creating a customized Bing Map - windows

I'm currently working on a project (Water Information System) and I really need to create a simple customized map for the software I'm currently working on.
The maps would only have info. about the communities around, water links and closest water purification chambers
How do i create a create a customized bing map where
1. Map Admins can create and update the map (by adding new water chambers/ info)
2. Users can easily view only the customized map.
I'm having problems doing that with the BING MAP SDK + Visual Studio 2010 + Silverlight.
Please any possible solution, hint or suggestion. Thanks

Not sure if you're still looking for help on this ...
I have done something similiar but instead of using the Silverlight BingMaps control, I've used the AJAX instead, and controlled it all via Javascript.
You'd want to have 2 screens for your project - one where the Admins can plot and drop their data (water chambers) and you save those to a database with their Geo coordinates.
the 2nd screen would be the end-users loading the map, and you would create another EntityCollection layer holding all of the data pulled from the database.
Here is a sample project I found that should provide you a template to get started

How to format tile view in Microsoft SharePoint

Currently my SharePoint website looks like this image
I was wondering if there is a way to make the section with the links smaller (maybe by about 25%) and into two rows of five while still keeping that default tile view SharePoint provides. I've looked into custom formatting with JSON, but I'm not sure how to replicate the default tile view using this method. Also, I'm completely clueless on how to edit a whole section's size as there is no option when editing the web part. Any help is appreciated.

Xamamarin Forms Essentials and Xamarin Forms Maps Find generic places like restaurants or bars

I have gotten Xamarin Essentials and Xamarin Maps to work. I'm trying to figure out how to get them to do a search for generic things like restaurants or bars or hospitals or whaterve. I can geocod and get location, use that to get address, but how do I get the places around the user?
I am still very new to Xamarin and doing this for a school project.
As this link shows: "There is no way to constrain Nearby Search or Text Search to only return specific fields. To keep from requesting (and paying for) data that you don't need, use a Find Place request instead."
And in this link you can understand how you can find restaurant or bars near the user using the Find Place with the formatted_address.
You can follow the link to create your request, and if you have any doubts, please, edit your question of what you did and we will help you. Have fun.

custom gallery from user phone

I want to be able to show the user images from his phone gallery, and pick one or more, the images should be displayed in 2 or more columns according to the user choice.
I looked for some plugins, and didn't find one that solves that problem.
Is that possible using conventional Android/iOS functionality?
If not, I could build a custom gallery for the user, but the question is- how do I get all the gallery names (Video/Camera/Screenshots) etc.) and file paths?
Tried to look in nativescript-imagepicker, but it doesn't seem to give me that functionality. Any help would be appriciated
If you like to customise the layout then you got to build one from scratch. You would have to use the native apis, MediaStore on Android / PhotoKit on iOS to read available image list and wrap them on your own layout.

What is imgMain control in visual Basic 6?

I'm using a VB6 application as a reference and have come across imgMain. I'm assuming its an image control, however, I cannot find the object on any of the forms. It's used to load the image. I'm just not sure what's going on with this. I'm assuming its an IMAGE CONTROL, but I cannot find this on any of the forms? it's mentioned a lot of times in teh application as it lets you view incoming faxes and stuff.
Without having a look on source code i assume It might be custom user control that was created for some reasons probably to extend basic picturebox control.
One thing i can advise you is to further inspect code and dig to code of this custom control. If code for this control is not available then see what methods and properties instances of that particular control uses and compare them with regular picturebox.

Visualizing the SiteMap of a large (page number) website

I'm looking for a tool or service that can spider a web domain with a large number of pages, create a sitemap, and then visualize that map in a way that will help me see, understand and group content (I'm new to the site) Something like a tree-view or other standard Site Map visualizations would be great. I am yet unable to find a tool that does this (I've found plenty of things to spider the site and create an xml file, nothing to visualize it)
Thanks!
The software Gephi and one of its plugins provides exactly the function that you need.
For visualization you can check D3.js
For example Force-Directed Graph
Visualize website structure you can with Site Visualizer software.
Download and install it, then create new project and click Start toolbutton. After the site will be crawled, open Visual Sitemap tab and click Draw button. Visual map of the site will be created as a set of pages (rectangles) and links (arrows). Click on a rectangle in order to highlight all outbound links of the page. You can also save this visualization to an image file: png, jpg, bmp, etc.:
