Hi,

the dataSet.zoomTo() function does'nt work, gives me an error. dataSets.zoomTo() works very well, zooming to show the symbols of all dataSets of the active map. How to zoom to a single dataSet?

TIA

Hi,

investigating my code somewhat shows that dataSet.zoomTo() works very well too - if there are at least one pushpin in the dataset. But how to add pushpins to a certain dataset? Calling map.addPushpin() always adds the pushpin to a dataset called "My Pins" but I want to organize my added pushpins into different datasets.
Any hint?

TIA

Chris Werner

Hi Chris,

I _think_ you can only add pushpins to the first dataset. However there are always workarounds

Use the first dataset only as a temporary place to add your pushpins. After adding them you move them to the dataset of your choice. After the move they are automatically deleted from the primary dataset.

Thanks Wilfried,

this is a acceptable workaround.

Kind regards

maybe this can help u:
[C#]
//See whether there is an existing datasetwith the same name
object datasetName = "NorthWind Orders";
if(map.DataSets.Count > 0 && map.DataSets.get_Item(ref datasetName) != null)
//If so, delete it
map.DataSets.get_Item(ref datasetName).Delete( );
//Now create a new dataset
MapPoint.DataSet dataset = map.DataSets.AddPushpinSet("whateverName");
//Find location
MapPoint.Location location = null;
try
{
//Get the location
location = XXX;// put ur location anyway yo wish(lon/lat or // address)
//Create a pushpin
if(location != null)
{
MapPoint.Pushpin pushpin =
map.AddPushpin(location, companyname);
//Assign the contact name
pushpin.Note = "Contact : " + customername;
//Move to the pushpin dataset
pushpin.MoveTo(dataset);
}
}
catch
{
//Do some logging
}
i hope this can be a hint to the solution
