I am an asp.net developer and would like to create an application to be deployed in orkut application.Where should i start from ? Whats the steps ? Is ASP.NET is a must to develop an application ?
The Orkut developer page would probably be the best place to start. I haven't developed for Orkut directly, but I've done some development using OpenSocial, which the Orkut API is based on. It's not tied to specific to a specific server-side language like ASP.NET - you "interact" with Orkut through JavaScript libraries and REST service calls - so an Orkut application could be developed in any language that can produce/consume HTTP. You can develop your server-side piece in ASP.NET, but it isn't required.
It is simple.. Take one example orkut application. Open that application iframe into new tab. Save the source and add this source into your orkut application content section xml. Upload your xml and followthe steps to add that into sandbox.orkut.com. Furnish your application. Submit for production orkut environment. Enjoy.. :)

I have a basic website created using VB.NET. I need to add authentication and, as we use Azure Active Directory, I thought I could connect it to that.
All I need to do is be able to have the username of the current user, so I can then turn on or off buttons etc depending who they are.
All the examples I can find are for ASP.NET Web applications.
How do I add to a standard site?
Thanks

I have an ASP.Net website built in .net 3.5. When clicking on one of the aspx page, I want to open an MVC appliation inside that page. MVC app is developed by another company. What is the best way of doing that?
Scott Hanselman's Article doesn't include this scenario I guess.
It depends on what kind of interaction you are expecting between your app and the externally developed app. If the UI isn't going to interact between them then an iframe is probably what you're looking for. If it is going to interact then you can interact between them using exposes apis or web services on both sides.
I have a c# windows application that can successfully record audio using user's desktop mic.
Now i want this facility to run from ASP.NET website. (Note: user would not have this application installed on his machine).
Is there a way that i can run this application from a web page and record and save sound file on user's desktop? I searched on google and found that it is achievable using ActiveX. But i am not sure how to do this.... :((
Any Clue...??
Thanks...
You are not going to be able to do this using standard HTML / web browser functionality.
You will need to use a richer, client-side platform like Silverlight or Flash. ActiveX could also support this, but it's a pretty dated technology. Better to go with Silverlight or Flash.
Does anybody have a clue how I might embed an ASP.NET 3.5 app inside a Visual Basic 6 application?
My other option is to provide a hyperlink inside the VB6 application that will open the ASP.NET app.....BUT I would prefer to embed the ASP.NET app within a tab control in VB6 if at all possible.
thanks in advance
For the auto-login to the .net app (assuming it's ASP.net) I would have the vb6 application login process write a session GUID to the database, and use it as a get or post variable when building a link to the .net application.
On the ASP.NET side, modify your MembershipProvider to honor a guid and username as evidence of successful authentication to the vb6 app.
There may be some additional security precautions you should take depending on how guarded your environment needs to be.
Realistically, your best option is probably to use the Web Browser control on a new tab, and point that at your ASP.NET application.
For auto-login, you SHOULD be able to have users login once. You'll probably need to enable a "remember me" feature in your ASP.NET application.
It'd be a two part process.
Create a .NET library to host asp.net, http://www.west-wind.com/presentations/aspnetruntime/aspnetruntime.asp.
Then use interopt to launch the library. Sounds like a really bad idea though.
That sounds like a terrible idea.
I think you should give more background on the situation so alternatives can be suggested.
EDIT: You say the VB6 app cannot be rewritten... but can it be edited? Depending on the complexity of the functionality in the ASP.Net app you could alter the ASP.Net app to include a web service and access that functionality from the VB6 app.
I have a .NET 2.0 WinForms application that was developed using the Composite Application Block and Smart Client Software Factory.
I'm considering the development of a module that would contain a browser control that would access the ASP.NET website using credentials established when the user logged into the WinForms client.
My goal is to use this strategy to transition all of the modules that are currently in the client to ASP.NET and retire the 'smart' client. Security for the WinForms client is currently implemented using the ASP.NET Membership functionality.
Is this possible? Sensible?
Yes, you can. Make a SmartPart that hosts the WebBrowser control, add some buttons for forward and backward navigation, and a url textbox; then point the WebBrowser control at your web application's URL.
It is sensible. We used CAB/SCSF to create an application we called "The Integrated Desktop". This application serves as the platform for all internal apps for the company; everything is integrated into this one desktop application. We added a foundational module, basically a beefy version of what I described in the above paragraph, to facilitate web browsing since a few pre-existing apps were web-based and our users wanted access to those at the same place they were doing all their other work. One cool thing was the use of the WebBrowser's ObjectForScripting property that allowed for somewhat seamless integration between the desktop app and the web app being hosted inside.
What are your requirements?
You would choose a web app over a smart client mainly
if you have to reach people that
are not on the Windows platform or
you have a need for a
zero-install app
By having your app users having to access the web app via the smart client (browser-control) you would be missing (1) and (2). In my opinion it would defeat its purpose.
