Please tell me how can i use/integrate/get Outlook's Scheduler in my asp.net application. i mean a person can use Outlook's scheduler to create his schedule..and i can show it in my asp.net application. or if any sample scheduler code/control is available than also give me link of it.. plez help me out.. thanks.
i have just read about "Google Data API" and "Calendar Data API" plez tell me about it.. is it can provide me facilities of good scheduler?
You can't reliably use the Outlook API from an ASP.NET application. Outlook is only designed to be automated from interactive client applications.
You can however use the Exchange Web Services API to access the data in Exchange. This is much better than using Outlook even if it were possible because you don't incur the heavy overhead of the Outlook application just to access the data.
Exchange Web Services
Here is an excellent scheduling tool in ASP.net. Have been using it for years and it is great.

I understand that there is an API... but how do I implement it? I have a working node.js application but now I have to bring it over to asp.net. I think working from scratch on my asp.net web app is the best option now but I do not know how to start.
I agree that knowing the exact issues you run into will help us give a better answer, but to get you started here is the .net sdk

and the standard api reference with examples

I'm pretty new to services within .NET and not too experienced with .NET in general, so please excuse my ignorance.
I've been tasked with implementing a self-contained login control which could be used within a number of applications. I've done some browsing around and have made a little progress, but wondered if there might be a better way to go, before I go too far.
So far, I have an AJAX Server Control which includes a .asmx web service that is being called through AJAX.
I have concerns about the security of this solution and also understand that .asmx is no longer in favor due to the rise of WCF and Web API. I've tried to find an example of WCF or web API being used in a similar manner, but haven't come across anything. Is this possible?
I'm also thinking that maybe a better approach would be to have the Web API service run outside of the Control, but just have the control call it.
Is this even a secure way to manage authorization and authentication?
Any pointers would be appreciated.
You can start here: Exposing WCF Services to Client Script
I can't find anything on the implementation of service discovery for the ASP.NET Web API. For a new project I need to make a decision between WCF and Web API. The service element will be consumed by a variety of clients, mobile, client-side JavaScript but also an ASP.NET website.
For the website the convenience of being able to generate a client against a WCF service is obviously a plus. I am not that familiar with RESTful web services but I see that there is Web Application Description Language (WADL). Maybe it is my ignorance but surely it is a good thing to be able to advertise the correct way to consume your service?
My main question: is there anything that generates a WADL or similar for WEB API?
Secondary question: this tool looks like it generates a client based on a WADL, is there anything else that makes life easy keeping a client up to date with a RESTful web service?
There is a considerable amount of work going in there. It is not finished but watch the space.

I have to write an app for iPad that would take data from SQL Server and post it to the iPad. I looked up on this over the Internet and found that i have to write a web service to expose the data from SQL server using ASP.NET. I did an app previously in android that would take data from my dropbox a/c and display it to the user. I made use of the drop-box api available. I was wondering if anything like that exists for SQL? Also, i have to code in Obj-C for the iPad, so how will
i write ASP.NET code? I have more doubts.
Thanks in advance.
There are many options for web services. If you are developing in ASP.NET and don't want to invest to much time in just accessing the data I would suggest some software that will help you generate the source code.
WSSF (Web Service Software Factory) is software that will assist you in creating a SOAP web service and it generates source code for you. I do recommend however working through a tutorial first before just jumping into using this. WSSF uses visual studio as well.
Once you have a web service that packages your SQL data for communication through http requests. You will need to parse the data communicated in Objective-C. For this you'll find SudzC to be very helpful.
SudzC generates all the source code for accessing your web service in Objective-C, given the WSDL.xml file of your web service (a file that lays out the design of your web service).
Although these software will save you a lot of coding, I wish I could tell you that this will be a short and easy process. However this is vary rarely the case, developing this will take you a couple of days.
I do know that people often use RESTful web services when dealing with the iOS enviroment, although I do not have the same kind of experience with them as I do SOAP web services. I hope that this information is helpful to you.
I've done this. The best way is to use .NET 3.5 or higher to create a WCF (Windows Communication Foundation) project. These projects will let you communicate with your mobile application using REST or SOAP. They also let you send data in XML or JSON format. You will then need to create a REST or SOAP client in your IPad application to communicate with the server.
Use OData. See Creating an OData API for StackOverflow including XML and JSON in 30 minutes for how to publish your SQL Server data as an OData service. See Consuming OData using Objective-C for how to consume the OData service from your iPhone app.
I am developing an application in asp.net mvc where i need to have Chat application intergrated in the web page. The chat application should be able to support group chat, private chat, simple file transfer and user should be able to create their own rooms.
Can u people tell me where i can buy a simple chat application with above functionalities. I need it immediately.
or
you could just suggest how to create my own application. The technology to use or just any idea to start.
As i said, i need this immediately, buying asp.net chat application with above functionalities is the best option.
and most important i should be able to integrate chat application in my existing MVC project. We are using ASP.NET MVC, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, Linq To Sql as database interaction tech and C#.
I wouldn't expect to find many commercial options for ASP.NET MVC based chat rooms, since platform is still quite young, plus most buyers would be able to use an "old fashioned" ASP.NET chat application (which is already widely available).
If you need something now, and you are willing to pay, I would say: buy an ASP.NET Forms chat and do a bit of plumbing to make it work against your user repository etc. I know of CuteChat, which is capable of doing this kind of integrating, but many components are likely to provide this feature.
Should you decide to build a chat application yourself - something that does not sound like a viable solution for something you need immediately - you might want to have a look at the AspComet library, which provides a service layer on top of ASP.NET to help you use COMET techniques (long polling etc).
If you need it "immediately" writing your own is pretty much out of the question. Creating a reliable chat service from the ground up takes time.
Pure ASP.Net (technically HTTP) chat services are highly unreliable. Even Facebook's and Google's HTTP chat clients despite their best efforts still have their issues. What you should be looking for is a Flash/Silverlight control of some kind.
If you're willing to forgo the file transfer capabilities there are a myriad of IRC clients that are capable of everything else you mentioned and IRC Servers range from cheap to free.
