• Windows Live Developer Forums Virutal Earth Mobile?

  Does anyone have any knowledge of VE on mobile devices Does it work, and if so which devices can support it ah I was going to post something about this earlier but thought it was thoroughly covered: Anyhow from what I know, if you want to actually do development on VE for mobile, then check out this link: http://viavirtualearth.com/vve/Gallery/VEMobile.ashx This runs off anything that is Windows Mobile 5.0 compatable as well as old smartphones.  If you just want to get VE onto the phone, check out gmaps, which has a list of supported phones here: http://www.mgmaps.com/support.php#phones I'm not sure if this is possible, but if you can rip out the source from the gmap .jar file , then you might b ...Show All

• Visual Studio 2008 (Pre-release) Specifying config file to use at runtime in WCF client

  Hi, Is there any way of specifying at run time, the path/filename of client config file to use in WCF client proxy Here is my use case: I have a client that uses the generated client side proxy (proxy.dll). The generated proxy/config file are in a different location than the client process. We need to load the generated proxy using reflection (using LoadFrom) and invoke the service. When I try loading the client proxy and create an instance using reflection, I get an exception “ Could not find default endpoint element that references contract 'Foobar' in the ServiceModel client configuration section. This might be because no configuration file was found for your application, or because no endpoint element matc ...Show All

• Visual Basic Database problem/mistake...

  I am developing an app that uses an SQL Express DB as the backend and VB as the front end. After reading much information I think I initially made a mistake when I created and connected to the database. After installing an initial version (one click) I now have three databases. The one being accessed by the installed version is in a strange directory (documents and settings/user name/.....). I wish I had started out with a single SQL Express DataBase in a location that would be easy to back up with SQL Management Studio. Now the question, can I copy the database that is being used by the deployed version of the app to a directory normally used by sql and then delete the version used by the IDE and connect to that version If I did this ...Show All

• Windows Live Developer Forums Quota Question

  Hey Guys Just wanna know.. What is the quota limit for accessing the production version of the API is there a limit and if yes, is it monthly/ daily lemme know There is a monthly quota limit - please look up the documentation for quota in the SDK help (.CHM) file (simply search for "quota"). Alternatively, call GetQuota() and GetQuotaBalance() on the Administration WSDL to know your numbers. This is probably the recommended approach, since the limits depend on a number of factors and they may change in the future. Notes: 1) We do not charge money for API usage. 2) There is no quota limits for calling the sandbox. Thanks, Shai ...Show All

• Software Development for Windows Vista Simple STS - Certificate Authentication Scenarios

  Reference: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=659284&SiteID=1 So, I guess most of us have asked this same question. I am not able to get the Certificate Authentication Scenarios to work with Simple STS as well. It seems like the problem stems from the Cardspace Agent UI itself. It doesnt find the certificate associated with the card, no matter what you do. Even when a wrong password is set in the ini file - certificatepassword=xyz <Looking_at_Garrett />Can you help us, please Sorry, I got backlogged this last couple of weeks. RTM comes waaaaay to fast somedays :D I'll see if I can spare some time to get back in and look at this--I realize the docs didn't cover it all off. ...Show All

• Visual Basic Printout is not what I expected

  I need some help with the following problem. I have made a simple pos system that will let the user push buttons that represent the menu items and those items show up on the reciept. I am using formatting zones to line up the items. This part of the program works fine and the display on the screen keeps everything lined up. My data is contained inside of a sorted list and my objects come from a menuitem class the properties are : name - holds the name of the menuitem price- holds the price cost - holds price * Quantity Quantity - how many key - so each entry into the sorted list is unique The name of my sorted list is itemcoll And my theory is that i can loop through the sorted list and print each element until r ...Show All

• Visual Studio Team System Javascript actions in coded web test not working correctly

  After reading the white paper of Josh ‘ Web Test Authoring and Debugging technique’ , I figured out that I could mimic the JavaScript action of a ‘ add to cart’ button for our product. Hence I coded my web test and included the following piece of code in the appropriate section request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "btnFinish" , "Add to Cart" ); There was already another ‘formpostparameters.add’ just prior to that in the same request. request9Body.FormPostParameters.Add( "Body" , "&Anthem_UpdatePage=true&__EVENTTARGET=btnFinish&__EVENTARGUMENT=&__VIEWSTATE=%2Fw" + However, this did not make any difference to the ...Show All

• Visual Studio Express Editions How to select multiple dates in MonthCalendar winform control

  Hi, i want to select multiple dates (not contiguous) on MonthCalendar winform control, but i can only do for a range of dates that are continuous, but not random ones. Also, i want to programmatically select a list of dates, and the selection should be read only on the front end. Users should be able to view the selected dates, but not change them. Thanks, Srinivas Yelamanchili The MonthCalendar properties that indicate selection clearly do not support this. You could use BoldedDates to indicate selected dates... ...Show All

• Visual Studio output file path from a build

  I can complie a project using IVsBuildableProjectCfg.StartBuild method. But I am not able to locate the interface (method) that would give me the output filepath. I would like to know the full path of the output. Thanks. You have two choices. One is to get the output groups for the item, find the built output group, then find the first output. You could also use the automation model. The following macro will show how to do it: Public Sub FindOutputDirectory() Dim proj As Project Dim config As Configuration proj = DTE.Solution.Projects.Item(1) config = proj.ConfigurationManager.Item(1) MsgBox(System.IO.Path.GetDirectoryName(proj.FullName) + "\" + con ...Show All
