    - FindLocation issues Hi all, I'm having an issue with the 'finding' of infornation using the FindLocation() method. I got it working on my implementation of VE v4.0 a couple of months ago, and it all worked fine. Just recently though, the results returned don't seem as comprehensive. For example: I'm sure that searching on 'Croydon' used to return Croydon in the UK as well as other Croydon's around the world. Now, however, the UK location does not get returned. Likewise, it used to return from UK postcodes, but not anymore. I was just wondering if something has changed within the API My implementation isn't live yet, so no URL I'm afraid. Cheers for any help, Michael. Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - Developing Messenger bot Hi. I'm developing Messenger bot. It will be based on .NET 2.0 and be using DotMSN library to handle messenger protocol. I'm trying to enable activities handling in this bot. Right now I'm able to get data from activity sent using SendData method of Channel. But I need to send data to activity client from my bot. Could anyone help on this I've sniffed messenger packets and it seems that there is direct TCP connection for data exchange. Is there any docs on that protocol Thanks.

    - Required / Optional Fields for AdCenter API I'm a bit new to using MSDN documentation, but looking through the " AdCenter API Programming Reference ", I do not see where it defines which fields are required and which are optional. For example, is AdCenterOrderItem.SubstParam2 required for a new OrderItem What about AdCenterOrderItem.BroadMatchAmt Is this documented anywhere, or do I just need to use trial and error to see which service calls are rejected (I hope not.) Also, If I do not set AdCenterCampaign.CampaignDesc on addCampaigns() I get an error code: "-600029: The campaign description is invalid or missing," but in the MSDN documentation for this property is one of the few cases where it says: "This field does not need to be set." AdCenterOrder.Status is documented as "a read-only property," but if I do not set it for addOrders() I get an AxisFault: "Non nillable element 'status' is null." Is there a newer version of the docs I should be using or am I not interpreting them properly Thanks, Bryan Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - VE_MapDispatch_SymbolLib is null or not an object Hey, I'm developing a winform app with Virtual Earth integrated (webbrowser control, .NET). I'm trying to read locations from a database and then draw them on the map. This is how I do that (for every point): Code Block var xto = new JSXmlToObject(); var dataView = xto.Deserialize(xml); var latlong = new VELatLong(dataView.lat, dataView.long); var pushpin = new VEShape(VEShapeType.Pushpin, [latlong]); First I deserialize an xml string so that the C# object with the data I'd like to view on the map can be read by Javascript. After that I try to instantiate a new pushpin object, passing the latlong coordinates. When the program reaches this line of code, I get an error: VE_MapDispatch_SymbolLib is null or not an object. I tried to pass hardcoded coordinates, but I still get this error. What could be the problem Best regards, Vincent Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - Place VE Tiles onto sphere just as a side project, I'm trying to place virtual earth tiles onto a sphere made in WPF. I am using the 4 largest tiles created as a single PNG. My problem is with placing the texture coordinates, the continents are all the wrong size because I don't know what parts of the tile to match with the spheres latitudes (because I don't know where the latitudes are on the tile). Anyone know to identify latitudes on the tile the equator and the ends are no brainers, but in between...no idea. 2d image http://farm1.static.flickr.com/124/329370551_124631d76b_m.jpg 3d attempt http://farm1.static.flickr.com/145/329370550_16df4d398d_m.jpg Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - account is temporarily unavailable Hi, We have several bots running and with one of them we experience a lot of problems, The status is online, thats because its a provisioned account, but the message can not be delivered. We think that someone is trying to hack the password,. We tested it with an another account and when you try to login 12 times with a wrong password the system goos in somekind of lockdown. The strange thing is that happends only when the the account is not logged in. So we think that someone is running a script, and when the bot is offline for a few sec. it happends. Is there enyone who experience the same problems thanks Stuart Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - 600kb uncompressed.... jeebus Howdy Via Virtual Earthers, I've used VE on 4 sites up until now and my experience with it has been smooth and more importantly fun. Alas I have a few niggles with Virtual Earth: Virtual Earth clearly has more features than google maps, but is there a way MS can perhaps divide up the javascript into more reasonably scripts. I'd consider 3d, bird's eye view and maybe even sattellite views to be optional extras that could be included in an optional JS file. Maybe this has been debated before, but I couldn't find a discussion. 600kb is just too damned big. 80-20 rule seems to apply to the virtual earth feature set. 80% of mashers use 20% of features. Why doesn't the pushpin icon support PNGs in IE6 It'd be great if I could use a transparent PNG as the pin source without having to add the pin, get the pins element then swap the image for a span with AlphaImageLoader. Thanks for a cool product, -CVertex Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - Read RSS feed from SOAPBOX I'm familiar with consuming RSS feeds in BuddyScript. The current task is somewhat more complicated. I want to call http://soapbox.msn.com/rss.aspx userId=469324002549308322 to retrieve a list of all videos for the specific user. Then I want to "sort" this list based on the vidAt:rating node (highest rating first). The sorting has to be done in BuddyScript since the SoapBox RSS API does not provide this. I have 2 problems: 1. Reading the "vidAt:rating" does not return any value. Regular nodes such as guid are displayed 2. What's the BuddyScript code to sort this feed based on the video rating Something to get me started http://www.codeproject.com/gadgets/SoapBoxGadget/feeddetail.jpg shows the format of the RSS XML.

