• Windows Live Developer Forums LOADING GEORSS not working

  http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp url=/library/en-us/VEMapControl/HTML/WorkingWithLayers.asp The above page references the ability to load a GEOrss file. However the example only shows loading a "collection". I have followed the code correctly - however when I attempt to load a GEORSS compliant file - it says "0" items have been loaded. Could you provide example page of loading georss Can you please show the source code exactly like was used for the Interactive SDK (including the link to the geoRSS used - so we can see how the georss xml file was written), as well as how the icons were loaded and the popup layer was structured with pushpin hover.

• Windows Forms font size of Main Menu

  hi, Is there any way to increase the font size of main menu in VS 2003 I don't see that property in properties window. Thank you! Hi ar_pad, I'm sorry to say that this is not related to this forum. I don't see it could be solved by vs2003, it's the system's resposibility that controls the size. Right click on the desktop, Choose property, and the tab 'apperence',  and click the 'advanced' button, select the 'Menu' item in the pop-up dialog, and there you can change the font size. Try a luck at the Visual C# IDE forum. http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx ForumID=58&SiteID=1   ...Show All

• Windows Forms Open winforms with Async threads

  Hi, On my application 13 forms, that do something on load (each form is doing something else), and I need to open them all on App load (I'm not showing them, just create instance): <Code=c#> form1 frmOne = new form1; frmOne.LoadData; form2 frmTwo = new form2; frmTwo.LoadData; </Code> I want to load all of them at the same time (each in seperate thread). How can I do this The splash screen will be the main UI when being displayed. Your real forms will only be loaded after the splash is gone. It's still sync. call. I don't see any advantage of using splash because your forms cannot be loaded from background per Peter's explanataion. Correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks, Alan ...Show All

• Smart Device Development How to Merge *.reg File From Code

  Hello, Reg files usually are merged automatically during Cold Boot. Is there a way of merging a reg file from code (Something different than reading the file, parsing it and manually calling Reg functions from API.) The only thing I was able to find out about the issue was information about existance of RegMerge.dll. Thanks, Artur If you mean registry editor files, there's nothing to process or parse them files on device. You would have to write .reg file parser and "merger" (whatever you mean by that) yourself. ...Show All

• SQL Server Problem Connecting to ODBC and or Sybase connection

  Hi: I'm finding with SSIS 2005 that the most basic functionality--being able to connect to datasources--is very difficult. I've tried to connect to Sybase via ODBC and OLEDB and had different problems each way. As a test I tried an ODBC connection to Access and it also had problems. I've seen other posts but nothing that really helps. Here is what I've tried: 1. I understand that now if you want to use an ODBC source, you create an ODBC connection manager and then use a "DataReader Source" that uses that connection manager. I tried this via ODBC to my Sybase database, but got this error: "Error at pump MyPump [DataReader Source xxxx]: Cannot acquire a managed connection from the run-time connection manager" ...Show All

• Windows Forms How do I specify a file search condition for an uninstall custom action?

  I have an uninstall custom action that runs one of the installed executables. If the user deletes the executable and then tries to uninstall via Add/Remove Programs, the uninstall will fail because the executable in the uninstall custom action doesn't exist. The program will be permanently stuck in the Add/Remove Programs list. I know it's possible for the user to try to get the original installer, repair and then uninstall but I was hoping for an easier solution. The uninstall custom action is not critical. I'm trying to add a condition to the custom action that checks for the existence of the executable on disk, but it doesn't seem to be working. I've tried adding a file search node to the Launch Conditions Depth: 0 FileNam ...Show All

  I want my business object collections to inherit from a generic collection that supports access to its members by key and/or numeric index. It appears that KeyedCollection meets this requirement but it is my understanding that the only the BindingList<> generic supports two-way databinding Is this true Or does the KeyedCollection type support two-way databinding as well I realize that I could probably implement the interfaces myself but I would rather have that functionality inherited if possible Thanks for any assistance.
