using iOS(iPhone Operating System) APIs in my asp.net mvc3 applicaton? - asp.net

I wanna use iOS APIs in my web application.Is it possible?
any example?
Actually I wanna use sound notifications for my web application on iPhone.
Give me suggestions.
thanks
Abdullah

No, it's not possible. The iOS API is for native applications, not web applications.
Your best bet would be to research how to leverage the HTML5 sound features to achieve what you want. Doing so comes with the added benefit that your app will be compatible with non-iOS devices as well.

Framework used to develop the new windows azure management portal?

Does anyone know what framework microsoft used to develop the metro like web management portal on windows azure. If so. Is it available to developers?
I posed the same question and got a lot of hate for it. The winning answer is the Metro UI Pack. It does a lot of what they do in Azure, but you'd have to implement the rest yourself.

The CSS is probably custom, but the portal uses a few open source libraries for the javascript part:
jquery-1.7.1
jquery-ui
jsObservable
JsRender
JsViews
jquery.event.drag
You can take a look at this codepen: https://codepen.io/utillity/project/editor/ArjgLa
It's basically a cascade of flexboxes.
Microsoft probably did not use this framework, but you might try jq-metro

Get image from scanner in web app

I need to build a web application in asp.net where users can use their scanner to upload images to the website. Is there a flash or a silverlight component out there that can accomplish this?
Flash or Silverlight might not a good choice. You may use an ActiveX (in IE) or an NPAPI plugin (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) to get access to the scanner via the TWAIN API.
If you have the time or a limited budget, you can create your own plugin. Otherwise, you can try a commercial TWAIN library. Dynamsoft has a multi-browser web-scanning toolkit which supports scanning and uploading images in all mainstream browsers/

Asp.net application for voice calls

I have a requirement for web application developed in asp.net which allows users to make voice calls among each other from the website.
I have looked at api of skype but it seems more inclined towards desktop application. IS there any api which supports for web application like gtalk etc.
Which technology could be best used for developing such kind of applications? Any input, references would be helpful.
I did read that jabber is underlying technology for gtalk. Does jabber support voice calls, and would it be useful for my situation?
If you can include Flash, it has API for that job, but for client side layer only... probably you can chose java/.net for server side.
The only solution here is flash. Gmail / Gtalk requires the user to download a plugin for it to work, so technically it is a windows application being called from a webpage.
I recommend flash and asp.net for the backend, as said above. Either that or if you are OK with deploying plugins, you could go that route. I wouldn't recommend it unless it is internal only.

ASP.NET - Mobile Applications Development

Dear All,
We are planning to develop Mobile Applications.
Would you please let me know the following information, if you have an idea.
Merits and demerits when we use ASP.NET for Mobile Applications Development.
Best reference book for ASP.NET Mobile Applications Development.
Many Thanks,
Regards,
Anupriya.
So, I'm not sure that I'm understanding your question correctly... When you develop a web application in ASP and host it on a server, both mobile devices and regular computers can use that application in their respective browsers.
It's important to realize the difference between a web application that can be accessed properly on a mobile device and an application that runs natively on a mobile device.
So, if you want to build an application that is accessible on mobile and desktop devices, then a web application is potentially a good choice.
The language you choose for your web application has no bearing on whether or not you will have success in allowing mobile users to access your application.
That being said, what you probably need is a good intro ASP book and (most importantly from your perspective) a good book on mobile website development.

Do I have to use J2ME for Blackberry development?

I would like to begin developing for the Blackberry platform and, specifically, the Bold and also the Storm device which is coming out soon. Do I need to get into Java and J2ME or can I develop sites in ASP.NET and just keep utilizing the skills I already have?
I am completely new to mobile platform development and have no idea what it will take to target these Blackberry devices. I am hoping to continue to use my ASP skills.
To develop Blackberry Applications that are full-featured, have acceptable performance, and look nice, you need to use the RIM native apis.
You can use J2ME applications, but they typically don't mesh well with a full-keyboarded device.
And, of course, web apps will look even worse than that.
This question might help you. "Creating a mini-site in asp.NET that works on blackberry, Windows Mobile, and iPhone"
Are you talking about websites (because you say "develop sites in ASP.NET") or native Blackberry applications (because you say "developing for the Blackberry platform")?
Applications which run on the Blackberry use J2ME. If your application is accessed from a browser on the Blackberry, then it's the server the web app runs on that determines the language, not that it's being accessed from the Blackberry browser.
Then there's Blackberry MDS for integration with enterprise apps. I don't know much about this (never used it or seen an application that uses it) but it's described here: http://na.blackberry.com/eng/services/mobile.jsp

If you are just doing web development, you don't need to know J2ME for Blackberry. J2ME is a supported JAVA framework for device specific applications. You just need to be familiar with HTML rendering for mobile devices
Assuming that you are building a web app that you intend to be loaded by a Blackberry browser, I suggest building mobile specific pages that are cross compatible across many devices types and configurations.
Look at the Blackberry Browser Development Guides which offer suggestions/best-practices for mobile web development that can applied to all of mobile web development.
Please read this https://web.archive.org/web/20150107061257/https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/systems/index-139239.html
It talks about how one application should not mix RIM UI API calls with CLDC and MIDP API calls.
Ofcourse, I have to mention also that that link is really dated.
