• Windows Live Developer Forums SSL with VE

  Hello, I've posted this before but not seeing any changes and noticing the esoteric items that seem to be getting into the VE releases (before core items are in place) I thought I'd re-post. Can we somehow indicate to the client side VE script that we'd like to run this via https as opposed to http Our app is giving the user fits since every page they containing a map is causing the user to respond to ugly ssl warning popups. I really don't want to roll back to the clunkier MWS maps but I may have to do it based on customer complaints. Thanks, Jeff not at the moment. Your probably aware of this but just to note: you can also send your feedback to the VE team at vesdk@microsoft.com ...Show All

• Smart Device Development making a web service call

  folks, i'm attempting to make a web service call in evc++ application for PPC. actually, i am back-porting the code from VS2005 and finding that "atlsoap.h" does not exist under evc++ 4. is there an equivalent or work-around I doubt there is an equivalent, but for a workaround, if your web service allows POST requests, I would suggest using XMLHTTP object. It provides a (more) convenient way of sending requests and receiving XML-formatted responses. Techinically, you could even build SOAP requests and receive SOAP responses this way, but of course it's more work ...Show All

• Gadgets Gadget post info to new web form

  I've created a gadget which is a simple HTML form with 2 text boxes and a button. When you click the button it should open a new IE window and send the information to the target URL as a post. The problem is when installed as a sidebar, although the IE window is opening with the correct page, the information in the 2 textboxes does not seem to be transferred. I have tested the simple HTML form by opening it in IE and all functionlity works fine, but not when I install it as a sidebar. Is there something obvious that I am missing Any help would be appreciated. Thank you Hi, Here is the HTML of my gadget: <! DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> ...Show All

• Visual Studio MSBuild Task Success\Failure

  If I am using the MsBuild Task (to call another msbuild project file) how do I detect the success or failure of the msbuild task. I have tried the ONError to no avail.

• .NET Development Out of memory exception (c#, .net 2003, large images)

  Hi, I am developing an application (c#, .Net 2003, Framework 1.1) that deals with large images. The application captures multiple image frames and stitch them up into a large hige-res image. We are looking at 50+ frames and sometimes more than 100 frames of 1024x768 color images. I am also using double buffers for edit purposes. To get an idea of what this application does: beyond the image acquisition and stitching, it is very similar to Paint.Net ( http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html ) in providing tools to draw on top of the image. The program is hitting out of memory exceptions -- sometimes even with smaller images. Documentation on LOH seems to explain this observation well, especially with memory fragmentation a likely cause of ...Show All

• Visual C# Error highlighting

  Hello, I've been working with NetBeans IDE (Java) for quite some time and now I'm learning C#. What disturbs me alot in the Visual Studio 2005 IDE is, that non-syntax errors that would lead to a compiler error are not highlighted until I compile my source code. For example if I'd return an integer although the return type of my method is void, the IDE wouldn't highlight that error until I'd try to compile the source. That's quite annoying to me since NetBeans IDE always did that and I'm used to it. Now my question is: Am I missing an option Is there a way to activate it Thanks for any help! The IDE simply doesn't do the sort of semantic analysis that is required to catch these errors before compilation. ...Show All

• Game Technologies: DirectX, XNA, XACT, etc. 1.) Lock/Unlock vs. SetData/GetData and 2.) predefined vertex formats

  Two points spring currently to my mind. Is there any reason besides simplicity not to use the common Lock/Unlock mechanics I would prefer the addition of this to the API. GetData/SetData canthe simply be mapped onto this. I have a large terrain, that I tesselate into the locked buffer directly... With this new scheme I have to build a temporary array and then copy over via SetData, same with textures. On the other hand, if we have to live with this, why do we have the managed pool anymore, kind of pointless! The other thing are the predefined vertex formats... Any reason to not expose the members directly and use setters and getters instead I don't see the point here too, this just forces us to create one intermediate result and copy oper ...Show All
