Add a bit of ‘Bing’ to your silverlight maps(earthware.co.uk)

submitted by crpietschmann(11.3k) 2 years, 11 months ago

As you cannot have missed in the news recently Microsoft has re-branded its search offering to be called “Bing”. This means Virtual Earth is now called Bing Maps for Enterprise. Yesterday Microsoft automatically updated the Ajax Virtual Earth control to use the new Bing logo and you may have wondered why the Silverlight map control was not also updated? The reason is that the logo is a resource in the Silverlight control assembly and is not pointing to an external file. So does that mean we have to wait for a new release of the Bing Silverlight map control before the logo will get changed? Well yes and no, if you want it to be automatically changed you will have to wait for the next release but there is nothing stopping you changing it yourself now by following the steps below. read more...

Creating Visual Studio Templates from your Web Projects(west-wind.com)

submitted by rstrahl(7226) 3 years ago

Visual Studio has the nice capability to create project templates from existing projects and with a little bit of work it's real easy to create a project environment that's ready to roll without having to dig for related components first. This applies to Web projects more than anything for me as I have a fair bit of generic utility code that is project specific and needs to be added to just about all projects. Templates make this real quick and easy. Here's how. read more...
