    - 'Checkerboard' effect when using road/hybrid mapping Can you try to cross reference with a machine that has tiles working and see if theres any particular windows patch that stands out on your affected machine Can you IEToolbar/Firebug the tile to see which one your having difficulty loading I'd really like to find out what's the cause, and so far I've discovered that the checkboard occurs when zooming into fractional levels (which will occur over any machine). Any leads would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - Retrieving Lat & Lon from an address without a map I have used a local.live.com/search.ashx service to get the geocoding in my application. Here is the source code: Make sure you have added: using System.Net; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; using System.Web; using System.Web.Configuration; using System.Web.Security; using System.Xml; using System.Xml.XPath; using System.IO; ----------------- private void button1_Click( object sender, EventArgs e) { double Latitude = 0; double Longitude = 0; GeoCode(textBox1.Text, out Latitude, out Longitude); lblLat.Text = Latitude.ToString(); lblLong.Text = Longitude.ToString(); } private bool GeoCode( string Address, out double Latitude, out double Longitude) { bool RetVal = true ; double long2 = 0; double long1 = 0; double lat2 = 0; double lat1 = 0; Latitude = 0; Longitude = 0; string text1 = "a=&b=" + Address + "&c=0.0&d=0.0&e=0.0&f=0.0&g=&i=&r=0" ; string text2 = DoSearchRequest(text1); if ((text2 == null ) || (text2 == string .Empty)) { return false ; } Regex regex1 = new Regex ( @"SetViewport\(( <lat1>\S+),( <long1>\S+),( <lat2>\S+),( <long2>\S+)\)" ); Match match1 = regex1.Match(text2); if (!match1.Success) { return false ; } lat1 = double .Parse(match1.Groups[ "lat1" ].Value); long1 = double .Parse(match1.Groups[ "long1" ].Value); lat2 = double .Parse(match1.Groups[ "lat2" ].Value); long2 = double .Parse(match1.Groups[ "long2" ].Value); // we use the midpoint of the viewport here Latitude = (lat1 + lat2) / 2; Longitude = (long1 + long2) / 2; return RetVal; } private string DoSearchRequest( string searchParams) { string text1 = string .Empty; HttpWebRequest request1 = ( HttpWebRequest ) WebRequest .Create( "http://local.live.com/search.ashx" ); request1.Method = "POST" ; request1.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" ; UTF8Encoding encoding1 = new UTF8Encoding (); byte [] buffer1 = encoding1.GetBytes(searchParams); request1.ContentLength = buffer1.Length; try { Stream stream1 = request1.GetRequestStream(); stream1.Write(buffer1, 0, buffer1.Length); stream1.Close(); text1 = GetSearchResults(request1); } catch ( WebException ) { } return text1; } private string GetSearchResults( HttpWebRequest searchRequest) { string text1 = string .Empty; HttpWebResponse response1 = ( HttpWebResponse )searchRequest.GetResponse(); Stream stream1 = response1.GetResponseStream(); Encoding encoding1 = Encoding .GetEncoding( "utf-8" ); StreamReader reader1 = new StreamReader (stream1, encoding1); char [] chArray1 = new char [0x100]; for ( int num1 = reader1.Read(chArray1, 0, 0x100); num1 > 0; num1 = reader1.Read(chArray1, 0, 0x100)) { string text2 = new string (chArray1, 0, num1); text1 = text1 + text2; } response1.Close(); return text1; } Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - Checking if a VELatLong & Zoom has a BirdseyeScene? Is there a way to check whether a particular VELatLong combined with a zoom level has a BirdseyeScene available Ideally, I'd like to parse my database results of VELatLong coordinates and build a grid of BirdseyeScene thumbnails, but it appears you can only check for a BirdseyeScene for where the map is centered.

    - Tilesource Doesn't show in 3D I think it's because you used a relative path rather than a local path. I made a local copy, and changed : "Acu/%4.png" to " http://www.dellai-aedis.com/Montecchio/Acu/%4.png " This worked for me. My guess is that since the 3D app is not based in a web page, it doesn't know how to find the data files if you use a relative path.

