How to read outlook express contacts from asp.net application? - asp.net

I want to import contacts from my outlook account to my web application in asp.net, any help?

I was going to say that OE uses the Windows Address Book but that seems to have changed since vista.
Either way there are APIs that will let you read the data.

Can I use microsoft.interop.outlook dll in azure app service?

I am using Outlook meeting invitation for sending meeting using asp.net. Its working on Local machine, but When I deployed on Azure server, its not worked. Please suggest me way to implement Outlook meeting.
You cannot use Interop assemblies for applications, since they depend on the application that they are for to be installed.
If you want to do something with an M365/O365 account, please have a look at using Microsoft Graph.

SQL Server and iPad app interaction

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.

Client Timberline Office Integration from a .NET Web Application

I have an ASP.NET application where I need to push data from the ASP.NET application into the client's Timberline Office database at the users request. I need to do this by connecting to the client's Pervasive ODBC Driver to insert data into the Timberline data structures.
I would like to build a component (ActiveX, or something like that) that would work in IE at a minimum, and also the Firefox and Chrome browsers if possible. I would like to build this component using VB.NET and Visual Studio 2008 if possible.
Can anyone provide any resources (web sites, code examples) to help me with this?
Thanks

How could I setup users in Membership Services from a Desktop application

This is odd, but we have written an asp.Net web application (all's well there) but now we are importing a large amount of data, and in this case, users with existing usernames and passwords. The import is being done with a desktop application.
I need to take each user from the old system, and create a corresponding user in the new system, and to do that I need to add each of them to asp.net membership services.
I'm at a complete loss as to how I can do this from the desktop. I mean, I've got references to System.Web.Security, but what would I put in my App.config?
I'm sorry, I don't think I fully understand Membership Services enough to phrase this question all that well. But can someone point me in the right direction please?
You should check following SO threads for more information :
