• Windows Live Developer Forums Adding a new push pin

  Hi, Do you have some simple JavaScript showing how a user can add a new push pin or move the existing one when they click on the map Cheers, Mike You can use map.GetZoom() to get the current zoom level and map.GetCenter() to find the center point. Alternately, you can use map.GetMapView to return the VELatLongRectangle of the current view. Either approach lets you compare the original with current values to make sure the map hasn't changed. ...Show All

• Visual Studio Sort order of enums is in reverse as entered!

  The enums are in the reverse order as entered in the comments. This does not appear to be a problem with Sandcastle but with the XML Document Comments Merge Tool in C++.

• Visual Studio Grouping class methods and members

  Using the latest Sandcastle build plus the Sandcastle Help File Builder ... Right now, my output includes subpages for class members and methods that all appear in a single list. Is it possible to instruct Sandcastle (or the add-on Help File Builder) to group all methods and members together into separate groups For example, instead of Class A - Method 1 - Member 1 - Method 2 - Method 3 - Member 2 I'd like to have Class A - Methods - Method 1 - Method 2 - Method 3 - Members - Member 1 - Member 2 I've perused the help information but haven't managed to locate any relevant information. Could someone kindly tell me whether what I'd like to do is possible, whether it's documented, and -- if so -- where Many thanks! This is a trem ...Show All

• SQL Server Database Diagrams - SQL Server 2005 Express

  I have installed Visual Basic 2005 Express and SQL server 2005 Express. I am reading the ebook: "Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition - Build a Program Now" that you download when you register the products (it is a PDF file named 6-2213-2.pdf) Page 139 of the book (or 151 in the file) is about "To Create Relationships between Tables". So I follow the instruction and get stuck on Step 1. When I right click on the Database Diagrams folder under CarTracker.mdf database and choose Add New Diagram I get the following message: --------------------------- Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express Edition --------------------------- This database does not have a valid dbo user or you do not have permissions to impersonate the dbo user, ...Show All

• Visual Studio Tools for Office Can a program created for outlook 2003 run with 2000?

  I created a program that uses the Outlook 11 object library. Is there a way to make it backwards compatible and run on a system that has Outlook 2000 installed Thanks Theoretically, if you do not use any APIs that were not available for Outlook 2000 - you should be OK. In this case just install Office 2003 PIAs on Office 2000 box and run. On the other hand if your program attempts to use any APIs that were not available on Outlook 2000 - then you will see mysterious crashes during or after the calls to such new APIs. It might be very tricky and time consuming to troubleshoot such errors. Also Microsoft does not support or recommend this approach. ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009

  I have a weird issue related to performance counter registration on Vista. The problem is that my dll's registration fails on CPerfMon's update of the REG_MULTI_SZ value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Perflib\009\Counter. I've written the simple application that tries to update the same key. It fails with 0x800703F2 = "The configuration registry key is invalid". I am absolutely sure that the new value is valid, the key is valid (I still can CRegKey::QueryMultiStringValue value after I receive error on CRegKey::SetMultiStringValue), permissions requested are default KEY_READ | KEY_WRITE. This code works fine on the XP, windows 2003 - that is the reason why I asked it here. Thanks in advance. ...Show All

• SQL Server Updatable Subscriber under Republisher

  Hello, There are 2 questions that I interested in: Q1: We are planning to scale out SQL Server 2005 with Transactional Replication and use the following topology: NodeA: Publisher NodeB: Publishing Subscriber of NodeA NodeC: Subscriber of NodeB If it is necessary to allow update on NodeC, is it possible to set NodeC as an updatable subscriber BOL states that Updatable Subscriptions do not support republishing data. But I'm not sure whether it is applicable to these case. Please advice. Q2: In SQL Server 2005 BOL, in claim that "Standard transactional replication assumes read-only Subscribers and is hierarchical in structure: typically a single Publisher publishes data to one or more Subscribers. Standard transactional replicat ...Show All

• Visual Studio Batching on multiple items?

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. Games built on XNA do need XNA framework to run

  Hello all, Not sure if this Question has been asked before and might be a stupid one to some, I was just wondering that Games built using XNA; do they need XNA framework to run on the users machine apart from NET 2.0 framework. PS -> BTW... XNA is really cool and its very easy to make games now.. cheers for the developers .. Regards, Claton I'm sure Microsoft will release a runtime only install just like .Net 2.0 and DirectX as well as a way for you to build it into your games setup program. Based on DirectX I don't expect to see one before RTM. To be honest this makes sense becuase shipping a redist for beta just means people will end up with beta copies who don't know they are getting beta copies when they inst ...Show All

• Commerce Server 3rd Party Payment

  Hi I'm having trouble figuring out how to implement a 3rd party payment solution from within the starter site. Has anybody used a 3rd party to collect payment from within CS I'm trying to figure out whether I need to create a new payment pipeline, or whether the existing one can be modified. We are planning on using Protx, who provide an ASP.Net integration solution. I'm a newbie by the way, so that might explain why I can't find such a solution. Paul Hi Paul, You've got the right direction. Basically you'll need to write a pipeline component to iterate through the payments in the collection and make a call to the provider to authorize and/or capture payment. Cheers, Colin ...Show All
