    - Pushpin icon offset in v5 I have a custom icon for my pushpins that "points" to a different pixel than the center of the icon. I've seen a number of posts that claim that the solution for changing the offset is to apply a style which sets the icon's positioning to absolute and shifts, say, top and left. This appears to work in v5, at least for positioing the icon. However, the hover box doesn't seem to respect the new position; the little green dots appear over where the icon would have appeared without the style, and the hover box points to the same empty space. Is there a new way of correctly specifying the icon offset Tag: Live ID SDK

    - What is "High resolution" DTM model in the UK ? I've seen lots of references to this: Microsoft Announce Intermap Technologies for highly accurate and up-to-date elevation data for all of Great Britain but nowhere can I see what this high resoluton actually equates to on the ground (or what is replacing and therefore how much better it is) Does anyone know Thanks Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 'Checkerboard' effect when using road/hybrid mapping About a month ago now I started experiencing a 'checkerboard' effect when viewing Virtual Earth's Road or Hybrid tiles. Every other tile to the north, south east and west is 'missing' i.e. completely blank. This seems only to be happening on my machine (not other clients in my office), and happens whether I'm using my own software to view VE or using a reliable meter like local.live.com. The effect doesn't happen when I switch to using just 'Aerial' tiles. Does anyone have a clue what's happened here and how i can solve the problem Tag: Live ID SDK

    - Retrieving Lat & Lon from an address without a map I have a web form that enables users to enter an address, and is supposed to return a latitude and longitude for that address. Unfortunately, I've been unable to find any articles or code that can return these values. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks! Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 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 have seen a few posts on the tile source not showing in 3D and have tried the code below over and over without success. Finally, while writing this, I noticed that the forum's code snippet parser messed up on the spaces in the http url. So I removed the parameters with spaces in them and it worked. My question now is how do I put back in parameters with spaces I tried substituting the spaces for %20, but that didn't work. Any suggestions Update : I found a related bug which pretty much says I am screwed - http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=1270051&SiteID=1 I will try taking the same route they took, by replacing % with something like # and substituting it on the server side.

    - Detecting if the client doesn't supports Activities Hi I'm testing an activity and having some problems because I don't know how to detect whenever the client doesn't supports activities (old Messengers, web messenger, PocketPC Messenger...). Looking at WLMActivityUtilities.pkg I found this procedure: procedure MSNSLPUserCanNotOpenP4Window() I’ve tried overriding it to show a message to the user and log an exception (just to test it before doing actual cancellation code): procedure overrides MSNSLPUserCanNotOpenP4Window() - Your client doesn't support activities. call inherited MSNSLPUserCanNotOpenP4Window() I’ve tried connecting from MSN Web Messenger (MS oficial web-based client) and the problem is that the procedure is never called/triggered. The Agent says the words previous to send the invitation, but nothing else appears on the conversation window, and nothing is logged (I do logging on XML files too, for easier debugging). How can I detect if the user cannot open/use activities Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 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: Live ID SDK

    - 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.

    - Making a PHP-port, almost working. Hi, I've recently downloaded the package from Connect and saw that there was a C# and a Ruby example, but I use PHP in stead of Ruby, so I decided to port it. I use mcrypt for the AES128-part, because I couldn't find any other library that can do AES128. You can test it at http://admin.ownedia.com/liveid , but it doesn't completely work yet, the signature is invalid, it says. If you want to view the sources, browse to http://admin.ownedia.com/liveid/source . The output you see after logging in is a failed attempt to split() the unencrypted token, the generated signature and the (fatal) error message that the signature did not match. Could somebody help me please I'm nearly there, I think. Greetings, Alex Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 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. Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 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: Live ID SDK

    - 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! Tag: Live ID SDK

    - 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: Live ID SDK

I HAVE A NEW COMPUTER WITH MORE THAN ENOUGH HARDWARE TO RUN VIRTUAL EARTH 3D but while the 2D maps work..the 3D freezes up my computer when I click on it,EXCEPT on rare occasions when for some reason the 3D choses to work. I have checked all the drivers and such..I am a newbie so I don't know all the proper terms and such but I have followed all the directions in the help section for the Virtual Earth program Can anyone put me in touch with Bill Gates...I am sure he would know what to do.

The Live ID rich client SDK will be launching this fall which will allow you to create rich clients to integrate with Windows Live services.

Then it means We'll be able to create Web Apps that could use Windows Live ID as the authentication method, just as we did with Passport (no longer in use)
