How do I perform this?
I'm making a funny little notepad application where you should be able to send your notes to your Facebook account, as a status.
My question more directly is: Where do I find code so I login to "Facebook-write status page"?
And how do I implement it in this silverlight application? Can I use html/Javascript for this maybe?
There is a project at http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/ which lots of people have used to integrate Facebook functionality into their Windows Phone 7 apps.
You don't need to use javascript or html for this.
Facebook has an API that you can use by sending web requests from your application to facebooks servers. The process is not straight forward, so you should check out the documentation here: https://developers.facebook.com/search?q=API
There is an open source C# based API available here: https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/395 It may be easier to use than doing web requests yourself.

Does anyone know is it possible to do a single sign up web application with ADFS in a "pure" angularjs enviroment? I am at the point to decide which framework for my next project. One of the main requirement is the ability to do "single sign up" with ADFS, but I don't want to "mix" angularjs with asp.net, just make thing more complicated. I would like to go pure angular without any asp.net framework, is it even possible?
I know there are a lot of questions on this topic, but it seems no one is really answering the question. Is it because it's not doable?
By the way, It is an intranet web application.
The problem is not with your ADFS server, the ADFS protocol itself, AngularJS, JavaScript or the browser.
It's with the way you tell your client-side application that the user is logged in from your server-side application.
As far as I know there is no way to do "pass-through" authentication over HTTP so you will need to have your users go through the preauthentication step.
With ASP.NET you get an access token "for free" because the ASP.NET application runs on a machine that's in the "trusted" ADFS network. Your browser on the other hand is not. The only way for ADFS to know you are who you say you are is to preauthenticate you.
I just implemented it using the Azure Active Directory for JavaScript library. After IT registered my app for me, I was up and running in 10 mins. There is an AngularJs example in the source code. https://github.com/AzureAD/azure-activedirectory-library-for-js
You should also register your development workstation so you can test locally.
I am sort of new to app development, so this may sound like a stupid question. The company I am working with is trying to get ride of most of there IT infrastructure, so that they don't need any more servers. I have been asked to develop a program that takes information from a google spreadsheet and then with this information puts it into a web browser. I am Planning on using Phyton and selenium web driver. Will I be able to install selenium if i host the application as a Google app engine?
The Reason I want/need to use selenium web driver is because I need to put the information from google into a legacy system. The only way to put information in the system is to mimic a user putting the information in manual in a web browser.
Thank you,
Kai
I don't understand what you think Selenium will be doing here. It seems a very strange way to want to get information from one Google property into another.
Google spreadsheets have a perfectly good API that allows you to read the data from your app and display it to users.
Edit after question update Well, now I don't see what you need GAE for. That is for hosting and running websites, and you only seem to want to enter data into an existing website. That's not what it does at all.
I've been looking for the best way to build a search web/ios/android application with user login and a REST Webservice. I have landed on CakePHP for the Website creation and REST api handling.
I would also use the RestKit API for iOS, and not sure for what RestAPI I'd use for Android.
I also want to be able to use OAuth-2.0 for communicating with Twitter/Facebook/Pinterest.
My Question:
Is there a way to use CakePHP and Parse.com together to handle all the user authentication, and would I need to separate data tables (one on parse.com and the other on another hosting service with CakePHP)?
I would like to keep everything at Parse.com if I could. Any help would be awesome!
I'm not familiar with CakePHP, but if you can completely ignore whatever DB/ORM comes with it by default, you can use Parse on your server and in client apps. There's an un-official PHP library you can use for the server, and they offer iOS and Android SDKs.
I want to send simple data (geolocation data to be precise) from Windows Phone 7 application to a windows forms application and use it, as I'm a total beginner in this field I don't know which tools to use.
I searched about wcf services and tested this method but there's some issues: the data is sent from the phone application but isn't sent to the winforms application (guess something is missing)
If your know how to do this in a quick way, or have good tutorials I'll be thankful.
EDIT
I found this tutorial, it show how to connect directly wp7 application and desktop application without using sockets neither wcf service, I'm wondering if it is really works if the application isn't in localhost.
the like for the tutorial: wp7 tutorial
I had a similar problem and so I created a REST/JSON WCF service hosted in IIS with AppHarbor to provide the data. There's hundreds of ways to do it (Ruby/Heroku, etc..), but that particular one fits well within the Microsoft stack. I also needed to share route data and I used the WCF service to wrap the BingMaps services so that route computations are cached and shared. Considering that I had already created a local model, moving it out of my phone project into a service took less than a few hours (including the usual config hiccups, and forgetting to add the appharbor user to my bitbucket repo).
Consuming the service from WinForms (or any client) shouldn't be an issue as the service knows nothing about the client implementation.
Here's a tutorial from code project. REST WCF Service with JSON
I think you would need to implement some sort of server side solution which you could upload to on your Windows Phone and download from on your Windows Form application. This could be achieved using a WCF service which was connected to a server side database.
Another option would be to use sockets and communicate directly with your WinForms application. Check this tutorial on how to use basic sockets on WP7.
I've currently got an app that me and a few mates have be working on and we would like to add some degree of twitter integration - basically we would like a user to be able to logon and tweet from the application..
I've looked an API but they all seem to use MVC and some sort of Callback URLS to process the login..
My question is how exactly can we handle that with WPF? Ive really no idea so any help would be fantastic
The API we are using for the integration is http://www.twitterizer.net/..
So - We are looking for how to manage the logon to Twitter through our application and how to store the Data safely.
http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/
This is a good API which uses Linq.
You should try it out.
