Is there anyway to insert the MS Pubcenter Ads into a WPF 4.0 C# application. If so, please show me step by step how.
The pubcenter does not support ads within anything other than WP7 or Win8 apps. Hopefully this will change to include standard desktop apps as we have a moderately successful game on WP7 that I would like to integrate ad support for and release on the desktop, but for now we'll need to look elsewhere for desktop ad revenue. I haven't found a solution yet either, unfortunately, so if anyone has a suggestion I'd like to hear it too.

My org is currently in Winforms and we are renegineering our complete system which has following parts
- It is a heavy businesslogic desktop application
- Should support part on web/multiple devices (handheld)
- Part of it to be exposed as enterprise solution.
To define the target system, platform and language for such a system (timeline are to create by mid of 2016)
1. Can I replace heavy Desktop application with MS Application?
2. Should I create such DS Application with .net 4.0 WPF? (I am currently on Winforms so to me moving from Winforms to WPF or HTML5 is same)
3. I would prefer to move to HTML5 for the reason that my web, devices and desktop applocations are taken care - but do not have a path for DSA + HTML5 with WinRT
Please advice. Any other solution/suggestion also is welcome.
It really depends on what direction your company wants to go.
If you want to go down the desktop only route, then yes, WPF should suit your requirements. I would suggest using the MVVM Design Pattern, with the Repository/Unit Of Work Pattern.
If you want to go towards the Desktop/Tablet/Mobile route, then you have the option of developing an Windows App, or a Website Application.
For a Windows App, you're looking at developing Microsoft Store Apps (I'd suggest a Universal App). If you want to do this, you might as well wait for Windows 10 to be released, as universal apps have grown up since 8.1.
That leaves Web Applications. There are a myriad of options to choose from here, most common of those would probably be ASP.NET, and things like AngularJS. Please note that I'm not saying that these technologies are the best, but they are just a couple of options. It's really up to you to research the frameworks and libraries that suit your requirements.
But like I said, it really depends on what your company wants their application to do, and what devices will be compatible.
I have developed one desktop application in WPF. Now I would like to have a web based application. I can use SilverLight since it is closely related to WPF, but my worry is I can't support mobile devices except windows phone.
My question is, What is the proper way to develop a web based application for my situation?, please note that I have already developed a WPF desktop application and I would like to continuously support desktop users too.
FYI, I did some research on this and I found this article ,which describes using WPF.Polymer, Is it a correct way?

Hope this is an alternative. Using KnockoutJS. This link too
Scenario: All of the users are on Windows 7 and we develop windows desktop apps, i.e. WinForms and WPF. I really enjoy the Win8 Store Apps UI/UX and would like to bring that into our WPF apps.
Questions:
I was wondering if anyone has attempted to do this type of effort, i.e. bring some of the themes/templates from the WinStore Apps into WPF?
Or are there any resources out there that can give some guidance, e.g. blogs, articles, code, etc?
MahApps and Elyseum open source projects are excellent resources.
I have an application which works fin in Wp7 and Win8. It was be developed using Silverlight. In this time I need to develop the same application for Xbox 360.
So, I found a little information that Microsoft promised SL on Xbox (for example in link
http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/05/silverlight-coming-to-xbox-bringing-wp7-games-along-with-it/)
but I can't find any information about HOW I can develop application for Xbox using Silverlight.
Could someone show me a right way?
Thanks.
Silverlight SDK for Xbox hasn't been released yet (and I have no hope of coming soon) :-(
Take a look at this website:
http://www.xbox.com/en-US/developers
especialy at the bottom near Registered Developer Program and/or Tools and Middleware.
You need to get registered/licence with Microsoft to make apps for the Xbox360.
Im not sure if they let any random company make a App for their Xbox, but you can try.
Is there any way I could draw screenshot design of Silverlight application using Visio?
Or any other tool I could use to draw screenshot of Silverlight application?
Thank you.
I'm not sure exactly what you're asking, but here are two answers:
If you're looking for an application to create a mock-up design of a Silverlight application, I'd recommend using Expression Blend 3 (version 3 or greater) with Sketch Flow. Sketch Flow allows you to create a real "sketch" of a user interface that can later be turned into a Silverlight application. It's great for application design purposes.
You can also use Powerpoint, Excel, Access or other Office applications to make rough sketches of application flow, but these usually appear really crude.
If you're looking to take screen shots of existing Silverlight applications, I'd recommend Jing (free), SnagIt ($), or the free Snipping Tool in Windows 7 or Vista.
The best mock-up design tool I have ever used (and still use almost every day) is Balsamiq Mockups.
