How to use JBuddy SDK to create a simple yahoo messenger client? - c#

I tried to find a free .NET API which I could use for making a messenger client and after searching I found it can be done using JBuddy SDK.
Instant Messaging SDK : The JBuddy SDK
From what the site says, they made a wrapper for .NET of their Java API for yahoo messenger called JBuddy.dll
I downloaded the JBuddy Developer Tools and got a JBuddy.jar instead of a *.dll as expected.
How can i obtain JBuddy.dll and use it to make a very simple yahoo messenger client?
Thanks for replies!

From what I gathered from their help files. You execute the .jar file. Install the dev tools and you can select .NET tools in the installer list. More information can be found here Getting Started PDF
Edit:
After installing it myself I found the Jbuddy.dll file in 'Drive letter:\JBuddy\JBuddySDK\lib'
and samples in C# can be found in 'JBuddy\JBuddySDK\demos\C#'. Hope it helped!

I clicked on the download link and got this file: JBuddyDeveloperTools-6.3.110808.jar.
I double clicked on this and it installed the developer tools, complete with the dll.

How do download mp3 from youtube to android using Xamarin.Forms/C#?

Trying to create a software like how it is stated in the title for fun and learning, and I made a console app, where I download video and convert it to mp3, but I can't do it with Xamarin, as MediaToolkit is not compatible with Xamarin...
Also on the side, I'm running into access errors.
Xamarin is targetting .NET standard, and not .NET framework, so most of the libraries you are using will not be compatible with your app
Since i'm currently working on the exact same thing as you, here are a few advices :
There is no package that will download your youtube wideo/audio from Xamarin, I never found any of them targetting .NET standard
If you really want to download the video from your app itself, I recommend using React Native instead of Xamarin, a lot of NPM packages can download youtube videos from your app, like YT-DL
If you really want to use Xamarin, you will need to make an external server and access it through the download manager of your app, or a custom web request. You can use the same package I mentioned before if you're using node.js
You can see my experimental app working here: LocalTube

How to add microsoft references for Azure Function use

I am trying to add our first Azure Function App, which will read from a queue and update an Azure Search Index. I wrote everything in a C# dialog app to make sure the data would parse and upload properly.
Apparently when you are running in Azure the following line of code is too much to ask for:
using Microsoft.Azure.Search;
Azure has no idea what that library is, and now I have to stop using the Portal and download Visual Studio 2017 and follow a long list of steps to put this Microsoft supplied reference into my Azure bin folder for Azure Functions?
Really Microsoft? I just need access to the Search objects and I am done, but the little documentation I can find says I need to spend a few days installing software and setting up FTP somewhere if I want to get there.
Is there a more direct path?
If you develop function through the portal then use NuGet package. The package is called Microsoft.Azure.Search
In short, you have to create a project.json file with the required NuGet package references.
Here is a good explanation and here you can find Microsoft documentation.

Connecting to QuickBooks desktop

I'm trying to connect to QuickBooks Accountant 2011 using the usual QBFC classes (C#).
QBSessionManager sessionManager = new QBSessionManager();
sessionManager.OpenConnection("", "Application");
A I know, from Intuit samples the code above should connect to the opened instance of aQuickBooks application.
The error that I'm getting is:
Retrieving the COM class factory for component with CLSID {3C801F08-CDC5-4129-AAE8-CCC4F116B5BE} failed due to the following error: 80040154.
Yes, I've build the project using x86 as the target, but I guess I'm missing something. Do I need to install the QuickBooks SDK on the client computer? I'm using QB SDK 10, do I need to use QB SDK 11?
Please guide me in the right direction.
PS: I did another application that uses QBOE, which is working OK, but this time I'm stuck on trying things that don't make sense.
I found the issue. Seems like the client computer, that will be using the application needs to have installed the QuickBooks SDK. Should of tried that earlier :)
In the SDK, you get some installers for the redistributable binaries that resides at
C:\Program Files (x86)\Intuit\IDN\QBSDK11.0\tools\installers
According to the QB site, you can't do the redistribution any other way.

Accessing Microsoft Exchange Server Web Services (EWS) API in an iOS application

With the introduction of EWS Managed API (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd633710(EXCHG.80).aspx), the task of talking to an Exchange Server was greatly simplified.
Is there a way to use this API in an app targeted for an iOS device? Has anyone tried the MonoTouch (http://monotouch.net/) approach? Is it technically possible to write a cross-platform .Net application that can access the Exchange Server 2007/2010 using tools like MonoTouch and MonoDroid?
If not, what would be the API of choice (with regard to Exchange Server 2007/2010) for an iOS app?
Thank you! I greatly appreciate any help or insight you can provide!
Since they do not publish the source code to the library, it is unlikely that it will run on MonoTouch out of the box. It depends at least on DirectoryServices that is not present on MonoTouch (but is present on standard Mono).
You could try disassembling with ildasm, changing the assembly dependencies from 3.5.0.0 to 2.1.0.0 and re-assembling the libraries to try it out and hope that the DirectoryServices code is not used if you are careful.
My suggestion is that you lobby Microsoft to open source the library, as that would allow it to run not only on .NET 3.5.0.0, but it would allow it to run on other environments like Silverlight, MonoTouch and Monodroid.
This one works on Monotouch: Exchange Web Services .NET
Even source code is available to recompile.

How to create Projects/Tasks for Project Server 2003 via C#?

I need to be able to create basic MS Project items (tasks, projects, resources, etc.) programmatically from my app to my Project Server 2003 install, and haven't found any good examples. Can anyone point me to some good references or have some sample code of connecting to the server and creating these items?
Developing against Project Server 2003 isn't the friendliest experience around, but I have worked a little bit with the PDS (Project Data Services) which is SOAP based
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa204408(office.11).aspx
It contains .NET samples there
As far as I know, the only programatic access to PS 2003 is through PWS.
I don't know if it would work, but you could try writing a managed extension for Microsoft Project 2003 (The client application) .There is a managed API for MS Project 2003, and you might be able to leverage that to communicate with the server, get a project and update it all in code.
Good luck!
