I'd say you have misplaced the first semi-colon in

as well as the entire message.

Bing Maps AJAX control in Visual C# form application

That is pretty clear; the first two tell you "I don't understand what you want", whereas the last two are saying "I can't do that". Most programs can't access remote files over FTP. Do you think Notepad would be able to?

Hello, I need of graphic objects (for example panel, picture box, etc..) that they can free-moving on a Form used the mouse and when these objects are a short distance, they must hook up each other like a magnet. For example, we can use two panel on a Form (panel 1 and panel 2). Panel 1 is on the left of Form and panel 2 is on the right of Form. If I push the bottom left of the mouse on the panel 1, I can move panel 1 to panel 2. When panel 1 is a distance of 10 pixel from panel 2, the right border of panel 1 will hook up to left border of panel 2, like a magnet.

There is nothing out of the box that will do this. You're on your own. The closest functionality for comparison would be the snap to grid feature in the designer. Is this a standard winform or WPF?

Here are two articles that describe something similar, only for forms. You might be able to apply the same technique for panels, but I haven't tried myself...

Hi folks,

I'm trying to implement some kind of map feature to my winform application, and in my search I have seen on the following possibilities:
- Google Maps
- Bing Maps

I found that Bing maps perhaps was the closest choice, since I was developing in Visual C#. But, I have searched and searched, and both on MSDN and in this CP-article (a little Virtual Earth Control[^]) there is no explanation on how to start, and add the correct .dll reference?

Can any1 help how I registere the right place, and download the RIGHT .dll for using AJAX bing maps controls? I think thats the only thing, stopping me in developing a map feature in a webbrowser control, to my C# winforms application Frown | :(

I'd suggest you use the Bing Maps WinForm control from CodePlex: http://bingmapscontrol.codeplex.com/[^]

The project has a few videos that will show you how to get started with the control and you should be able to get up and running pretty quickly with it.

Inconsistent Marshalling size

hairy_hats8-Jun-10 1:38

8-Jun-10 1:38

Hi all,

I've got a struct which I'm controlling the Marshalling of using

[StructLayout( LayoutKind.Explicit, Size = 32)]

However I've found that while Marshalling it to a byte[] on a desktop XP machine produces the expected 32 bytes, on an ARM-based WinCE machine it only produces 28 bytes.

How can I get consistent Marshalled byte sizes across platforms, and why doesn't the WinCE .NET CF Marshal it the way I've specified?

TIA Smile | :)

Luc Pattyn8-Jun-10 2:07

MSDN on StructLayout.Size is a bit bizarre. It holds a remark "This field must be equal or greater than the total size, in bytes, of the members of the class or structure. This field is primarily for compiler writers who want to extend the memory occupied by a structure for direct, unmanaged access. For example, you can use this field when working with unions that are not represented in metadata directly."

Which one can read as: the actual size should not exceed the specified size value.

Therefore I recommend that you consider adding dummy members to your struct to obtain the exact size you want.

Problem of controling a listview in another form

It's still a bit rubbish that they give you the ability to specify how the conversion is handled, but then ignore it if they feel like. Oh well, it's working fine with padding. Big Grin | :-D

Re: Problem of controling a listview in another form

There is a Listview in Form1, named "listview1", I try to add a item from Form2, it doesn't work. But no error prompts were given.I have changed the type to "public" for listview1.

In Form2, the code is:

ListViewItem li = new ListViewItem();
li.SubItems.Clear();
li = new ListViewItem(new string[] {"Richard","28","Male"});

Form1 form1 = new Form1();
form1.listView1.Items.Add(li);

It passed successfully without errors, but the listview1 did nothing. where does the problem lie in? Thanks.

There is your problem. Do you know what new means? It means: create another instance of Form1, i.e. a second Form1 looking very much like the first, but not visible as you did not call Show() on it. You do not want another Form1, you want the original one. So pass a reference, do not use new here.

But how to use listview1 in Form1 directly? It seems we can't use "Form1.listview1.Items..." in Form2.

One method to look at would be to use an event in Form2 and subscribe to it from Form1. This event would be used to notify Form1 that there was a new value that needs adding to the listview.
