• AngelOnLine Getting more than 250 results

  When I use the MSN API to search for more than 250 results (50 at a time), I am continually given the last 50 results (200-249) over and over again. This error is easily duplicated.  Just search for any common word like "test" and use offest=200 and count=50 (return 50 results, starting at result 200).  You'll be returned 50 results.  Then change the offset=250 and search again.  You'll be returned the same 50 re ...Show All

• Scott Sargent Robot Invaders: terrible SDKs, please allow others/self-written ?

  I think it's a great idea to have a contest about creating bots. Bots are growing very popular, and a contest like this is a great way to show off what messenger can do. The criteria are very acceptable too, especially integrating activities would be a lot of fun. I had some great bot ideas, and I was very very eager to work them out, but there was one major thing that spoilt it all: You are forced to use one of the three SDKs on the site to be ...Show All

• Pennan Web Presence

  This is driving me insane. :) I am just trying to see if it is possible to show whether or not a contact is online. The only catch is its an internal SIP connection, but I want external people to be able to see if they are logged in. In my case, I run a CS department, and we all log into Messenger each day, if I could show on a public website the status of my agents they would know how long of a wait to expect. ...Show All

• Manikandan S Clarification

  So if i'm right, Microsoft is releasing MSN Messenger Activity API's for the protocol Good, in a way, but will Microsoft change they're licence to allow us to create applications (such as MSN Messenger Robots and 3rd Party MSN Messenger Clients) that will connect to the .NET Messenger Network , because if not, then this is really just for refrence.... Well I think encryption would be fine, given that transla ...Show All

• ags2886 How to call a web server asyncronously without ActiveX

  My article at http://www.codeproject.com/jscript/MSNMessengerActivity.asp shows how to call a web server from your MSN Messenger Activity without using ActiveX. When the update gets added by tomarrow hopefully then it will also show how I simulated a mouse pointer so that each user can see the others mouse movements without using ActiveX.   Check them out if you need either of these techniques for your activities. Yes, it's ...Show All

• Bok Geen Live Messenger - Not showing blocked contacts

Tried to post feedback but as always microsofts websites are not working as they should. well as it has already been noted in several topics, Windows Live Messenger is still in beta testing, and this issue will have been picked up on. It is still a very buggy applicatio ...Show All

• GLM Will # of votes per time avail be considered?

  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! 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't say anything about this in the ru ...Show All

• TheWacoKid Todd @ Devdays in Amsterdam question (about bots on MSN)

  Hi Todd, On the devdays confernce today in Amsterdam you mentioned that to make a bot on MSN you could either go through the Partners, or you could also talk directly through MSN (but have some limitations then) and parse the send strings yourself. Now browsing the forums and the messages about the Bots I see no where mentioned that you can also do it yourself WITHOUT using these partner platforms. Could you clarify how and where I coul ...Show All
