Integration between MS Exchange and Adobe Flex - apache-flex

Is it possible to build Flex application to send and receive email to and from Ms Exchange which I am building my CMS platform? Coldfusion does it but do anyone have suggestion?

If you can create COM objects with Flex then you can use a library such as Outlook Rememption http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/, which has Exchange support. I'm using this in a project at the moment and its working very well.
Exchange also offers several other API's amongst which is A web-services API and WebDav with which you should be able to integrate. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb204073%28EXCHG.80%29.aspx

Microsoft does not currently recommend, and does not support, Automation of Microsoft Office applications from any unattended, non-interactive client application or component (including ASP, ASP.NET, DCOM, and NT Services), because Office may exhibit unstable behavior and/or deadlock when Office is run in this environment.
If you are building a solution that runs in a server-side context, you should try to use components that have been made safe for unattended execution. Or, you should try to find alternatives that allow at least part of the code to run client-side. If you use an Office application from a server-side solution, the application will lack many of the necessary capabilities to run successfully. Additionally, you will be taking risks with the stability of your overall solution. Read more about that in the Considerations for server-side Automation of Office article.
If you deal with Exchange accounts you may consider using EWS or Graph API. See Explore the EWS Managed API, EWS, and web services in Exchange for more information about EWS.

Visibility of data with web api and xamarin.forms

I am creating small project in xamarin.form (to learn xamarin and mvvm pattern ), where my mobile application will be connect to SQL Server database. On every forum people suggest to use Web Api to get json's from database and next in xamarin application i go under link where is json, parse it and its done. I did an test project which is doing that and it works very well. Unfortunatelly after few days I realized that all data is visible.. If I enter under url/api/subject I get this data in json.
My question is. Should I connect from my xamarin application directly to SQL Database OR is there any way to not showing json's in browser?
To function correctly, many mobile applications are dependent on the cloud, and so integrating web services into mobile applications is a common scenario. The Xamarin platform supports consuming different web service technologies, and includes in-built and third-party support for consuming RESTful, ASMX, and Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) services.
This article discusses this topics.
For customers using Xamarin.Forms, there are complete examples using each of these technologies in the Xamarin.Forms Web Services documentation.
I recommend you learn more about REST architecture

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.

Create Outlook Task Request from ASP.NET

I'm looking for a way to create Outlook Task Request from ASP.NET. I'm using Exchange Server 2003 for email server. Basically, user of my ASP.NET application will do something that will create Outlook Task based on some logic. Is this natively supported in .NET or must I use third party component?
You can use WebDav for Exchange. Here is an example how to do this.
Are you using Outlook with an Exchange Server? If so, you can use Exchange Web Services.
Exchange Web Services are an easy way of doing pretty much anything within an Exchange mailbox, so if you're going to be doing more than just Outlook Tasks, then it may be worth looking at. Otherwise, AFAIK, there are no native .Net classes (that ship with the framework).
I have also not seen any 3rd party components out there so far...

What is the best VOIP toolset for use with .Net development?

I have a need to explore VOIP integration into a .Net application. It would be incredibly helpful if the toolset was usable via ASP.Net (version 2.0 or higher), and provided the developer the option to allow interaction on the client either embedded within the web browser or external to the client web browser. It should be compatible at a minimum with Internet Explorer, but would be better if browser independence were an option.
I don't really understand your question -- what are you trying to DO with VoIP? Since you mentioned ASP.NET I'm guessing you mean some kind of server app? If you explain more about what you want to do, we can give you better advice.
You could check out Microsoft's Speech stuff: http://www.microsoft.com/speech/speech2007/default.mspx. As I understand it, Speech Server was moved into being part of OCS. I remember that it supported using .NET 3.0's Workflow Foundation as well as some multi-modal stuff with ASP.NET.
FreeSWITCH is a flexible VoIP system that works for both large-scale server implementations as well as embedded scenarios (say as an ActiveX softphone). There is full .NET and Mono support via mod_managed. (This allows you to create voice applications in FreeSWITCH using any .NET language.) There's also an XML-based API that allows you to send and receive events to control a remote FS server. You could use this from ASP.NET. FreeSWITCH is very active in #freeswitch#irc.freenode.net so you can get a lot of advice there.
