• Abhinav Mohan 500 x 500 ?

  I am designing my app @ 500x500 as the documentation mentions this, but it seems like this resolution is too big as the app doesnt fit in the messenger window and scrollbars are visible. Also, why is there a limit of 500x500 when the msn app window can be resized and there is a possibility to scroll within the window Can I somehow resize and lock it to 500x500, hiding the scrollbars when the app is started ...Show All

  Will the time an app has been on the site be considered when tallying the votes An app that's added late in the game won't have a chance to gain votes like the older entries yet may actually be more popular with less time to prove it. Thanks in advance! Thanks for clearing that up. Same question. Maybe the total score for the views could be (# of views/# of days on site). I am quite sure this is NOT the case. 1) It doesn ...Show All

• Rob Jones API Questions

  I've run into a couple of issues in my development. Both are easy enough to work around but I'd prefer clarification if possible. The first issue is with the response. I seem to be getting a garbage character at the beginning of my response stream. This is preventing me from duming the response directly into the XmlDocument.Load() method. To verify I wrote a console stub and dumped the stream to the screen and it shows as a " " there. I've wo ...Show All

When the layer is added map.AddLayer(MyLayer); or is shown map.ShowLayer(MyLayerID); the map location is moved and zoomed to show all the pushpins within that layer. I don't want the map to move or zoom when the layer is shown, I'd prefer the map to stay at the current view and zoom level, and the layer to be shown. Is there anyway to stop the map from moving when a layer is ...Show All
