    - 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: Block Description Information

    - How to allow unlimited number of users of a MSN Messenger bot? I advice you do like this: You can apply one mainly MSN account like MSNBuddy@hotmail.com . This is for your broadcast this MSN account. Then you can apply MSNBuddy1@hotmail.com , MSNBuddy2@hotmail.com ... and MSNBuddyN@hotmail.com . You can say "The number of my buddy reach the limit" when someone add MSNBuddy@hotmail.com . You can tell him add MSNBuddy1@hotmail.com to instead . Like this, You will get 1500* N for your robot. HT wrote: 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. Tag: Block Description Information

    - Activity Pane not loading page Thanks for the quick response. This brings up another question though...the xml file has a url in it. In my case I need to be able to drive the activity pane to a variety of urls. Is there a method to do something like that In other words with one response from the bot I'd like to include a particular page...and in a different response yet another web page...ultimately there might be hundreds of urls that my bot would direct users to. Ultimately I'm not really doing activities, but rather acting as a traffic cop directing my users to different sites based on the questions they ask. Tag: Block Description Information

    - Variable in setCustomIcon ? Thanks for the reply. I will try your suggestion of declaring the HTML outside the setCustomIcon method. I noticed the interactive SDK used that technique, but the MSDN reference placed the HTML inside the method's argument....which is the way I did it. You are right about variable scope. In my case, I will use the value of a control which is global (getElementById.....) Tag: Block Description Information

    - Recording the start and end location of a route. Looks like the problem is being in the quotes around your "onRouteReturned" in this line: map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, "onRouteReturned"); Should be: map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft", null, null, onRouteReturned); But it would help to see your entire file to duplicate your problem. Anyhow below I've made some sample code which does what you need. <html> <head> <title>Virtual Earth - Driving Directions Bug</title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"> <script src=" http://dev.virtualearth.net/mapcontrol/v4/mapcontrol.js"></script > <script> var map = null; var myRoute; function GetMap() { map = new VEMap('myMap'); map.LoadMap(new VELatLong(47.627595506391756,-122.24291235208511), 5, "r", false,null, false); map.GetRoute("Space Needle", "Microsoft",VEDistanceUnit.Kilometers,null,DisplayRoute); } function DisplayRoute(route) { myRoute = route; alert(myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong.Latitude); alert(myRoute.StartLocation.LatLong.Longitude); } </script> </head> <body onload="GetMap();"> <div id="myMap" style="position:relative; width:400px; height:400px;"></div> </body> </html> After the route loads, you should see the lat/longs appear in a pop-up alert.

    - Map Control position Sampat wrote: Hi, Is there a way where in I could move the map control from the left hand side to the top as it was earlier (with version 2 of Mapcontrol.js). If yes can you please send me the code snippet. Thanks, Sampat. If I understand exactly what your saying is that you want the v3 dashboard to be positioned (and probably look similar) to the v2 dashboard. I mean you could hack the API to position the v3 dashboard to be in the center, but it'll overlap the center of the map which will look really ugly. As to reverting to a v2 dashboardish style with v3 functionality, I don't think thats possible. Tag: Block Description Information

    - How to view textured maps? This was the blog to announce it: http://heptazane.spaces.live.com/Blog/cns!8D0761EFF7586128!306.entry But I didn't get a responce It appears the tilehandler is looking for a parameter: http://r0.ortho.tiles.virtualearth.net/tiles/r0 g=72&shading=hill So I guess without an updated to the VE API you can't have it by default.......but you should be able to add it as a layer.

Another thing, I may not have put the right path to the image.

    - Internal Server Error when trying to GET windows Live Contacts Dear 'little miss confused": However, by looking at your code, I suspect the problem might be on how the Authorization header is constructed. It should be of the form: Authorization: WLID1.0 t="<RPS Token>" But the code you have to add the authorization header: request.Headers.Add( "Authorization" , "WLID1.0 t=\"t=" + oID.ExportAuthString() + "=\"" ); will produce somthing like this: Authorization: WLID1.0 t=" t= <RPS Token> = " In the text above, I marked in red the stuff I think is redundant (the additional 't=' before the token and the '=' at the end) but I might be wrong because I'm not familiar with the token that the WL ID client returns. I'll investigate a little more about the WLID client to see if I'm right or not. In the meantime, try this code to generate the authorization header and let me know if it works: request.Headers.Add( "Authorization" , "WLID1.0 t=\"" + oID.ExportAuthString() + "\"" ); Also, the problem might be with how you generate the token with WL ID client. You need to get a ticket using the MBI policy. How are you getting the ticket Are you using Ws-Trust If you are, check your PolicyReference on the XML for the call to Ws-Trust is defined as ��MBI�� as shown below. <wsp olicyReference URI = ""MBI""></wsp olicyReference> Let me know if these suggestions work! P.S: A 500: Internal Server error typically indicates a problem with our server, not with your code so I'll check why we are returning that error. Tag: Block Description Information

    - DEP blockin Live Messenger 8.1 I cured this problem on my Vista Home Basic install: 1) Right click on the Messenger shortcut icon on your desktop; 2) Click on Properties; 3) Click on the 'Shortcut' tab; 4) Click on the 'Advanced...' button; 5) Put a tick in the 'Run as Administrator' box & click OK. I have no idea why this works but I can use Messenger Live now without DEP closing the app. Hope this helps, Jules. Tag: Block Description Information

    - Windows Live Id and Browser Mail I'm wondering if anyone got the OpenAuthenticatedBrowser(...) method working I've got a small chunk of code that creates the identity and authenticates: IdentityManager identityMgr = IdentityManager.CreateInstance( AppID, AppName ); _identity = identityMgr.CreateIdentity(); _identity.Authenticate(); This goes through all right (if I call _identity.IsAuthenticated(), it returns true). However, when I call: _identity.OpenAuthenticatedBrowser( "http://mail.live.com", "lbi" ); , it doesn't function correctly. Instead of being signed into the site, I'm sent to https://login.live.com/ppsecure/sha1auth.srf lc=1033 which claims that I entered an incorrect password. Of course, if I repeat the password that I just typed into the authentication box a moment ago into the new browser window, I'm logged in correctly. Does anyone have this working Is there something I'm doing incorrectly or missing Is there a specific AppID/AppName I should be using I know that with the Windows Live Search AppIDs, you have to have one created, but I don't see anything similiar for Windows Live ID. What about the second argument passed to the OpenAuthenticateBrowser method Is there a specific policy I should be using Any help is appreciated. Tag: Block Description Information

We don't have any blocks that use nested objects, mainly because we felt that flat objects would be simpler for the user. Not saying it isn't possible just that we have avoided doing it.
