Virtual Earth Ink Progress
I’ve been fiddling some more with Virtual Earth Ink.
I discovered that there are cases where the tiles don’t get realigned before going over to the inking interface. In order to realign the tiles, I need to use the map object’s SetCenter command and pass in the current lat/long values of the map.That actually calls SetCenterandZoom, before recreating the map anew with fresh tiles (in the order that I need them). This is creating a big problem for me. When I zoom, I need to realign the tiles. But in doing so, this puts me in an infinite loop. So I have to come up with another way around this. In the meantime, if you pan a bit after zooming, the pan will fire off the realignment. Then when you go to INK the tiles, they will be in correct order.
The other thing I have been playing with is setting pins upon a search, which is not a problem. However, I want to persist the pins to the inking surface. I know how to do it, but am having trouble with calculating the position. I just have to keep at it, which of course, I will.

My First Time out with VPC
I finally gave in and am trying out VPC.
It took minutes to install but then setting up a “whole new computer” on there is taking forEVer.

Speaking at TechEd South Africa!
There, I said it. With permission.
I am SOOOOOOOOOO excited. I have never been to Africa before and plan to definitely get some exploring since we will be right next to Pilanesberg National Park.
There is ONE more person who will be making this announcement and flying together with me from JFK to Johannesburg. I will wait for that person to blog, rather than spoiling the fun for him or her. Then I will link back. That didn’t take long. It’s Kate Gregory (oh big shock, right?). Kate and I are good friends so this will make it an extra special trip. And we are even looking forward to the 10 hour layover in Frankfurt. We will definitely go into Frankfurt and have a look around.
Oh yeah – my talks!
