i need a "take picture" option in my website which is developed in MVC3 and C# where i can capture image from web cam on clients pc and want to store that image on my server in some specific folder.
You can achive that using flash and Camera code. I suggest you use http://www.kevinmusselman.com/2009/02/access-webcam-with-flash/

As you are already using the Microsoft stack and C# for everything you can use a small Silverlight application on the page to capture the current web-cam image.
e.g. You could make the whole Silverlight app just a single push button, if you wanted, to make it unobstrusive.
Take a look at this link "Capturing the Webcam in Silverlight 4"

I am using the Aspose PDF tools and have successfully got it to print the pdf which is great, but ideally I want to be able to add a wpf control to display this as well.
I would have assumed that the PdfViewer class would have something, but I can't tell.
So far I have needed to use a different control MoonPdfPanel which is annoying as I would have preferred 1 tool to do both jobs.
Does anyone know of a control I can use to hook into the aspose?
Thanks
We have developed an HTML5 PDF Editor application using Aspose.Pdf for .NET API which you can use in your application as a PDF Viewer as well. You can get the details and complete source code here. You can use the source code to edit the viewer as per your requirement.
P.S. I am working as social media developer at Aspose.
Well, if you are interesting in viewing the PDF file, you may convert the file to HTML and display it using an IFrame in your application. I have developed a sample application which performs different operations including viewing a PDF file in IFrame. Download it and try it at your end. Another option is that you can convert the PDF file to images and display in Imageviewer in your application (Code is available in the above application).
P.S. I am working as social media developer at Aspose.
I have an Silverlight application that uses ssl to communicate with the site-of-origin. The application loads a number of images from a separate server (running apache under port 81 without ssl). The images are regular png's. The images from the Apache machine are not loaded properly, i.e. the image control remains blank. When I post the same image on my app server (i.e. site-of-origin), and modify the link accordingly, the images are displayed properly. This link on MSDN says that images are media are excluded from access-restriction policies.
Would appreciate any suggestions.
I hope you are deploying your Silverlight application to a web server and not running it using the Visual Studio development server. I had a similar problem with images when I was using the built in development web server. You can find about my experience here.
It might help if you subscribe to ImageFailed event and post the stacktrace.
You are running into cross-scheme access restrictions in silverlight, see table at the bottom of http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc189008(v=vs.95).aspx
One possible solution is to load image using WebClient and call SetSource on image element. That is what we do in our app. In fact we wraped it into custom image control that hides all annoying details.
I'm registered to a site which uses a silverlight application that shows some personal information.
My goal is to be able to read some data from the silverlight application.
Is it possible?
I know that this could be done to a regular web page using curl.
but, what about silverlight application?
Does it store the information to a file or something like that?
Thanks
You can use White, a tool for automating windows applications, to get information out of a running Silverlight application. White is mainly used to perform functional testing of applications, but it should allow you to extract information from the application as well.
Look here for an example of White and Silverlight: http://www.codeplex.com/wikipage?ProjectName=white
I am using Silverlight 3 and I am trying to take a screenshot of esri map.
I was able to take a screenshot and save as a file for silverlight controls, but when I try to access Esri map image, I get "Pixel access not allowed" error. I heard this is because of different domain (I am trying to get map image on the client side, and map image is not accessible at server side in my silverlight application).
So I am trying to find a function from esri so that I can save the map image as a file.
does anybody know how to do this? or any other way around?
I am using a script from the Code Gallery for both printing and exporting map images.
The script requires a little bit of tweaking to get it to work (plus you need to dig a little bit into WCF and self-hosted services), but it has been working great for several months now. You can see it in action at our web site.
Is there a good way to get Facebook Connect onto a Silverlight page? All I really need is simple authorization/registration. I've looked into the facebook developer toolkit, but the documentation is more or less non-existent for Silverlight, and I didn't really get anywhere with it.
Is there a good tutorial or a working library for adding Facebook Connect into a Silverlight app? Or is the best way to run Silverlight in Windowwless mode with HTML overlayed on top?
Are you looking for something like that? http://apps.facebook.com/chatmotion/
Before developing this small test app i took a look at these samples: http://facebooktoolkit.codeplex.com/releases/view/39727
Make sure to download the newest source code of the Facebook Development Kit for .NET and build it yourself since the release version(January) didn't work for me correctly.
Let me know if you have any problems.
I've decided to use the WebBrowser control that was added in Silverlight 4 to accomplish this.