    - map.ShowMiniMap(); I get a default MiniMap display . . . but it will not render the same way it appears on the interactive SDK as well as "maps.live.com". Both of these views show a centered map with a white 6 pixil border with a 1 pixil #cbcbcb stroke around that. The MiniMap that renders on my page is right justified and almost blends into the main map behind and shows 12 pixils of white on the left. Is this something that needs to be manipulated with CSS inside of the ShowMiniMap Method Or, because this is a default rendering of the MiniMap is one just stuck with what you get If this can be fixed or manipulated somehow --- can this Method then be called and placed inside of a moving div that is similar to what appears on the maps.live.com site or what I was able to develop with the Google API I searched everything I could before I posted but I have had no luck finding any documentation pertaining to the MiniMap other than the very basic MSDN examples in ShowMinMap under VEMap Methods.

Her is the some of the code for adding the pushpins, it��s about 50 pins. var pin = new VEPushpin(pinID, new VELatLong(xpos, ypos), iconpath, title, description, 'defaultPin' , '' , '' ); The variables are of course not null.

    - VE Version 6 Wish List There is no better test for an API than developers writing real world applications, to that end as a VE developer I would wish to see enhancements to the VE API, and I am sure other developers are of the same view. Below I have listed what functionality I would wish to see in the next version of VE, and I would encourage other developers to post details of functionality they would wish to be included in the next version. Distance calculation in KM/Miles for two points on map. (Included within Google Maps) Bearing calculation for two points on map. Area calculation for a polygon. Enhanced scale display i.e. 1:50000, 1:10000 etc Coordinate conversion algorithm to UTM and other common grid formats. (Universal Transverse Mercator) Static geo-referenced labels without an A link or rollover functionality. The ability to display more than one route on a map. Circles/Squares/rectangles to be included as shape objects. Clustering system for pushpins, polygons, polylines etc. E.g. Display only between set scales. Support for reading ESRI shape files. ( AJAX feed and .Net application) Whilst much of the functionality above I have included in my own software which has required serious coding, I am sure that many VE developers would wish to see this functionality added to the VE API along with their own suggestions.

    - SetCustomIcon pointing to local image file does not work in v5 Hi, I'm using Virtual Earth maps inside a Winforms application. My C# application, everytime that receives a new lat/long position, writes dinamically a HTML file in the user's "temp" directory. This HTML file containing the map specification is loaded into a webBrowser control. Untill today, I have no problems with Virtual Earth V4 API. I could draw pushpins with custom icons without problems; the HTML file was in user's "temp" directory and images referenced in the pushpins were located in another path on disk. Today started upgrading application to V5. I've seen that now pushpins and polygons must be added like shapes. Then I was trying to show a simple pushpin with setCustomIcon method. I read from the documentation that: " If the customIcon field is a string that begins with the < character, it is considered to be HTML, and it is used to create the pushpin icon. All other strings are treated as URLs to an image . If the URL is invalid or doesn't point to an image, then nothing will be displayed for the pushpin icon. " I used to do this with Virtual Earth V4: Code Block AddPin(40.405305,-3.68926,'C:\\image.gif', 'MADRID','Mostoles'); Now I'm just doing more or lees the same: Code Block shape.setCustomIcon("C:\\image.gif"); What's the problem here I understand V5 lets you point images on local paths, as V4 did. I don't want neither to copy images to user's "temp" directory nor upload them to a webserver like IIS. I hope somebody can give me a quick solution. Thanks very much.

