No overload for method 'ImageAnnotatorClient.Create' takes 1 arguments

I am using Google.Cloud.Vision.V1, Version=2.0.0.0 and the following below code from Google Vision API specify JSON file
using Google.Apis.Auth.OAuth2;
using Google.Cloud.Vision.V1;
using Grpc.Auth;
using Grpc.Core;
var credential = GoogleCredential.FromFile("VisionProject.json");
var channel = new Grpc.Core.Channel(ImageAnnotatorClient.DefaultEndpoint.ToString(), credential.ToChannelCredentials());
var client = ImageAnnotatorClient.Create(channel);
But its shows me this error No overload for method 'ImageAnnotatorClient.Create' takes 1 arguments.
I have found similar code in documentation https://googleapis.github.io/google-cloud-dotnet/docs/Google.Cloud.Vision.V1P2Beta1/api/Google.Cloud.Vision.V1P2Beta1.ImageAnnotatorClient.html
But for some reason, it's not working( unable to see the overload)

It seems that you are using newer version of API. Docs state that now authentication is set up(when needed) via environment variable:
Otherwise, the simplest way of authenticating your API calls is to download a service account JSON file then set the GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS environment variable to refer to it. The credentials will automatically be used to authenticate. See the Getting Started With Authentication guide for more details.
So you can do something like this:
Environment.SetEnvironmentVariable("GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS", "PathTo_VisionProject.json");
var client = ImageAnnotatorClient.Create();
Or set this environment variable some other way.

While setting the environment variable is certainly a simple way of specifying which service account file to use, it's not the only one. You can use the builder to specify the path very easily:
var client = new ImageAnnotatorClientBuilder
{
CredentialsPath = "VisionProject.json"
}.Build();

Another solution if you do not have access to the JSON file directly and you want to stay close to what you previously did with the GoogleCredential and Channel creation is something like:
var credential = GoogleCredential.FromFile("VisionProject.json");
// or if you have access to the content only
// var credential = GoogleCredential.FromJson(json);
var client = await new ImageAnnotatorClientBuilder
{
Endpoint = ImageAnnotatorClient.DefaultEndpoint,
ChannelCredentials = credential.ToChannelCredentials()
}.BuildAsync();

Bing Speech API and bots Frameworks

I am trying to use Bing's speech API within the Bot Framework (I am familiarizing myself with both of these technologies). Specifically, I am trying to use the DataClientWithIntent that it supports. I was able to look at this example in GitHub, but unfortunately this is seems to be using DataClient only and I am not able to identify where this is specified. The API is being called in the following manner:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var token = Authentication.Instance.GetAccessToken();
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("Authorization", "Bearer " + token.access_token);
using (var binaryContent = new ByteArrayContent(StreamToBytes(audiostream)))
{
binaryContent.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("content-type", "audio/wav; codec=\"audio/pcm\"; samplerate=16000");
var response = await client.PostAsync(requestUri, binaryContent);
var responseString = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
dynamic data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(responseString);
return data.header.name;
}
As you can see a stream is passed in, but unfortunately this only writes back what the user wrote.
I have already developed a test bot that uses a Luis application for what I want, but I want to add the ability for the user to either talk to it or type and achieve the same results. I did find this other example, but this is implementing it directly through the Skype framework, which is something I am not interested in at the moment.
Any ideas, documentation, or clarification would be appreciated.

Is it possible to create firebase user using RestSharp?

I just knew about the RestSharp and started exploring it.
I could find how to "Log-in" using a user already created doing this:
var client = new RestClient("http://example.com");
client.Authenticator = new SimpleAuthenticator("username", "foo", "password", "bar");
var request = new RestRequest("resource", Method.GET);
client.Execute(request);
But is there a way of actually creating a user in the firebase using the Restshart? Equivilant to this using the Firebase object in JAVA
var ref = new Firebase("https://<YOUR-FIREBASE-APP>.firebaseio.com");
ref.createUser({email:"bobtony#firebase.com",password:"correcthorsebatterystaple"});
I know it is possible to create a node for emails/passwords and manage them manually, but I would like to use the Firebase users auths.

Since the library is called RestSharp, it likely builds on top of the Firebase Legacy REST API. That API does not have functionality to create users.

Facebook Retrive Data using Graph API using c#

i have created desktop Facebook application using c# .net. i want to retrieve users message,post and chat history. which is convenient way to retrieve users all information.i have started with Facebook Graph API but i am not getting any example.
can any one help me ?

