Google Earth Map Plugin not works in desktop application - google-earth-plugin

I developed a web page, which displays a google earth map and hosted in an iis server. Now, I want to invoke that page in a browser control through a vb.net desktop application.
When i run the application, the browser control shows 'Your browser does not support the Google Earth Plugin'. But, at the same time, the web page is getting displayed in the chrome browser without any error in the client systems. Also, the desktop application works properly in the server system.
Kindly suggest what could be the reason for the plugin not works in desktop application.
Windows XP & 7
Google Chrome Version 34.0.1847.137 m
Thanks

It could be that the webbrowser control is using the 64bit version of Internet Explorer, hence the GEPlugin wont work.
To fix this simply compile your vb.net desktop application to target 'x86' rather than 'anyCpu'.

Alternative solution for ActiveX with Chrome

I have a .NET web app that is served to our end users via Citrix using IE11. The web app uses an ActiveX control in the browser to get access to the Citrix client details, ie, it's environment variables.
This allows the browser to automatically identity the terminal that the web app is running from and adapt its behaviour to suit that particular terminal.
For various reasons, we need to remove IE11 and switch to Chrome for our browser, which lacks ActiveX.
I'm not an expert with Citrix and I am open to alternative modern solutions that avoids ActiveX and lets the Chrome browser access the Citrix client details.

TTS not working on IIS Server

I m using VS2010. I wrote code that speaks by taking input from text box when I click on button.but the button works fine when I run it on system but not work on IIS. TTS engine is not working on IIS server and I'm not getting any voice.
At a guess, your TTS code is running in the code-behind. That code runs on the server, not the client.
It appears to work when you run the site from Visual Studio, but that's only because the server and the client are the same machine in that specific scenario.
When you deploy it to a real server, the code will either fail, or it will make the server speak. Whilst that might be a good trick to scare your IT staff, the user isn't going to hear it.
There is an unofficial client-side speech API, but browser support is extremely limited. Unless all of your users are using Chrome, Safari or Opera, then it's not going to work.

ITHit webdav EditDoc js not working in ios browsers

We have used ITHit ajax library to open documents from browser using EditDocument javascript method. (ITHit.WebDAV.Client.DocManager.EditDocument)
All works fine in desktop browsers.(Safari/Chrome/IE/Firefox)
But when we try from IPhone/IPad browsers, the javascript method is invoked but the document opening is not triggered.
Even though the IT Hit WebDAV Ajax Library runs both in mobile and desktop web browsers, it supports document editing in desktop web browsers only.
It is using components installed by Microsoft Office (in case of MS office docs and if MS Office is found) or Java applet in all other cases to mount a drive and than to open a document. Unfortunately iOS, Android and Win Phone does not provide drive mounting capabilities.
Many mobile applications has built-in WebDAV support. For example here you can find how to open documents in iWork on iOS.

asp.net webforms website stopped working in IE10 but works in chrome

website developed in asp.net using windows authentication does not work in IE10 anymore. There was a power shutdown in data center it was hosted. The website works in chrome and it asks for credentials first time. When I log on to server where website is hosted it works properly in IE8.
I get error: This page can't be displayed
Make sure the web address http://monitormanager.xxxx.com is correct.
Do you have the same issue on IE11? Does it work fine with IE9? Older versions of .NET used a single-digit regular expression to identify IE versions and may therefore be identifying your browser as IE1. You can download the hotfix for .NET 4 from http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2600088.
