How to use Bing translation Service on windows phone 7.1, is there a specific way of doing it,
#lmaaa95 -- You don't need any DLLs to use Microsoft Translator on Windows Phone.
Microsoft provide APIs that can be called with HTTP or SOAP.
I've blogged on how to do it here:
http://www.netnavi.tv/2012/05/29/using-microsoft-translator-with-windows-phone-7/
There's also an article here on building WP7.x apps with it:

Yep, there are APIs that you can tap into :)

In my win-fourms application, I would like to do something like to use the account password similarly to how apple has the touch id API. I could not find any information on this. Here is an example I saw in the built in groove music app in windows 10:
Thank you!
When Microsoft built the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) they built in an authentication library that allows you to use user's Microsoft Accounts. There is no built in support for this in WinForms or WPF apps.
However, you can use the Microsoft OAuth endpoint to accomplish the same thing, it just won't look the same (requires a browser popup for starters). More information can be found here:

The code basically requires doing a bunch of REST calls and providing a listening socket for an asynchronous response.
I am learning development for Windows Universal Platform and I wanted to create a simple app capable of leveraging some Spotify data once the user logs in.
I can see from the documentation that there is an SDK for Android and iOS, and a library that is considered deprecated.
Do you guys know if there is any way for me to still communicate with the Spotify API using .NET/C# ?
Thanks a lot,
Florian
There doesn't seem to be a SDK from Spotify, but there are references to WebApi .Net Wrappers at the bottom of this official page:
Spotify Web API Wrapper on Codeplex
Spotify Web API Wrapper on GitHub
Are there any Google Speech Recognition API document filed for Window Phone ? I am currently doing my Final Year Project as a student and need implement Google Speech Recognition .
I saw app's like VoiceTranslator For Windows Phone which is powered by Google's Engines.
Hence , is there any document that I could refer to to implement Google Speech Recognition API in my window phone Application ?
Or Are there any other Speech Recognizer Service I can benefits from?
J.A.R.V.I.S. Java Speech API uses Google services for the synthesizer and recognizer. Internet connection is required for the service to function.
What you can do is to take the precompiled JAR (here) and include it in your C# application. You can check this SO post -- Use a .jar java library API in C#? for information on how to include the JAR in .NET program. One thing to note though, I believe this is not an official solution provided by Google.
You can utilize Google Speech Engine with http connection. It's a kind of hook.

I made it work for Android, but for Wp it is also feasible.
I am developing an application in which I need to display the ads. So now the problem is I cannot use ad-control that is provided by Microsoft. The client has said that he will provide different types of ads like banner,interstitial,gallery and expandable ads. Are there any policies that prohibit me to use my own controls to display the ads rather than using ad-control by Microsoft?
Yes, this is legal, but there are policies regarding WP7 advertising:
Here’s official text from the Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Marketplace guidelines:
2.7 If your application includes or displays advertising, the advertising must comply with the Microsoft Advertising Creative Acceptance Policy Guide.
Can I use the facebook API to make a windows desktop application? Like create a chat client to use to chat with facebook users??
yes, while I have not done it myself, there seem to be standalone apps developed for facebook like FaceoffIM... so I am assuming you can.
If I remember correctly, Telerik is maintaining something in Silverlight called fdek... which would again mean in principle it is possible.
There is also a Facebook C# SDK available on Codeplex which might be of use... under its project description it states "The Facebook C# SDK helps .Net developers build web, desktop, Silverlight, and Windows Phone 7 applications that integrate with Facebook."
Yes, you can develop desktop applications that interact with the Facebook API's.
You can use the C# SDK which is introduced in this official blog post https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/395
Basically, any desktop application just needs to send http web requests to the Facebook API's. The easiest would be to use the the Graph API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/)
Hope this helps.
