this is my first thread here and I am trying to be as accurate as possible. Furthermore I am not a native speaker so I am sorry in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
I've just started working on a project to automate the parameterization of Siemens drives with the software Siemens Starter v4.4.
The project description is to write some VB-Scripts to set values in the Starter software and to have an html frontend for the user.
The problem is, that my company is always using the most recent Internet Explorer version. But unfortunetly VBS can only interface correctly with IE10 or lower.
Therefore I am wondering if it is possible to have a standalone IE10 portable installation next to the required scripts. The problem as far as I know is to access the objects used for the communication of IE and VBS.
Of course I am open for any other method of creating a simple frontend.
I am not a professional developer and have to teach myself. Despite of that I have some programming experience in C, C++, C# and VBS. Therefore I would appreciate a solution where I can find some online help and documentation for.
Thank you in advance.

I'm working on a simple download manager as a project of mine (C# .NET 4) and I was wondering how browser integration is done in applications of this sort.
I've tried to search and came up with nothing, probably because I'm not sure what it is I'm looking for. I was hoping someone could enlighten me and explain how application take over downloads in the browser.
Any bit of information would be welcome, thanks.
Currently the only way to integrate an application to the browser is through NPAPI. http://code.google.com/chrome/extensions/npapi.html
It would be recommended to develop that in C++ since there are no NPAPI headers for C#. I believe Chrome will soon have a Downloads Extension API so you can do all this in JavaScript.
AppHub's reporting tools are very lacking right now (at least for WP7 apps, which is what I'm publishing), I can't see a chart that clearly let me compare the 3 apps I have, I can't see the actual net revenue, I can't easily see in which country the apps are selling more.
Any way to go around this?
Have anyone written a script or Excel macro to provide more info from the data I can grab on the site?
Thank's

You might try www.mopapp.com
It integrates with AppHub/WP7 Marketplace, as well as with many other app stores and platforms (iTunes, Android Market, RIM App World, Amazon Appstore, GetJar, Handango, ...)
I have an assignment which is to import mpp file into database via ASP.NET (C#).
Can anyone please advice me on this matter.
Any help is very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Depending on the situation, using Interop isn't necessarily a good choice (have to have Project installed on the machine).
You can use MPXJ to open the mpp file and read the information in it. It's free and open-source and works fairly well, though since it's a port from Java, you have to do some things in a Java way in your .NET code.
A paid option is ASPOSE.Tasks, which is a little nicer to use, but pretty expensive.
Project programmability is available in C# but docs are only available for VBA.
This should get you going - all the stuff that is available in VBA can be accessed from C# using the Project Primary Interop Assembly from the list here.
Check out Application.FileSaveAs.
Is it possible to have an application built using the .NET speech recognition classes and pass in a WAV file for it to go through and create a text representation of it. For example, this what I'm trying to do:
We have a QA department at my office and they have to listen to hundreds of calls a day which is quite impossible, and there's not enough people listening to everything to keep up. What I want to do is have the audio file uploaded to our server and have the server parse it and create a transcript of it. It doesn't matter if it's not perfect, but just a base which would be easier to skim through a couple of dozen lines of text than listen to a 2 hour recording.
Based on a saved transcript I can implement full-text search in the database and also run checks against the transcript if someone is saying something that's a misrepresentation.
So, is it possible to create an application using the .NET speech recognition classes and just pass the WAV file to it and it spit out a rough transcript?
I've dug around MSDN on the Speech classes briefly while thinking up the idea, so I don't have that much knowledge if it's possible to be done.
If possible, I would appreciate any examples in C#. Topic 1055347 is similar to the question I'm having, and was provided links, the most specific of which is in C++. I'm not a C++ developer, nor have I ever went to school for programming, I'm all self though C#, so I would like to stay in the language that I know.
Thanks in advance!
This sounds like you've got a call center type of application. Microsoft Speech Server has a SR engine optimized for telephony (8000 Hz sample rate), which will generate much better recognitions than the desktop SR engine. However, the engine isn't really designed for transcription (although it can do it), and the transcriptions definitely need to be reviewed before further processing occurs. Microsoft Exchange Unified Communications uses the SR engine to generate transcripts of voice mail, and while it's better than nothing, it often generates amusing nonsense.
With areas like speech recognition you are likely to either find a stand alone EXE or an API in c/c++.
For the links in the other topic, you can use a tool like P Interop Assistant to generate C# code. The C# code acts like a wrapper around the unmanaged dll, so you can call it from c#.
This is likely to be the best way to get the functionality you are looking for.
Yes.
I did such an application a few years ago on the Tablet PC; you can read about it at http://web.archive.org/web/20060615192119/www.devx.com/TabletPC/Article/30761 (At the time, I spoke of using Interop to access the libraries, but I believe that the programming model has remained the same, just with a managed wrapper.)
At the time, the results were very poor, but maybe for your use-case better than nothing.
How about route the calls to Google Voice? I'm sure there are similar services. I have been amazed at its accuracy so far, plus you can click and listen to it if required. Google Voice will forward voice calls to SMS or email.
UPDATE: On reread, maybe since you are recording calls it won't work as I yous the voice message left.
I want to get some of the netmeeting functionality in my C# program. Mainly I want to be able to call a H.323 teleconference system by IP. Google turns up mention of Netmeeting SDK but no download link and it seems that Microsoft has discontinued Netmeeting altogether.
Can someone give a suggestion or a pointer on the best way to go about doing something like this?
Netmeeting has been retired and replaced by Live Meeting, Office Communicator, and the Office Communications Server. Which is a Very Good Thing, as they by are orders of magnitude more advanced and modern communication tools than Netmeeting (not to mention just plain more reliable). They are also easily interoperable with .NET. The Live Meeting Service Developer Portal is a good place to start.
