    - VE application Design question At present GEO RSS is supported in version 5 but the capabilities are limited. Writing a cross browser AJAX parser with the help of an AJAX library is no longer a monumental task. At the server end you could use .Net web services, but many including Microsoft use a HTTP Handler (ashx file) responding with tight XML or streams. Basically if your organisation has the development skills the sky is the limit. As a starting point I would suggest that you get up to speed with the VE API, before tackling the AJAX side of things, as you will find on this forum there are numerous little quirks to programming with the VE API. As regard HTTP Handlers the easiest way to write your code is using a web form with ALL the calling logic contained within Page_Load, when finised just port it to an ashx file.

    - SDK exception Hi, It sounds like an issue with either missing or not having the correct version of asp.net ajax installed on your test server according to this thread: http://forums.asp.net/p/1100173/1670431.aspx Can you try that link out and see if it helps Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - Setting ZIndex for VEShapeLayer VEShapeLayer's are just <div> tags, and there aren't any supported (or even unsupported methods that I can find) that allow you to set the style within the tag. Something you might want to try is using a document.getElementByID("layerid") where layerid is the actual ShapeLayerID and change the style/z-index from there. Hope that helps, Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - www.viawindowslive.com Beta is Live! The site is only in Beta and missing content. The Virtual Earth section is pretty good with content from ViaVE migrated. My highlights are the aggregated VE blog: http://www.viawindowslive.com/Blog/VirtualEarth.aspx (orginal migration needs to be sorted by date, from now on it will be fine) The gallery looks cool: http://www.viawindowslive.com/Gallery/tabid/75/agentType/ViewType/PropertyTypeID/1/Default.aspx And I have added two tools from my TechEd presentation: http://www.viawindowslive.com/Resources/VirtualEarth/VirtualEarthQuickGuide.aspx http://www.viawindowslive.com/Resources/VirtualEarth/VirtualEarthLocationFinder.aspx John.

    - Restrict results returned by DisambiguationDialog You'll have to create your own disabiguation box. (Which really isn't that hard.) After that, i n the VEMap.Find, make sure you pass false into the useDefaultDisambiguation parameter and a callback function. In the callback function, you'll have to filter the results and then show you own disambiguation box. http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb429645.aspx Tag: Do we have an outage?

I did a diagnosis check and it mentioned something about cipher strength, I am not quite sure what they are talking about on this matter and not sure how to change anything. And then it mentions registry keys. Is there someone whom I could speak with via the net on Skype or Microsoft Tech Support who can help me please If so please e-mail me at lttlmischievious@yahoo.com . I am losing money and going broke from not being able to work. Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - Customizing the WebAuth Sign-in link IFRAME Why is it recommended to use an iframe to display the sign in-link If the end-user can implement Web Auth, he can also find a way to display a sign in/out-link. The iframe is just a call to the Live ID-server which is completely unnecessary if you ask me. I like to build sites according to standards (HTML 4.01 Strict) and have them validate without errors, using the recommended iframe would invalidate my website (as iframe isn't implemented in HTML 4.01 Strict, see here ) Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - multiple 3D maps on a page The same thing happens if you open 2 tabs in IE7 and try to open 3D maps on each of them. The thing that you need to remember (Assuming of course that I understand this properly ) is that a 3D map is controlled by a separate program installed to your computer the first time you use it, while 2D maps are all handled by a browser control, with no additional computer involvement than is usually present with a web application that uses javascript. The resource use of the 3D map is pretty intense, so having 2 independent ones might be a bad thing anyway, but it appears that this version does not allow that by design.

    - Grouping of pushpins and vice versa you need clustering and proper LOADERS for large pin data sets. MS API seems to have absolutely nothing of real world use let alone stuff to assemble things out of. the MS Layer facility neither has automatic clustering not lazy loads of data, as a result the piece of ***** tried to load in our app 10000 of pins resulting in browser crash. We have to write our own stuff. I hate having to reinvent the wheel. Only benefit the VE has is maps cover more and in more detail it seems that their competitors. Other than that I am personally upset as I have to wrote both clustering and lazy loaders to get our app working and scaling. I hope MS is listening as I do all I can before we dump their tech and I will have to use what I hate G's solutions Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - I need help !!!! You have saved the page, right (Because the editor says that it cannot add images to na unsaved page.) When you click on the "insert image" button, a dialog appears, displaying your gallery. At the very bottom of this dialog there are three buttons "upload pictures", "ok", "cancel", so the first one opens an extended file upload dialog. If you cannot see the complete dialog, try to close it with the [x] button, then reopen it. It seems that on smaller screens the lower part of the dialog might be hidden by the page footer.

    - VE and Windows Presentation Foundation Duncan, many people have built prototypes using wpf and VE. The two strategys seem to be the use of the webbrowser control: http://blogs.msdn.com/dditweb/archive/2007/08/22/using-virtual-earth-in-your-wpf-application.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/publicsector/archive/2007/02/27/using-wpf-virtual-earth-and-wpf-e-together.aspx This lets you use the VE API. or by building your own tilehandler and only using the tiles from VE, none of the API. these two are interesting in the 3d world. http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx PostID=266208 http://yousef.dardiry.com/wpf-earth-virtual-earth-3d-using-the-presentation-foundation/ What your talking about is the later. I think it is very exciting but you limit yourself to an application that has to be installed. What I think is very exciting is Silverlight: http://www.andybeaulieu.com/silverlight/DestroyAll/Default.html http://wpfwonderland.wordpress.com/2007/01/21/wpfe-example-virtual-earth-overlay/ Anyone else have some good links John.

    - Are "Windows Live Data" and "Astoria" the same or different? Hi, Michael, excellent question! Windows Live Data and Astoria are different, but potentially complementary projects. Both projects are similar in their goal to expose data as a service that can be consumed by Web or smart clients and on their use of a REST-like model that employs standard Internet protocols such as HTTP and XML to access, operate on, and encode data. However, Astoria is a toolkit to allow applications to expose structured data from relational databases or from Astoria��s online storage service while Windows Live Data is a service and permission mechanism that exposes information from Windows Live services such as Windows Live Contacts. Astoria and Windows Live Data are complementary projects. Windows Live Data offers today an implementation and 'proof of concept' of the principles Astoria advocates. In the future, the Astoria toolkit could help developers create applications that consume Windows Live Data more easily. Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - Mozilla versus Microsoft (oh.oh) Could you share the URL for the page We develop for both IE and FF which means they both get there share of bugs ;-) sometimes not the same bugs for each... There is a fair few differences with FF and IE mostly around the handling of web requests and XML but normally those errors generate script errors. Before IE shutdown did you see an "Operation Aborted" exception Thanks! Tag: Do we have an outage?

    - IE crashing when adding pushpins to my site in 3D mode ! An IE crash is typically due to an issue with video drivers or other browser add-ins conflicting with the 3D control loading. You can output a log file of the exception which will help narrow down what the issue is. Go to the following directory: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Earth 3D (on Vista it's slightly different, it's under Users/LocalLow). You should see a file named user.config. Open in any text editor (like notepad) and add the following lines immediately after <Microsoft.MapPoint.Rendering3D.Properties.Settings>: <setting name="Logging" serializeAs="String"> <value>True</value> </setting> When you start the app the next time, a log file will be created in the directory: C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Virtual Earth 3D Post the log file when you're done.

The site appears to be working. If it is not working for you then I would say the issue is at your end.
