I am working with asp.net MVC with web API
I create an account in Microsoft azure
my API successfully publish but I don't know which one is select from below
then I click the link and display below 2 part one is deployment center and quick start I don't know which one is select
what should I do next?

By default, Azure provides us a simple page hostingstart.html when you create App Service. It's the default page when you get redirected when you access the url.
And, I understand you have published the .Net Framework - Web API. And, you clicked on the App Service and navigated to the root which is expected.
Now, you need to type-in the Controllername/Actionmethod name which should look something as shown below.

Can you show the folder structure of the app?
Update: It looks like the database was not created in Azure and so the APIs were throwing an error. Once you create database and it's objects properly in Azure, change the connection string in the code. It should work after that.
I'm having trouble getting the authentication portion working, particularly the external authentication. I'm using a client project to call my API, which then handles all the OAuth processing.
My issue is that once you authenticate through Facebook, it wants to redirect to my API url, and that redirect url has the access_code needed for authorization of subsequent API calls from the client. Is there a best practice for dealing with this situation? For instance, should I parse the access_code out of the url and somehow send it back to the client project?
Searching for how to handle this yields me vague results. Most everything I come across leads back to one of two links:
This is helpful understanding the high level concept
This implies that you should just dig around in the SPA template and figure it out on your own
neither of which really help me out much in a "how-to" sense.
The client project I'm ultimately working with is a Xamarin project, so I'm looking for C# or Xamarin library code how-tos in particular. If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it.
I do not know how to explain this in technical terms. So let me begin with an example:
Story
I have an online e-commerce site www.ABCStore.com . I built this using MVC 4 (Razor) in Dot Net.
My friend has a travel agency for which his online site is www.DEFAgency.com . He got it built in Java.
Both our websites were up and running. One fine day I got a call from a company FicticiousServiceProvider and they asked me if I would be interested in getting customer feedback as a functionality on my website without having to write any code myself. What they offered was, I would have to include just a single line of code in the footer of my Masterpage(or layout page) and then the customers who log on to the site would see a small icon on the pages and would be able to provide their feedback.
The feedback will not be available directly to me. The FicticiousServiceProvider guys will analyze the data and provide them to me on a regular basis or on a need basis.
There were other services too which they offered.
I was really happy to have a functionality like that, specially without having to write any code. I tried it and it worked fine in my .Net website. My friend(with a java website) also added a single line to his code and it worked for him too.
My questions here are:
What is this process called ?
If I were FicticiousServiceProvider, how would I have developed this using .Net ? I mean, how to develop a functionality so that a consumer can consume the service using a single line provided by the service provider. Data transfer from my site in the form of feedback to the FicticiousServiceProvider is also happening, without me being able to see anything.
How was it possible for FicticiousServiceProvider to provide the functionality to a .Net app and a java app without any change in the line provided by them?
I have given the description from a consumers perspective. Please suggest from a developer's perspective. Many Thanks.
These things, like Google Analytics tracking code, are usually some kind of javascript injecton. It will use javascript to 'inject' a bit of code that sends a request to their servers (what their server side is coded in is irrelevant really). They then handle the request that includes the information they've gathered in javascript on the client side and store it, then use server side software to analyse that data to give out reports, etc..
So to try and answer your question separately.
I'd call the process javascript injection.
You would have to find the best way to send a request to your servers and handle that request. Could be done with ASP.Net MVC quite easily but any server side technology/code that can handle requests and send data to a store.
They use javascript which is separate to any server side code and works across browsers on the client side.
I'd like to write a console program in C# that posts a Tweet to Twitter. I've never used the Twitter APIs before and don't know anything about how their authentication works. I found an API library called Twitterizer, but it seems geared towards web applications and wants the user to logon with a web browser. All the API docs on Twitter's website seems geared around this scenario as well.
Is it possible to access the Twitter APIs using a console app with no web browser access? I'm perfectly fine hard coding in the name and password for the Twitter user I want to post under as well. Thanks!

You'll need to use OAuth for authenticating in twitter.
Then use regular HTTP Request to use the twitter JSON-based API.
Here you can find a good article about OAuth, Twitter and console applications.
Also take a loot at linq2twitter lib. From it's documentation;
The Twitter API is built using
Representable State Transfer (REST).
Wikipaedia defines REST as "...a style
of software architecture for
distributed hypermedia systems...",
but I'm going to be so bold as to try
to simplify what that means. In
practice, REST is a Web service
protocol built upon Hypertext Transfer
Protocol (HTTP). You use the REST Web
service by making an HTTP call with a
URL and getting text back in some
form, which is often XML or JSON. So,
if you were to write code that made an
HTTP request with the following URL:
http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/public_timeline.xml
You would get back an XML document
with all of the Twitter statuses from
the public timeline, which is a
snapshot in time of the last 20 tweets
at the time of your request. Go ahead
and open your browser, copy and paste
the URL above into the address bar,
and see what you get back.
I couldn't find any decent information on the web on how to do this, so I decided to write my own blog post with all the details.. Enjoy!

of course you can use anything to connect to Twitter via RESTful api.
you should use oauth, and set up your application in http://dev.twitter.com, then you should read all articles listed in documents, you must specify your app as Client but not Browser so user input a number to get through authentication.
you can use many libraries so that you can save your time, all are listed in the documents
and be CAREFUL, you should not use Twitter's own api console which is buggy (as i know parameters somtimes can't be parsed), you should use APIgee instead which is powerful and stable.
if you want use basic authentication, you should use api proxy (one famous is twip), if you just need only one single C# apps, you must code by yourself:
you should use given username and password to login twitter, parse cookies passed
use normal oauth to get temporaly access token url.
use cookies got from step 1, emulates form submit to allow your apps, capture PIN code
use pin code to finish oauth.
MOST IMPORTANT, you must store access token in client's machine so next time you can bypass above steps
Just wrote a Twitter Bot in C#. This is currently posting tweets to #valuetraderteam.

The API component in the GIST below is less than 500 lines, only dependency is Json.NET, you'll need to download the latest DLL for either x64 or x86 (depending on what platform you are targetting) and include as a reference in your project.
There is an example at the bottom of the page of how you can make a tweet from a console application
Hopefully this is useful to some other people out there.
I wanted to get data from the application insights that are configured with azure portal and wanted to display it on a web page of the asp.net application in the web browser. All I can find until now is a REST API which manipulates the data according to the developers desires but it still displays the results on a the azure portal. What I need is a way to get the data from the azure portal and display it on a web page by applying different filters according to my requirements. I have searched a lot but I am not able to find any clue or a way forward. Please if someone can help me out as it is really frustrating, not to move forward despite trying and exploring as mush as possible.
