SL Error From Source of MeasureTool

AdamDunlap — Wed, 02 Apr 2014 17:01:34 GMT

Hi all,

I just downloaded the available source code for the MeasureTool in an effort to change a few settings (give the decimal degrees more places past the decimal point for the point tool)...and when I try to compile (Using VS 2010 with the prerequisites, I get the following:
Exception was thrown on "Setter": Catastrophic failure (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8000FFFF (E_UNEXPECTED))

Any ideas? Adam

I did notice some broken StaticResources that either were misplaced or linked incorrectly. Regardless, I substituted the old StaticResources with valid color values..yet when the compile took place and the map rendered..the tool would never initialize.

Any Ideas?

I finally got the error to go away by editing a registry setting in my VS2010 tools..jezz, what a nightmare, MSFT!
Time to upgrade to 2013.

I have compiled the MeasureTool.xap for those who just want to see 6 places past the decimal point for the Lat/Long. Just change the .zip to .xap
