Documentation for Web API in Windows Store apps (Metro apps) - c#

I remember seeing a few months ago some documentation on MSDN for accessing a Web API from within a Windows Store app, with samples, but I cannot find this page anymore, and a Google search doesn't yield a single related result for MSDN.
Anyone know where the documentation for this is?

[nkvu - moving out of the comments and into answers in case anyone else is looking for a similar thing]
I don't know where it on MSDN but there seems to be a downloadable sample here. And docs here and here showing code but no downloadable sample.

Most of the System.Net.Http namespace which includes the HttpClient is available for Windows Store apps.
See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-US/library/System.Net.Http.aspx

Fast Binding to Active Directory

Passthrough authentication in my web server application written in C# is performing extremely poorly; successful login events take as long as 10 or 15 seconds using the System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagmeent API.
I would like to switch to using System.DirectoryServices.Protocols and fast binding as described in this MSDN article Using Fast Bind, but it is bereft of any details or code samples.
Can you point me to or provide examples of .NET code doing fast bind user authentication with s.ds.p? I have been very unsuccessful googling.
After more browsing, I found this page which does have complete C# code sample.
Joe Kaplan's book .NET Developer's Guide to Directory Services Programming has some examples as well, that can be found here.

How to update content via Google Sites API?

My apologies if this has already been requested/answered before, but I'm having a hard time trying to find information on the web about this. I've been tasked to find a way to directly update the content of a Google Sites page (Such as a text box or image) using the API.
I've been looking about the web for examples of doing this using C#, and have not found much to go by. I have some experience with writing/calling REST and SOAP APIs, but I can't seem to work out what Google uses for its API.
I'm struggling as to how I approach this, as the few examples I have found don't really walk through the code, so they leave me little to understand in order to manipulate it to what I want to achieve. One site I did find was Sites API Demo
Does anybody have any examples, or able to provide a simple example of updating content on a Google Site?
I appreciate any help you can give.
Mark
I realise this is an old question, but I have successfully updated the content of a google sites page using the library provided here, and following the example in the wiki.
I compiled the source as a .dll and added it as a reference to my project.

Where do I find the latest Google Docs API with the source code of the samples?

I've been trying to use Google Spreadsheet API in C# by following these instructions.
I downloaded the API from the official Downloads page. However, there are two things wrong with it:
The API seems outdated, because I could not find the class OAuth2Parameters mentioned in the tutorial, only OAuthParameters.
The sample directory only contains executable files and no source code. I could really use the source code of the Spreadsheet.exe sample, as it fits my needs pretty well.
You can grab the source code from the project page - I've just done that and built it with no problems. OAuth2Parameters is in the oauthparameters.cs file. I don't know if there's a binary release of the latest version of the libraries, I'm afraid.
(Note that I work for Google, but this post isn't written on behalf of Google - I haven't had much to do with the GData API, although I know someone who has, so if this answer doesn't help I may be able to get more information on Monday...)

Access to Facebook?

As a little learning project, I'd like to make a little app that reads data from a facebook users status updates. It's been done millions of times before, I'm sure, but is there an API or something? Would I need to signup for some Facebook developers license or anything, or is it as easy as finding the API, and then simply coding to it?
I'd like to simply get friends Status Updates via my login... seems easy enough. :)
The Facebook Developer links posted above are good, but it might be useful to look at some examples.
The Facebook C# SDK, found here: http://facebooksdk.codeplex.com/, has samples in ASP.NET MVC. It's a pretty simple project, so it should be relatively easy to see how things work in practice.
You can create an app at http://developers.facebook.com/
Then, download the sample project, replace the AppId and AppSecret with values from your registered app, and see how it works.
You can start reading here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/
And look in the forum discussions here: http://forum.developers.facebook.net/index.php
This post was helpful to me http://gathadams.com/2007/06/18/how-to-write-a-facebook-application-in-10-minutes/
Also keep in mind this last change made for FB team about Post for canvas http://developers.facebook.com/docs/canvas/post/
Good luck!

Source code to retrieve Google Adsense earnings?

Where to find source code to read google adsense account earnings ? any language welcome especially c#, php.
Update: I still don't have any source code until now that seem to work.
Unfortunately all of the other answers are using either deprecated API or are linking to 404 pages.
Google did release a new management API for AdSense which is well documented:
https://developers.google.com/adsense/management/
Documentation is here It's a very in-depth webservice that allows you not only to get access to reporting, but also create, modify, etc campaigns.
This is an interesting low-tech approach. It's featured on the CURL website. Could be re purposed for your application.
You could use this php library http://code.google.com/p/php-adsense-account-library/
