Interesting... Not sure what's going on there.
Considering some people will get things like "Reserved" a backup method will be needed.

@morpheus_xx is there an event that triggers only on the first initialisation of the weather plugin? I don't want to keep setting the default location if people clear the list themselves.

Sorry, I was wrong about exception type (it's about xaml, not xml ), here is the full output:

No there is no "first run" indicator: the models load the location from settings, when it has not been filled before the list is empty. If it is really required to do only a first-run setup, we might add a bool field to WeatherSettings ("FirstRun") to avoid unwanted creation of locations (if list is empty again).
In any case the configuration of location should get a new button "suggest location", to invoke the new detection on demand.

I was just wondering if there was a nice way.

Xaml makes more sense mind you there isn't much:

<Window x:Class="LocationFinder.MainWindow"
 
		xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
 
		xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
 
		Title="Location Finder" Height="350" Width="525">
 
	<Grid>
 
		<TextBlock Name="Console" Text="" HorizontalAlignment="Center" VerticalAlignment="Center" />
 
	</Grid>
 
</Window>

Alwell.

Well I spent a little time and implemented the detection method into the weather plugin and I updated the testing tool to hopefully get around the "Reserved" issue (I move onto the next node).

Attached is an updated testing tool (based on the code I used in MP2) so if people could give it a shot and give some feedback.

Oh and to anyone who's familiar with MP2 I used HttpServer.Helpers.XmlHelper to deserialize the XML from freegeoip by adding a reference to HttpServer. I'm not sure if that's the preferred way to do it or just implement my own deserializer, thoughts?

^ doesn't work, I think you are missing the .dll file?

 

[Valk]

I took out the reference to the json lib.

Shouldn't need anything else (checks).[DOUBLEPOST=1363492620][/DOUBLEPOST]Did you download the new version @kiwijunglist it says no views?

 

[kiwijunglist]

^ yup, failed to find location (old version worked).

 

[Valk]

Ok now you have me seriously confused. If the old version worked then this should have worked also.
