one of our clients want to use google translate in its web application which is built in asp.net C#. First of all, is its free version or paid version?
I found one reference and we have already tried it.
https://www.w3schools.com/howto/howto_google_translate.asp
The only concern is can we use without Api key or license or we need to purchase. Our asp.net code will be published in IIS and multiple users are there to access this URL.
Yes, it is a free service.
You can use it without API key or license.
It translates your site on front-end, and totally different from having a page with multiple languages.
Check https://cloud.google.com/translate/docs/reference/rest if you need server side translating and more options.

I am wondering if there exists a web analytics product that meets these criteria:
Can be installed on private server, not using anything cloud-based
Can be installed on IIS/.Net and does not require PHP, or any server side language beyond ASP.NET
Can use a local SQL Server as its datastore (not MySQL or any kind of cloud storage)
Can work with an internal intranet web application without a fully qualified domain name
Can track page views and button clicks using simple JavaScript and/or C# APIs
Is free or at least cheap
I am trying to avoid installing PHP on IIS to run Piwik or something similar, and this is a last ditch effort. My searches are turning up nothing.
The answer to this question is no.
Until a few years ago Webtrends (www.webtrends.com) was providing exactly what you are looking for (even if it is not for free).
I am not sure, though, if the On Premise version of their software is still available.
Hope this helps!
I am planning to integrate a web phone/softphone in my ASP.Net web site. My idea is to provide an interface on my web page by which user can start a VOIP call to a pre-defined number.
Since I am new to VOIP/SIP domain I am not able to google exactly what I need or from where should I start. What I understand so far is there are open source SIP libraries and some licensed SDKs as well. Also there are some off the shelf client side plugins available which we can embed in the web site.
I am looking for various solutions and also open for paid SDK or client side plugin. So far I have read about Ozeki C# SDK, Mizu plugin and Zoiper plugin.
Can someone help me understand following:
1. From implementation point of view what we will be the difference between using open source SIP libraries vs paid SDKs like Ozeki vs readymade plugins like Mizu or Zoiper
Which are other options available to implement this?
From a reliability perspective which SDK or library is best suited?
Thanks
Amey
Other options: any softphone that can register protocol handler - if you have control over webpage content and can insert "callto" or similar links into it. If you do not have control over webpage - add Telify plugin for firefox to replace text that looks like phone number with equivalent link.
My company uses Google Apps for our e-mail/business app provider. Every employee has an account here.
I'm looking into creating an asp.net web app that would allow users to sign-in (using their Google Apps account) and then accomplish certain things (first goal: keep a current record of the employee's skillset).
Before I get started, I wanted to find out if an OpenID login system using Google Apps is any more difficult than doing it the standard way, or if I need to be aware of any pitfalls.
We have one domain, and the only requirement would be that the user has an open account that exists.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts on this!
I have slides for you from a talk I gave a month ago: Google Apps Account As OpenID
http://www.slideshare.net/timdream/google-apps-account-as-openid
Basically there are two ways of doing this.
Follow the Google documentation, patch your ASP.net OpenID library to accept Google Apps OpenID that is not really discoverable from the claimed URL.
Install a set of discovery information on the claimed URL (/openid?id=XXXX on your website) to make your Google Apps OpenID behaviors the same way present OpenIDs do.
Either way, after completion user will be able to login to your ASP.net app with following URL:
https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/site-xrds?hd=[yourappsdomain]
My solution to this issue was to use the DotNetOpenAuth library -- I was unaware that the latest version has Google Apps support.
Highly recommend the product -- you can find it here.
I modified one of the example files and was up and running in no time.
Thanks to all who answered!
We host websites in a shared hosting environment where Microsoft SQL Server full text searching is not allowed. We would love an ASP.NET API that allowed similar functionality to get around this restriction.
We can't easily install software on the shared servers, so the API would have to be written in ASP.NET.
SQL "like" queries are our alternative and they are fast enough (our websites never exceed more than 50Mb of text) but they don't rank results well, have a dictionary, do stemming etc
For this type of circumstance I'd rely on Google and create a proper sitemap. You can integrate google search right into your website too with Google SiteSearch.
If you need more control over full-text search, you can use features of the RDBMS to support this. You don't say which brand of RDBMS you're using. I assume it's likely Microsoft SQL Server if you're using ASP.NET.
See the docs for Full-Text Search at MSDN.
For other brands of RDBMS, see my answer: How best to develop the sql to support Search functionality in a web application?
Lucene is what we were looking for http://incubator.apache.org/lucene.net/
I need a hit counter for my various pages, but I can't use google analytics (my client isn't ready for cloud computing) and I can't use anything that requires access to the IIS logs (the server administrator owns them and doesn't want to give them up)
What resources are there for user usage tracking for what is essentially a hosted ASP.NET account?
I'm running an ASP.NET application on IIS 6. I've turned on health monitoring, but so far that is just creating log data with no analytics.
I recently wrote up a list of (mostly) free GA alternatives.
http://regulargeek.com/2010/05/29/25-free-google-analytics-alternatives/
Many of these are cloud-based, but there are some that are completely hosted as well. I cannot recommend a particular solution, but the most popular self-hosted packages look like Grape Web Statistics (http://www.quate.net/grape), Open Web Analytics (http://www.openwebanalytics.com/) and Piwik (http://piwik.org/).
You could use something that logged raw data to a database and then analyse this information.

You could add an http module to the asp.net pipeline and write off values to a sql database if you're in a do-it-yourself mood.
How much detail do you need? If don't need all the extensive features of these listed, I'd just write something myself.
for example, at the bottom of your master page, put something like:
<webapp:MyPageCounter ID="counter" runat="server" />
and then define the MyPageCounter usercontrol to log the page requested, IP address, and headers. then you'd have all the information to generate some reports from.
If you DO need more features, well, I think some shared hosting allow PHP apps. ;)
You could run the PHP analytics tool Piwik under Phalanger, a tool which executes PHP on the CLR
