I have downloaded the trial version of Desktop and attempting to run the samples VS2010 app. The 'DisplayASimpleMap' doesn't work, giving me a red X after a long pause.
By adding
worldMapKitDesktopOverlay.DrawingExceptionMode = DrawingExceptionMode.ThrowException;
to the DisplayMap_Load method, I'm able to see the underlying problem:
A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond 184.73.231.88:80
I don't believe this is a firewall problem since it's trying to access port 80, but can anyone let me know why I might be seeing this error?
Thanks,
J.
