Thank you very much for this! It’s simple and easy to understand.

And BTW: it also works if you provide geolocations instead of addresses. Tested it in your applications by typing geolocations in the two text-boxes.

Again, thanks.

Hi Adam,

I have checked and confirmed that the error you stated is there. It was a fault in the Little Watson which I wrote here. The problem exists as it is a async operation.

What happen here is you can force a wait to the message box and wait for a response from the user, making the operation synchronous instead.

IAsyncResult result = Guide.BeginShowMessageBox(
“Problem Report”, msg, MBOPTIONS, 0,
MessageBoxIcon.Alert, null, null);

// Wait for response.
result.AsyncWaitHandle.WaitOne();

int? choice = Guide.EndShowMessageBox(result);

I managed to make it work on my sample. Let me know if you require the source project for reference. FYI, my project is writeen for WP7.0

Thanks!

actually, I can’t get it to work unless I use a button that sets of the exception like you did… I must be missing something.

I was testing your xna version of little watson and discovered a scenario that causes the message box to dismiss itself. I actually was using the old version and didn’t see your throw new FormatException() example and so was using this:

int zero = 0;
int error = 1 / zero;

to get my exception. I just threw it in somewhere in my game, which was the draw method of a game screen between spriteBatch.Begin() and spriteBatch.End().

Maybe this just happens with little watson or maybe I found a bug. I don’t really know a whole lot about how it works, so I just thought I’d let you know to see what you had to say on the matter. If you need to, I can give you more details on where I was using my 1/0 exception.

Thanks
