VS 2005 CS0030: Cannot convert type Login

If you are getting an error like the one below then ASP.NET then checkout http://www.groupsrv.com/dotnet/about147910.html

Google Maps - IE 8 - Click Position

The position (point) returned by the click event on Google Maps in Internet Explorer 8 is incorrect - at least in some configurations.

The recommendations I have found so far are to remove the DOCTYPE tag or to add in the compatibility meta tag for IE, to be honest I'm not sure which is worse!!

Discussed here:
http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Maps-API/browse_thread/thread/9946215e23a3bdf2

Microsoft explanation of the new compatibility meta tag:

Open a form in C# without focus

From .NET 2.0 onwards, to show a new form without the form taking focus:

protected override bool ShowWithoutActivation
{
get
{
return true;
}
}
Override this property in your form code and it should do the trick for you.
