Can someone teach me how to send messages to one person/contact via Skype using the C# application that I made? I just want to make my application send logs via Skype. I already searched Google and all results pointed me to use Skype4Com but it's not working anymore.
You can choose Skype Developer Platform supported topologies Lync2013 LyncSDK that support chatting through skype

Is there a way to implement skype API in C# or any other language.
I was using Skype4com.DLL but it is deprecated not working with the skype latest updates. I was using it in a Skype plugin(windows application) to log in and make calls. As an alternative, I thought UCWA Skype Web SDK would be the best solution, but it serves a different purpose.
There are companies that are still using it like https://www.minutizer.com/. I can't figure out the way they are able to detect calls and messages.
Help needed! Thanks
According to: Skype Developer Platform supported topologies you can choose from:
You can also choose to use Lync SDK -
By using Lync 2013, a developer can provide instant messaging (IM),
voice, video, application sharing, and meeting session functionality
in a custom client or LOB application
Skype has discontinued the desktop API in 2013. As a result, you wouldn't find any libraries supporting skype programmatically. That's the reason for deprecating libraries like Skype4com and Skype4Java.

The best option for you to implement voice, SMS or video calling is to use a service like Twilio or Plivo which are having wide support for many programming languages including C#.
Spent last few days researching ways to interact with the latest install of Skype Desktop. Hitting roadblocks on every option.
Tried the following -
Skype4COM lib - Does not work with the latest build of Skype. I tried downloading Skype build version < 8, but was unable to attach the Skype.exe process as part of using Skype4COMLib
Skype integration with Outlook 2013 and have a VSTO Plugin for outlook interact with Skype - The VSTO plugins fails to interact with Skype panel
Skype to Slack interaction using Sameroom.io - My contacts in Skype are not on Slack.
Skype to Skype for Business - My contacts in Skype are not on Skype network, and would not be able to register with Skype for business.
Skype to Pidgin - [This works]
Skype Web SDK - After trials the requirement is to run a Lync Server. Skype Web SDK does not work with Skype personal.
Skype Bots - Still working and trying to understand this. Have created an azure bot, and included in my Skype account, but how do I make the bot impersonate me and respond to all the messages posted by my Skype contacts. Because, my Skype contacts will be chatting with me and not with my bot.
I would like to interact with the Skype users in my contacts when they send messages to my account. The goal is the parse message sent to my Skype account, process message, and send the output back to the user who originated the message.
I would really appreciate if the community can help me with giving pointers on how to achieve the above.
Thanks
I am trying to write a windows application to call a phone number(Twilio verified) from my application directly.
What i was able to achieve was:
- To call a phone number and read out a voice sms as mentioned in the TWIML url.
- to call a phone number and then redirect it to another phone number ( by using in the TwiML).
But what i want to do now is:
- Call a phone number directly from the application using my Headphones attached to the pc where the app is running. Is there a way to do that?
Please let me know if my question is not clear enough and i should to try to explain it in more detailed format.
Thanks!!!
Twilio evangelist here.
Unfortunately today we don't offer a native Windows version of Twilio Client, which it what sounds like you are looking for.
The only suggestion I have is to use the .NET browser control to embed a browser into your application. I have not tried this, so I don't know what if any problems you'll have.

My Project:
I need to build up a Skype Listener server for one of my project. It will:
1. Host 8 different dummy Skype accounts.
2. All accounts will already have associated:
(a) Already Recorded audio files
(b) Pre-recorded video files .
3. A Skype call to any of these Skype accounts will automatically initiate the pre-recorded audio or the video depending upon the call type.
My Reasearch:
I have researched in Skype Developer forum but I could not find any URI or API to accept the incoming programatically. However I am able to catch the Incoming call event and respond to that using Skype4COM.
http://devforum.skype.com/t5/Desktop-API/Event-for-incoming-call/td-p/9174
Now As I have to implement the same in 8 differenet skype account running on same machine using secondary method provided by SKype. But while using the same, I am unable to identify that when an incoming call event occurs, which is the account which is receiving the call. So whicheve be the account it opens the same pre-recorded video and not the one assosciated with the skype account.
Hope I am clear in explaining it.
My Problem:
1.I am looking for a method (using SkypeKIT or Skype4COM) to identify the incoming call event and assosciate it with one of the active skype clients on my machine.
2. To play the pre-recorded video and audio, I am currently changing the viedo source of the skype client on my machine. Now Since all the Skype accounts are running on the same client so I am unable to attach different video sources to different accounts. Is there a way to run multiple skype instance on same machine?
Any suggestion/immediate help on how to accomplish these using SkypeKIT and SKype4COM or any other way will be highly appreciated.
P.S: I have re-posted this question with adding my research work.

Okay, so what I need to do is to write C# code, to integrate into an existing application.
I will (most likely) be using a Nokia 7230 mobile phone, and I'm willing to use the Nokia PC Connectivity SDK/API, or just AT commands over from C#, whatever works.
The catch here, though, is that I have absolutely no idea where to even start. I would be eternally grateful if someone could give me a step-by-step guide/tutorial on how to go about setting everything up. I've downloaded the newest versions of the PC Connectivity SDK, the PC Connectivity API, the PC Suite, and the Nokia Connectivity Framework.
If it's at all possible for me to test code with an emulator before actually purchasing a phone, that would be fantastic.
Thank you in advance for any help/advice.
GSMComm is a useful C# library for this, it comes with a bunch of samples/tools to mess around with as well.
I get the impression you going to buy a Nokia handset specifically to handle your SMS stuff? If so, you could just buy a GSM Modem (depending on your location) they are cheaper, don't include extraneous features and are not dependent on using manufacturer specific software.
What you are looking for is called an "SMS Gateway". Most of the articles on the internet discuss how to create one using Linux.
I did find this article though, which teaches you how to do it using C#: http://www.ozekisms.com/high-performance-sms-gateway/product-manual/index.php?owpn=315
It looks like you need the Nokia PC Connectivity API (note: Forum Nokia registration required for download):
Developers can use the Content Access API to build PC applications
that create, modify, and delete SMS and MMS messages. The API can be
used to send and receive SMS and MMS messages.
