Is there a way to force Zxing library to scan text only? I am looking for the offline (non-cloud) solution to scan text in windows phone.
OR
The integrated Bing vision successfully scans text from the image. Is there a way to call the same task in our application (something like Microsoft.Phone.Tasks)?
If you're looking for OCR solutions, you could use this so post.
Regarding bing vision - there's no support for third-party developers yet. Though there's a project called Hawaii (yes, it's cloud-based) that's probably going to be the gateway for bing vision ocr.
As far as i know, there's no native .NET OCR engines. In theory, you could use any OCR SDK that worked for Win CE (as long as WP7 is based on it), but in practice - i haven't seen any working solution yet and all OCR applications for WP7 that i've seen were based on cloud services. I can point you to some ready to go cloud solutions if you'd change your mind about web API.

I have a question regarding google app engine.
Let us say you are working on a project and you want to have 5 developers on it.
How will the collaboration be carried out? SVN, CVS - anything of that sort for the google app engine?
The collaboration is for a private project.
After adding them to your application in the Permission Pane of the admin console, developers will be able to deploy new application version using appcfg.py command.
People usually create multiple application version for each developer, or multiple applications if they want to isolate development data from production.
Each application version is addressable through: versionname.appid.appspot.com
You can use whatever Version Control System you want, and host it where ever you want. Google App Engine doesn't restrict you to using any specific ones, nor have one integrated (why would it?).
I personally use Git (and eventually GitHub) for my App Engine project, but I could have used any other- it's entirely what you think your team would work best with.

In my work we recently started to build iphone (and a little bit of android) apps.
and now we are searching for a software that we could make an automated tests for our apps.
It could be a virtual emulator or a physical device, it doesn't matter.
the only condition is that we can't use a jailbroken devices.
Can someone help me to find some softwares so we could make automation on iphone (and android if possible)?
If there are emulators or plugins for QTP it will also be fine Because we are using QTP Regularly.
Thanks a lot,
Idan.
You can test mobile devices with QTP using Perfecto Mobile, I'm not sure how good a fix this will be for you since they provide the mobile devices as a service.

I'm a .NET/Flex web/windows developer about to make the plunge into mobile development. I was wondering what toolkit other mobile developers use to build their applications.
Is there any toolkit that works on all mobile devices, that provides a rich interface, preferably with touch capability? Ease of development would be a bonus.
What framework do you recommend? What are its advantages and limitations?
Your question is far more generalized and covers a broad view of mobile development. Mobile development can be of many types depending on many factors like:
Execution environments
Platform development environment
You can check the Wikipedia page for a generalized idea of what a mobile development can be and what types of developments can be done for what.

i am about to design feature for web app enabling live video trainings. Requirements are pretty much this: there are some VIP members (trainers), they are able to start new lesson (with nothing else but web browser and webcam), and non-vip members can watch it online (and the session should be recorded too for later on-demand watching..). The application is ASP.NET MVC 2.
I done some quick research, and as I see it, there are 2 platforms : adobe flash (media server + flash player on client side), and MS (windows media services + silverlight on client). I would rather go for MS solution (already got licences for windows server,etc.), but I am not sure if it is even possible - I have not found any examples of somebody doing this - I mean upstreaming video from webcam do server, encoding it with media encoder (this part is the question) and streaming it to clients... can you give me any clues about this please? or should I go for Flash platform for this ?
Thanx a lot !

I am developing a windows phone 7 app which will need some basic database functionality. I came across the following projects on codeplex. Has anyone tried any of these projects and can help me decide to choose one, please?

We use SQLite since you can design the database ahead of time using standard SQL commands. It works pretty well on the phone.
I've written a quick start guide here: http://wirebear.com/blog/2010/11/12/using-sqlite-in-your-wp7-app
UPDATE:
This was a valid solution pre-Mango but it is NOT what I would recommend now and it is not what we are doing. With Mango Microsoft has given new ways to use SQL CE with LINQ to SQL and is the better way to have a database in your app. A good guide to getting started can be found here: http://www.jeffblankenburg.com/2011/11/30/31-days-of-mango-day-30-local-database/
There also are other databases available for the phone (see Local Sql database support for Windows phone 7).
What's best for you will depend on your requirements:
Do you need anything in particular? transactions? relations or objects?
What's most important? reliability, performance, etc.?