    - Two Weeks - No Answers? [Moderators: I wasn't sure which forum to post these issues in, so feel free to move the topic to the Bugs forum if you'd rather have it there.] Task: Display all photos from all the photo albums in my Facebook account. My Shared mashup: My_FB_Photo_Albums Bug When I try to add a third Facebook block to get my Facebook account Name , using the getUserInfo function, and adding it's output to the photo display block, only one photo is displayed -- the first photo from the first album. There are a total of 18 photos in two albums available. Since several of the photo display blocks use a "Name" field, it looks like the Facebook block should be modified so that it also returns the photo owner's Name in the getPhotos function, and maybe their Profile URL as well I tried using the Combine block with the Facebook getPhotos block and a third Facebook getUserInfo block, but that did not work. What would be the suggested workaround for this at the present time Bug I've tried every photo display block that MS provides in Popfly, but all of them mangle these Facebook-posted photos to the point where they are really bad . Both, the thumbnail images and the larger size versions, are very blurry and pixelated. You can see the original photos from links on my Profile page ( http://www.facebook.com/profile.php id=709239610 ). It seems that the photo display blocks do not like these JPG images that are compressed at 20% Do the photo display blocks take the image type (file extension) into account before it resizes an image I ask because there are different methods of resizing a photo based on it's type (JPG, BMP, GIF, TIF, PNG, etc.), which attempt to keep quality at it's highest level. Is there any way to get better quality Is there a particular photo format or image size that works well with the photo display blocks Bug When I click on an image or the link to "display original image" (such as in PhotoTiles), a new window opens and displays yet another terrible quality, smaller-than-original, image. Why is the original image not being displayed "as uploaded" (size and quality), like it does from the Facebook View Photos links The new window URL appears to be the Facebook site, but what I see are NOT the images I uploaded . Suggestion In all of the photo display blocks, the text sizes being used in the output displays seems way too big to me. There is barely enough room in most of them to display three or four words , let alone a complete photo caption of two or three lines . I would like to suggest that these blocks allow the user to select a font size, from a pre-defined list of font sizes. From this user-selected font size, the Silverlight code can then select the most appropriate font face, weight, etc. for the specific control (displayed item) being used. By the way, the Carousel block still does not allow some photos to be "brought to the front" of the carousel, as I reported in the Bugs forum a while back. You click photo A but photo B is the one that gets moved to the front. Just happened to notice it again tonight, so thought I'd mention it. Thank you, Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - map.GetRoute loses metric unit after user selects from amibiguous location Hi guys, I'm trying to return directions in kilometres and the current code works fine when the user enters a disambiguous location, but, when an ambiguous location is entered and the user selects one from the subsequent list of possible locations, the corresponding directions returned and in miles. It seems like the handler for ambiguous locations doesn't remember the parameter for unit of measurement that I specified in the original map.GetRoute call - is this a bug or have I not set a parameter that I'm supposed to For an example of directions in Miles, mouse over one of the pushpins and type in "Sydney" - then from the list of possible locations, select "Sydney, New South Wales, Australia". To see the directions returned in Kilometres, type in a disambiguous location - "Sydney, New South Wales, Australia".

Hi I recently upgraded my VE code to v4, and whilst the 2d stuff still works perfectly well (even the Birds' Eye View works fine), all i get in 3D view is a green blur (i.e. just the globe) regardless of my zoom level. It doesn't matter where i look at in the world - whether it be here in the UK or anywhere in the US. It's almost as if the 3D tiles aren't loading, as the navigation control and the orientation widget are both present. I just can't see any details on anything - very frustrating! The 3D examples on the maps.live.com (i.e. Tower of London and the Millennium Wheel) do exactly the same thing, so it's not my code at fault. Has anyone any ideas as to what might be going on Thanks Spencer Tag: getting latitude and longitude

    - SubmitOrderForApproval fails with -100595 Sometimes SubmitOrderForApproval fails: Server was unable to process request. ---> |-100595|-1|Please check the order start date. It should be set to today or later.| This happens if an order is created with the current day as the start date but not submitted on the same day. Could SubmitOrderForApproval fix this automatically (perhaps as an option) Tag: getting latitude and longitude

I am making use of MS Virtual Erath Interactive SDK for displaying map and directions information.

Is there any way , by which I can make use of the SDK to fetch latitude and longitude information, which I can pass to the VELatLong() method.

I don't really understand what you mean by this line:

"Is there any way , by which I can make use of the SDK to fetch latitude and longitude information,"

What is your criteria for getting lat/longs Are you passing in an address and then geocoding it to get lat/longs You want to click on the map and then get lat/longs from mouse click

VELatLong() is a class with two properties - Latitude and Longitude.

It is used to represent a map location.

There are various ways to get the VELatLong in virtual earth, have good read of the iSDK.
