    - Show Messenger (online/offline) on my website Hi, I have looked through the posts and can not find any info on this. I am wanting to show my status of mesenger on my website for customers to contact me, so they can use the remote assistance function in messenger when I am online. I did find <ahref="msnim:chat contact=EMAIL ADDRESS">conversation</a> but this would only invite my customer to chat to me. Any ideas Or is there code to use on my website to automatically start remote assistance on the customers computer Simon Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Preventing the onclick event when user doubleclicks I have both the onclick and ondoubleclick events attached to my map. It seems that the onclick event is fired just before the doubleclick event when doubleclicking on the map. Is there a way of preventing this I want to call a function when a user just clicks on the map (doubleclicks, pans and zooms mustn't call the function) but cant seem to do it! Many thanks in advance Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - More than just a homepage? More Pages? Hi, Im using popfly to try to make a website... but, I can't seem to find out how to add pages to my homepage.... since, a webpage with a "nav bar" with nowhere else to navigate to is pointless... Im wondering how to do this... thanks. Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Vista Gadget Not Rendering You could also set your sidebar to load the 32bit version by default the registery key for it is at: Code Snippet HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\Sidebar You need to change that to point to the 32bit Sidebar, I'm running a 32bit OS so can't test this so the above comes at no guarantee. Only do it if your comfortable editing the registry. Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - MSN Search: How can I bind the results to a GridView to take advantage of built-in paging? I'm new, obviously I am trying to sync a Gridview with Details view so whenever I select a Gridview record, the Details view updates accordingly. The problem. It works fine as long as the user does not sort the Gridview. If that happens then, the Details view uses its own independent Index which is static This is the code I am using Protected Sub GridView1_SelectedIndexChanged( ByVal sender As Object , ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles GridView1.SelectedIndexChanged DetailsView1.PageIndex = GridView1.SelectedIndex + (GridView1.PageIndex * GridView1.PageSize) End Sub thanks very much Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Virtual Earth error? Hi Dylan, Actually I am really really keen I appreciate your time spent on this and am sorry for the trouble. I'm sure that things like this will affect others as well, but most would think it is their fault or just wouldn't take time to report the problems. I have filed a bug on the issues that you reported and we are investigating to see what aspects of your SOE (Standard Operating Environment ) could possibly cause problems like these. In the meantime, one thing you could look at (if you have the chance) is to make sure that the latest version of Silverlight 1.0 is installed. There was an upgrade recently and you can get it here: http://www.microsoft.com/silverlight/install.aspx . Do let me know if you get a chance to play with this further. Yours truly, Michael Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Local.live query string API CharlesD wrote: I would like to add this functionality to a custom mashup. Im not sure where to begin. Any links to examples or code would be greatly appreciated.. Not too sure what you mean by "adding this functionality", but if your looking to do something like put up a local.live.map on your own web page and manipulate it nobody has discovered a way to dislpay the local.live.map properly. The closest answer to doing so is referencing the map within an <IFRAME> which does work under FireFox but not under Internet Explorer.

    - Can not Preview First Time user - just got my invite. I create a new mashup with the Flickr block and it's default settings (got a developer key), and press the preview. In Firefox 2 I get a message "The connection was reset" and in ie6 i get " The page cannot be displayed". I am behind a company firewall BTW. Another scenario - with a blank mashup, I click the Carousel block, and I get a message in the background of the design space saying "The connection was reset" or " The page cannot be displayed" in FF 2.0 and IE6 respectively. What's up What am I doing wrong Is this anything to do with the firewall thanks GilShalit Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Virtual Earth Postcode Not Working Hi, I built a program a while ago which matched students for a scheme i am participating in. This used virtual earth to find the distances between the students. This was all working find when i left it, now when i come back the post code i put in (mine) RG30 3LZ which is Reading, UK it ends up putting it in Canada. It is doing this with all the postcodes starting RG. I don't understand why though, it was working fine. The program is made in C# and uses a web browser componant, which a file behind doing all the javascript stuff. The postcode isn't changing going out of the program into the other file. Virtual Earth just can't seem to find the postcode. Has something changed in virtual earth where you need to put a default country The map even starts off at RG30 3LZ (lat,long coords) without a problem. The really annyoing thing is that it doesn't even try and find it just comes up with R3G 0L3 which is in canada somewhere. Anyone have any ideas This is really bugging me!

    - Fire Fox Map not sizing right I have a page that contains a VE map and am using this code to make the map the size I want it: <div id='myMap' style="width:700px; height:880px;"> In FireFox 2 the map fills the whole window I have added this code to detect the browser: var ffv = 0; var ffn = "Firefox/" var ffp = navigator.userAgent.indexOf(ffn); if (ffp != -1) ffv = parseFloat(navigator.userAgent.substring(ffp + ffn.length)); // If we're using Firefox 1.5 or above override the Virtual Earth drawing functions to use SVG if (ffv >= 1.5) { Msn.Drawing.Graphic.CreateGraphic=function(f,b) { return new Msn.Drawing.SVGGraphic(f,b) } } I had hoped that would fix the problem but it did not. Does anyone know how to fix this problem here is the URL: http://www.alphacommunity.com/mapping/print.html Thanks Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Image Library Intentions I guess this issue has to do with your intentions vis a vis images. You have a small image libary built into Creator for purposes of page design. Is it your intention to host images or do you assume that everyone will host their images elsewhere (Flickr, Photobucket, etc.) If you are thinking of allowing some amount of image hosting you might consider two things: 1. Albums within the image library 2. A good Block for retrieving the images from the image library both individually and by album. Tag: Importing from spreadsheet into a maps.live.com collection ????

    - Map Control - Label Size I would like to display a VE map - road or hybrid - with larger labels than you normally get. I am referring to the geographic labels - cities, mountains, roads, rivers, etc. - that are drawn by VE into the road and hybrid tiles, not to the pushpin labels one creates on the map.

    - Windows Live Mail Desktop Links Is it a security feature to not launch a window or website from an email link that is clicked in a Windows Live Mail Desktop email I can right click and "Copy Shortcut" and paste it into a URL line in my browser, but it won't just launch the link when clicking them in an email.

I would like to be able to import a list of addresses from a spreadsheet or other data source into a maps.live.com.

I have not been able to locate the slightest clue on how to do this.

Any suggestions, directions, resources

Thanks!

An idea would be to make a simple program that takes in a list of addresses from your spreadsheet. Then geocodes it (turns into lat/longs) using the VE api. Once you have the lat/longs for all the addresses you can then write an xml file that is in the form of geoRSS. This would be fairly easy to do.

There are several ways to geocode an address. One way is to use the VEfind method and then get the center of the map on call back. This will returna VELatLong.
