How can i adjust the preferred arrival and departure time of a waypoint??? I'm working with C#.

I tried several options:

way = ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.Add(pin,name);
way.PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray[i];

Doesn't work, it says "Access denied"

ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints[i].PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray[i];

Also doesnt work now it says:

"Property, indexer, or event 'this' is not supported by the language; try directly calling accessor method 'MapPoint.Waypoints.get_Item(ref object)"

ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.get_Item(This expects an object but wath object????? )

Can anyone help?

what is "preferredarrivalarray[i]" declared as?

Its looking for a date.

This is from the help file:

Code:

objRoute.Waypoints.Item(2).PreferredArrival = TimeValue("1:00:00 PM")

It are both DateTimes, the code provided by MSDN doesn't work. I also dont have the .Item option after Waypoints in C#

I was able to get the sample in the helpfile to work but I think you problem might be getting a reference to the waypoint item so I made another example that may give you something else to try. Hope it helps and sorry I can give an example in c#.

Code:

Dim objmap As MapPointCtl.Map
Set objmap = MappointControl1.ActiveMap
Dim objroute As MapPointCtl.Route
Set objroute = objmap.ActiveRoute
Dim iWaypoint As MapPointCtl.Waypoint
 
'Add two waypoints to the map
objroute.Waypoints.Add objmap.FindResults("Seattle, WA").Item(1)
objroute.Waypoints.Add objmap.FindResults("Spokane, WA").Item(1)
 
 For Each iWaypoint In objroute.Waypoints
 If InStr(1, iWaypoint.Name, "Spokane", vbTextCompare) Then
 iWaypoint.PreferredArrival = TimeValue("1:00:00 PM")
 Exit For
 End If
 Next
 'Lets see if it worked
  objroute.Calculate

I have the following:

for(int i = 0;i < locationarray.Length;i++)
{
pin = ActiveMap.FindPushpin(locationarray[i].Name);
ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.Add(pushpin,locati onarray[i].Name);
}

foreach(MapPoint.Waypoint way in ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints)
{
ay.PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray[teller];
way.PreferredDeparture = preferreddeparturearray[teller];
teller++;
}

If I do it this way I always get "Access Denied" while adjustting DateTime settings. I'm currently working with the .Net Framework 1.1 maybe it has something to do with this?

thx

In this line of code why is the word way come after MapPoint.Waypoint? Maybe its just a typo?

Code:

foreach(MapPoint.Waypoint way in ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints)

Anyway I'm not sure what else to try. If you want to send me the C#
.sln I can try to come up with something?

Code:

foreach(MapPoint.Waypoint way in ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints)

You have multiple waypoint object in de activeroute.waypoints so I do a for each structure to get those waypoint objects. It works like this (I get the individual waypoint objects) but I cant adjust anything (access denied message)

Sorry, didn't see you meant the word way, ist a variable you use within the foreach structure.

Sorry, didn't see you meant the word way, ist a variable you use within the foreach structure.

Code:

public void CalculateOptimalRoute(Location[] locationarray,System.DateTime[] preferredarrivalarray, System.DateTime[] preferreddeparturearray,bool optimize)
		{
			MapPoint.Pushpin pin;
			//MapPoint.Waypoint way;
			//IEnumerator list; 
			int teller = 0;
  
			for&#40;int i = 0;i < locationarray.Length;i++&#41;
			&#123;
				pin = ActiveMap.FindPushpin&#40;locationarray&#91;i&#93;.Name&#41;;
				if&#40;pin == null&#41;
				&#123;
				pin = ActiveMap.AddPushpin&#40;ActiveMap.GetLocation&#40;locationarray&#91;i&#93;.Latitude,locationarray&#91;i&#93;.Longitude,1&#41;,"Temppush " + locationarray&#91;i&#93;.Name&#41;;
				MPPushpins.Add&#40;pin&#41;;  
				&#125;
				ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.Add&#40;pin,locationarray&#91;i&#93;.Name&#41;;
				//list = ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.GetEnumerator&#40;&#41;;
				//list.MoveNext&#40;&#41;; 
				//&#40;&#40;MapPoint.Waypoint&#41;&#40;list.Current&#41;&#41;.PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray&#91;i&#93;;  

				//ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.; // Item&#91;i&#93;.PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray&#91;i&#93;;    
			&#125;

			foreach&#40;MapPoint.Waypoints way in ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints&#41;
			&#123;
				way.PreferredArrival = preferredarrivalarray&#91;teller&#93;;	
				way.PreferredDeparture = preferreddeparturearray&#91;teller&#93;;
				teller++;
			&#125;
			if&#40;optimize&#41;
			&#123;
				ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Waypoints.Optimize&#40;&#41;;
			&#125;
			ActiveMap.ActiveRoute.Calculate&#40;&#41;;

This is the piece of code (never mind the things that are in comment, it was to test somse things. The idea is that you get 3 arrays. The first are the waypoint locations, second array are preferred arrival times and the last departure times.

Owkee, next question:

Is there anyway to implement the Scribble function of mappoint? I want to let the user draw a polyline on the map and i cant figure out how to do it.

BTW

I'm from Belgium so there's a little time delay