    - Can you change Pin icon dynamically Hi, I am writing an application to display images on a map using Virtual Earth, and would like to change the colour of an associated pin when the user rolls the mouse over an image on a web page. The VEPushPin class doesn't have an icon property, only allowing you to set the icon in the constructor. As far as I can tell there are two options: 1. Add a new pin with a different icon in the same spot, and delete the old pin. 2. Inspect the HTML using javascript to obtain a reference to the img object used in the pin, and change the icon using the .src property. Neither strike me as being particularly nice or robust. Does anyone have a more elegant solution Thanks your help! Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - Output to text for use on blog? Hi, Sorry about the long delay getting back to you. What you want to do should be very easy - just create a mashup that outputs the desired information from the XBoxLive block, and then embed the mashup in your blog. Unfortunately, the XBoxLive block seems to be broken. I've filed a bug and we'll get this fixed in an upcoming release. Yours, Michael Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - LiveID control hosted within IFRAME Say I write a web application that requires LiveID signin. This web application should be hosted within another web application as IFRAME. Something along the following lines: <body> <iframe src="http://www.mydomain.com/liveidauth.aspx" ></iframe> </body> Is this possible It appears that this is not possible due to the way redirects work. After signing in, I am not back within the IFRAME, but in a new window. Thank you! Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I have now used the DotMSN library ( http://www.xihsolutions.net/dotmsn/ ) to write a bot that communicates with an application on my server. This worked fine until the number of users of the bot reached 1500. It seems that the bot is allowed to have only 1500 contacts on its allowed list. I guess this is a limit from the Messenger protocol Is there a way to create a bot with more than 1500 users I bot needs to allow unlimited number of users.. Can someone recommend me a solution to this Is there a library or a supplier which will allow unlimited number of users of the bot Thanks in advance.

    - Activity Pane not loading page I am in the process of adding the activity pane to my bot. I get the invite to open the pane and when I accept the pane opens...says connecting briefly and then I get just a blank page...all white. Just wondering the best way to troubleshoot this...currently I'm just trying to have it navigate to www.microsoft.com . If you want to see the behavior the bot is afcichat@hotmail.com just type loadpage to have it execute the page drive. Any ideas would be appreciated. ps: After doing a netmon trace I see the client request Http: Request, GET /7MEAPPSDIR/1 which returns a 301 moved permanently and redirects to Location: http://www.microsoft.com but rather than a get for ms.com I see : Http: Request, GET /p4activity/activity.htm from this host: Host: francois.huet.free.fr I don't know where it got that host name...anyway from there it gets all 304 not modified as a response Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - Variable in setCustomIcon ? The Interactive SDK> Customize SHapes>Add Custom shapes example displays the custom icon with the text "Shape" plus it's ID. Here is the source: var icon = "<div style='font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;border olid 2px Black;background-color:Aqua;width:50px;'>Shape</div>"; However, I cant find anywhere in the source where the ID number is added to the word "Shape" that is between the DIV tags. My problem is that I need to use text from another control on the page and place it where the "Shape" word is between the DIV tags, but I cant figure out how . I have tried: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write(document.getElementById('User2').value);</script></div>"); and to simplify by removing the reference to the other control: pin3.SetCustomIcon("<div><script>document.write('testing');</script></div>"); Both of these scripts work fine in a normal <div> tag but neither works when wrapped inside the SetCustomIcon method. I am hoping that if I can see how the SDK example is adding a variable between the DIV tags, I might figure out a better approach.....uhh...one that works!

    - Recording the start and end location of a route. I am trying to record the start and end location of a route. I see that the GetRoute method is supposed to return a VERoute object, and I know that i have to get this information from this object. The question I have is how to actually store the VERoute object that is returned. From the documentation I tried two options, but neither of them work: Option 1: var myRoute = map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, null; var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; Option 2: ... map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, "onRouteReturned"); ... //later on in the code function onRouteReturned( myRoute ) { var start = myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong; var end = myRoute.EndLocation.LatLong; } I'm also new to javascript, so maybe I am completely off base. Any help would be appreciated. Tag: Compatibility problem with windows live messenger, msn and windows me

    - Why no return value from a Block? Can anyone tell me why the "Test_Rtn" block is not returning a value What am I doing wrong The Mashup that uses it is "Test_for_Test_Rtn". Both the block and mashup are shared under my Popfly user id (DonG). I'm working on a more complex block that refuses to return a value, so I created the Test_Rtn block to simply test return values. I am obviously doing something wrong, but no matter how I code it, it refuses to return a value. Thanks in advance for your assistance with this!
