Commented Issue: missing function

NicolasBoonaert — Wed, 25 Jun 2008 22:33:54 GMT

map.AddPushPin function is missing. Please add support for it
Comments: ** Comment from web user: NicolasBoonaert **

Hi and thanks for your request, but it seems that this function is deprecated (as we use map.AddShape() using the v5 new VEShape class).

So in VEMap class, we don't have the AddPushpin() function, that's why we don't put it in the helper.

CREATED ISSUE: Wrong description for VEMapOptions

soulsolutions — Sat, 10 May 2008 02:32:56 GMT

VEMapOptions = function()
{
/// <summary>Specifies a traffic warning.</summary>

Should be:
VEMapOptions = function()
{
/// <summary>Contains the options to set when loading the map.</summary>

An update, nicer workaround is available at http://blogs.msdn.com/devkeydet/archive/2008/05/02/updated-workaround-intellisense-for-page-level-map-variables-using-the-virtual-earth-javascript-intellisense-helper.aspx

This approached will get rolled into the next release.

I want to thank you all for this helper, it makes my work a whole lot easier. :)
But i have seen some functions in the API that this helper doesn't cover like the object Polyline and Polygon.
The VEMap also has the functions AddPolyline and AddPolygon but these are never mentioned in the helper.

Are they new or maybe old and therefor not relevant for the helper...

Thanks again

Comments: The reason these things are left out of the intellisense helper is because these items have been depricated in the current release of Virtual Earth. The new object to use instead is VEShape, and the VEMap.AddShape method is used to add them to the map.

Project Description
The purpose of this project is to fully enable JavaScript Intellisense for the Virtual Earth Map Control inside of Visual Studio 2008.

Creating Microsoft Virtual Earth mashups and applications just got a whole lot easier. This JavaScript library enables Intellisense for the Microsoft Virtual Earth 6.1 (current release) AJAX control in Visual Studio 2008.

A video explaining this project is available at http://channel9.msdn.com/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=386000. The video was created before the release of the project. Since the recording, we've released. Please download it, use it, and tell us how we can make it better. We already have a set of works items we are thinking about for the next release. Let us know what we're missing.

Awesome work guys!

NEW POST: NEW RELEASE: 6.1.041708.1040

keydet — Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:17:33 GMT

I am happy to announce that we have a new release to bring Intellisense in sync with the new Virtual Earth Map Control 6.1. In addition to 6.1 compatibility, we also made the following enhancements:

-Consolidated all scripts into a single VEJavaScriptIntellisenseHelper.js file for better portability
-Updated Default.aspx to point to the 6.1 Map Control
-Updated Default.aspx.js to explain how to get intellisense everywhere for a page level map variable
-Added a readme.txt with history

The quick turnaround is a huge testament to the hard work of the devs on this project. Although I spent a good set of hours coordinating, writing a little bit of code, and "building" this release, the majority of the work was done by the community in their free time!

We haven't figured out a way to unit test Intellisense:) or an automated way to validate the helper against the SDK so there is always a chance we missed something. If you you find any bugs or missing pieces, please file a work item at http://www.codeplex.com/VEJS/WorkItem/List.aspx. You can download our 6.1.041708.1040 at https://www.codeplex.com/Release/ProjectReleases.aspx?ProjectName=VEJS&ReleaseId=11198.
