE but cannot see why I am event close to the limit. I look at the GC Heap over time. Shoud I be looking at something else I have read the blog entries of David Kline about RPM and Steven Pratschners's memory management, but it is not explicit about what I need to look out for.

• SQL Server Variable Mapping and Resultset Questions

  I'm just getting started with SSIS and have a couple basic questions. I have a Foreach Loop that iterates over a collection of database names. The collection must include only database names that match a substring. I haven't found a way to filter the SMO Enumerator collection so, instead, I feed the resultset of an Execute SQL Task into the Foreach Variable Enumerator.  Of course this variable (oDBnames) is object type so in Foreach Variable Mapping a string variable (sDBname) is mapped to the only value in the collection (database name). Now sDBname should be available for an Execute SQL Task inside the container. But I keep getting the following errors: Error: 0xC001 ...Show All

• SQL Server rounding numerics

  Hello, Executing this statement outputs 10.0000000000. I expect it to be 9.999999999. declare @test NUMERIC ( 24 , 10 ) declare @test2 NUMERIC ( 24 , 10 ) set @test2 = 0.0000000000 set @test = 9.999999999 select @test * ( 1 - @test2 ) Changing the type of @test2 to VARCHAR(12,10) corrects the problem. I don't understand why SQL Server does this rounding Thanx, Wouter At least part of the answer lies with the fact that the "1" in the statement: select @test * ( 1 - @test2 ) is an integer datatype and must be converted for all of the operations to take place. This can be avoided by perfo ...Show All

• Visual C# base class methods calling derived class methods ?

  Ive inherited a C# class library and it seems that several of the base classes implement some methods that call methods which are defined in classes that are derived from the calling method's class. Is this "normal" eg: BaseClass method1 method2 { //some code here some_int = get_the_int(); } DerivedClass:BaseClass method1 method2 get_the_int () { //get the int here... } "Inheriance main concept is derived class can use the base class proeprties and behaviour, but viseversa is not possible." If you're talking about polymorphic inheritence, then this is completely wrong. It is a common design pattern for base classes to call methods which are defined by derived classes, which is acc ...Show All
