In my windows 10 the orca2.db which is basically a small backup (cache) of the messenger in our system is not appearing (after i log in with another account) also the fbsyncstore.db is appearing empty but it should not do this.
I have tried to reinstall the messenger application and still facing the same problem.
Its completely abstract question didn't make any sense for what purpose you are using it and what you want to achieve ....

I am using UI Automation library - TestStack.White to automate a Windows Application, where I utilize Inspect.exe to get the UI Elements from the WinForms. I have had no issues with the Inspect.exe so far except currently I am stuck with an issue in my development machine where the tool started recognizing the "Buttons" as "Pane" and the behavior is same across Visual UIA Verify, TestStack(White). Eventually all the tests are getting failed since it couldn't identify the Buttons (returns Null).
Here's what it looks like now,

Here's what it used to look and it looks in a Fresh VM,

Can someone please through some light regarding this behavior or point out what would have gone wrong here ?
Thanks in Advance !
Hmm... It looks like a bug in UIAutomationCore.dll or a target application issue. I think you can't do something with that on client side. But some workarounds are possible. It's still recognized as a class name with BUTTON inside. So it's possible to do some part of your automation with a tool that can support both UI Automation (for complicated controls like WinForms list views etc) and Win32 API (like here, when it has NativeWindowHandle and adequate ClassName).
If you can consider changing the automation tool, one of the options is pywinauto. It can use Win32 API or UI Automation under the hood by your choice. The high level API is almost the same. So you can easily switch between 2 backends for different actions (having 2 different Application objects connected to one target app instance). Getting Started Guide will bring you initial guidance for the core concept.
Since there are no answers yet, I'm going to rewrite this question in hopes of an answer (I don't mind discussion, but I know SO is about Q&A). It appears security checks/prompts make it unfeasible to use Flash Player. With this in mind, the question still stands, but please answer based on experience using AIR.
I have a Winforms app written in C# that I need to add VOIP to. I really like how well the Flash Player VOIP solution works, the AEC (echo cancel) is awesome. I know they use Speex, but the implementation is still a lot of work even using Speex, so I'd like to use Adobe's solution directly in my app.
Has anyone done this? What issues will I have? A few I can think of:
IPC between AIR and Winforms app. I assume this is easy and several options, including sockets/network, file i/o, maybe others.
Based on this
Content running in the AIR application sandbox does not need the
permission of the user to access the microphone
I don't think security warnings will be an issue? I'm not sure what a sandbox is yet, but as long as my AIR app can run in this and still talk with my winforms app, then shouldn't be an issue.
I assume the voice capture including enhancements (AEC, NS, Speex, etc) are supported in AIR?
Are there any samples I can run that use voice capture in AIR?
I really need some help with this as I have been trying to fix this for months and I can't figure it out.
I run an online chess site written in Silverlight 3.0
The architecture is Silverlight Client connecting to a WCF service that reads and writes data to a SQL Server database. It is hosted on Godaddy,
Once every so often I get the following error:
Could not load file or assembly ‘System.Web.Silverlight’ or one of its dependencies.
The system cannot find the path specified.
If I leave it alone it will fix itself after a few hours, however usually I just make a new publish of my application and it goes away. Also all the pages in the solution get this message not just the Silverlight application. So I have an aspx page with top ranks that does not use Silverlight but is in the same solution it also gets the same error. Its almost like the whole site dies.
This does not seem like a huge issue but it makes going on vacation hard since my site can go down at any time I am away. Also this seems to happen the most when I am sleeping so I often don't get to fixing it until I have already lost hours of potential logins.
This sounds like a ASP.NET problem. I suspect you are using ASP.NET with the Silverlight 2.0 ASP.NET server control. Ditch it and code the Object tag yourself, that way you no longer need that special assembly in your web site.
I received an answer on the Silverlight.net forums, it is a cobination of two items:
Like Anthony Suggested use an Object Tag to embed your Silverlight control.
Remove all refferences of System.Web.Silverlight from all your projects and never use it again.
Is it possible for a Symbian S60 application to automatically add itself to one of the softkeys. The best would be if it could be done at installation time but if there is some API that can be used to add a shortcut the first time the application runs that would also be ok in our case.
Does Symbian has some best practices around this. I can guess that some users may be upset if some application overwrites his settings if he/she has configured the softkey shortcuts to refer some other application,
I believe this is what you are looking for. I will not comment on Symbian best practices about that, but would like to say that were an application to override one of my defined shortcuts, I would be annoyed. If it is absolutely necessary, I for one would display a prompt during installation and request whether the user knowing that the application once installed will override one shortcut softkey would want to continue with the installation or not. In fact, when and if you choose to get your application Symbian signed, you may or may not be required to put such a confirmation box during installation.
Since the launch of Silverlight 2 I was expecting a lot of full blown Silverlight applications popping up but still there seem to be little evidence of this. Does anybody know of such applications out there in the wild. And also what would be the obvious applications you would develop in Silverlight. I would say mail clients are bad examples as they just as well could be written as a web/ajax app. As Silverlight is far more powerful than web+ajax possible candidates should be impossible/akward implementing as a web/ajax app.
The ones that comes to my mind is
Photo and imaging editing apps
Reporting applications
Office applications, Word/Excel...

The point isn't that the app need to fill the whole screen just that it isn't just a small part of a webpage, or you could call it a full blown application running inside the webbrowser, only using the webbrowser as a host.
I think the Medical app that Microsoft itself developed shows pretty well what could be achieved with silverlight http://www.mscui.net/PatientJourneyDemonstrator/
As for image editing then as I understand its a bit difficult as Silverlight lacks a Bitmap API to be able to do per pixel image editing...
Edit:
I noticed you added Word/Excel to your question and there comes the problem that Silverlight doesn't have a rich text editor built in and there hasn't been real good examples of custom implementations. There is one http://www.codeplex.com/richtextedit but I haven't seen any applications that actually use it.
I'm working on one in the medical domain.
This started as an update of a Mac classic application but due to the amount of work involved, broadened to considering other toolkits. I convinced them to go for an initial WPF desktop port to be followed by a Silverlight version.
I don't know one so far, but I could imagine that it could be used in a kind like the fullscreen video playback on youtube.
How many fullscreen desktop apps are there? Most application don't need the entire screen. If you don't want to be distracted by menus and taskbars and so you go fullscreen. Another type of applications that can use fullscreen are games.
You are limited in fullscreen to certain key presses such as arrow keys, tab, enter, and space so this rules out some of those types of apps. They have done this for security reasons so an app can't hijack the screen and record the keypresses, but I wish they could come up with a scheme to sufficiently warn the user then allow it if they consent.
An application Microsoft seem to like to show case is the AOL mail client written entirely in silverlight.
Personally I follow the rule is if you would not write it in flash you would not write it in silverlight preferring AJAX in most cases. In the past most large flash application have failed such as the flash word processor (cant remember the name) while AJAX enabled applications such as google documents have taken off.
Finally I believe until moonlight (linux and mac support) has been released and more general users have silverlight downloaded developers will be reluctant to use it widely even for smaller apps and gadgets.