A bit late to the party but anyway:
Add a reference to System.Net.Http and Newtonsoft.Json
string userToken = "theusertokentogiveyoumagicalpowers";
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://graph.facebook.com");
HttpResponseMessage response = client.GetAsync($"me?fields=name,email&access_token={userToken}").Result;
response.EnsureSuccessStatusCode();
string result = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
var jsonRes = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<dynamic>(result);
var email = jsonRes["email"].ToString();
}

Go to developer.facebook.com -> Tools & Support -> Select Graph API Explorer
Here U get FQL Query, Access Token
Then write code in C#.....
var client = new FacebookClient();
client.AccessToken = Your Access Token;
//show user's profile picture
dynamic me = client.Get("me?fields=picture");
pictureBoxProfile.Load(me.picture.data.url);
//show user's birthday
me = client.Get("me/?fields=birthday");
labelBirthday.Text = Convert.ToString(me.birthday);

I hope this will help you.!!!

you can check the Graph explorer tool on Developer.facebook.com , go to Tools and select graph explorer, its a nice tool which gives you exact idea about what you can fetch by sending "GET" and "POST" method on FB Graph APis

From what i see the app now only uses webhooks to post data to a data endpoint (in your app) at which point you can parse and use this. (FQL is deprecated). This is used for things like messaging.
A get request can be send to the API to get info - like the amt. of likes on your page.
The docs of FB explain the string you have to send pretty nicely. Sending requests can be done with the webclient, or your own webrequests.
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bay1b5dh(v=vs.110).aspx
Then once you have a string of the JSON formatted page you can parse this using JSON.NET library. It's available as a NUGEt package.

Copy a Google Docs Spreadsheet using Google .NET API

I'm wanting to copy an already existing Google Docs Spreadsheet to a new Google Docs spreadsheet. I dont think the v2.0 .NET API can handle it natively (or if so I can't find the class/method), however It looks like the v3.0 protocol can but I'm not sure how to implement this in the current framework or even if it is possible with the current .net api. eg. ~DocumentsFeed.copy() (pseudo code).
Exporting to a temp excel file then uploading with a new name is not possible either as some of the complex formulas get messed up in the conversion process.
I am a bit of a .NET noob so any info would be greatly appreciated eg. How would I go about doing this in .NET if I could only use the v3 protocol (ajax etc) and not the .NET API.
Thanks
EDIT: (final class thanks to #langsamu for his help!)
using System;
using Google.GData.Documents;
using Google.GData.Client;
using Google.GData.Extensions;
public class GoogleDocument
{
private DocumentsService ds;
private String username;
private String password;
public GoogleDocument(String username, String password)
{
this.ds = new DocumentsService("doc service name");
this.username = username;
this.password = password;
this.ds.setUserCredentials(username, password);
this.ds.QueryClientLoginToken();
}
public void copyDocument(String oldFileName, String newFileName)
{
SpreadsheetQuery query = new Google.GData.Documents.SpreadsheetQuery();
query.Title = oldFileName;
query.TitleExact = true;
DocumentsFeed feed = this.ds.Query(query);
AtomEntry entry = feed.Entries[0];
entry.Title.Text = newFileName;
var feedUri = new Uri(DocumentsListQuery.documentsBaseUri);
this.ds.Insert(feedUri, entry);
}
}

Google.GData.Documents.DocumentsService service = new Google.GData.Documents.DocumentsService("YOUR_APPLICATIONS_NAME");
service.setUserCredentials("YOUR_USERNAME", "YOUR_PASSWORD");
Google.GData.Documents.SpreadsheetQuery query = new Google.GData.Documents.SpreadsheetQuery();
query.Title = "YOUR_SPREADSHEETS_TITLE";
query.TitleExact = true;
Google.GData.Documents.DocumentsFeed feed = service.Query(query);
Google.GData.Client.AtomEntry entry = feed.Entries[0];
var feedUri = new Uri(Google.GData.Documents.DocumentsListQuery.documentsBaseUri);
service.Insert(feedUri, entry);
This solution is basically about retrieving an existing spreadsheet (service.Query) using the Document List API and re-inserting it (service.Insert).
Make sure you replace the ALL CAPS application name, username, password and spreadsheet title.
Add a reference to Google.GData.Documents.
This is using .NET 4 (should work with lower versions as well) and Google Documents List Data API v2.0 (DLL says version is 1.6.0.0: google-gdata), which seems to use version 3.0 of the protocol.

It is a bit unclear if you are developing a web application or a desktop application, so I'll try and cover both (essentially they are very much alike - because...).
If you are developing a web application you won't be able to make a 100% AJAX solution. You will only be able to request URL's on the same domain. To do this you will need to either do the communication server side only, or do it server side and proxy it to your web app through AJAX.
If you are developing a desktop application you'll have to do this stuff aswell. Except the AJAX part.
An example app would be fairly easy - 2-3 hours work to whip up considering the documentation given. With just a little knowledge of HTTP and POST request forming you should be able to make it work.
