  • VETileSourceSpecification.Bounds: tiles requested when panning outside bounds

      • This relates to my earlier post: VE5 stops requesting custom tiles That problem turned out to be due to setting the wrong bounds. However, as long as I only panned, VE continued requesting tiles from my app. It was only when I did a zoom that the out-of-bounds condition was detected and I stopped getting tile requests.

MSN has recently started licensing BOTS on the network.  The huge benefit of a licensed BOT is that it will have contact limitations removed (the reverse list), so that millions of people could connect to the same ID.  Our goal is to

How can you adjust the positioning of these popups so they appear next to the actual pushpins, and not, as in my case, completely off screen. Thanks

      • Hi I thought that in my previous projects, if a data source timed out, the buddy said something like "I am sorry, but I'm finding it hard to reach that source right now, try again later" or something similar. In my current project, I can see that the data source times out by looking at the component views -> Query_Server log, yet the buddy does not say anything, just stops responding.
