Using agsXMPP , can it send images? - c#

I found this lib here
http://www.ag-software.de/agsxmpp-sdk/
hacked on this example here:
http://www.dotnetcurry.com/ShowArticle.aspx?ID=346
It works pretty well actually but I am wondering if one could rig up a message thats an image that would show up in the others (google talk client) or some other client for display? I poked around on the web, couldn't figure out definitively if this is possible...their site says the api supports XML-RPC, could that do it?
Just want to know im not going down a dead end for this functionality...if XMPP jabber even supports it.

This library seems not to support XEP 0231, the specification that "defines an XMPP protocol extension for including or referring to small bits of binary data in an XML stanza."

How to read all Skype contacts and messages without using Skype API?

I need to find a way to read all contacts and chat messages from Skype without API.
By Microsoft they will not support the Skype API any more. This is why I need it.
In the C:\Documents and Settings**username**\Application Data\Skype there are some files but need to parse them and not sure how if it is the right approach.
Of course the chat messages are always synchronized from the cloud. I need at least the messages saved on the disk.
According to Ilya Ivaonv Skype saves all the data in the SQLLite main.db file situated in %AppData%\Skype folder.
I recommend two ways to do this:
A. Easiest way is to use Skyperious. Available for Windows, Linux and Mac. You can do all this
This is the search function:
And here is sample output from an export:
B. The harder, but naturally more flexible way, is to install a SQLite Browser, such as this one, and export the messages yourself. You can see some information on how to do that by looking at this article, or you could also search for other similar articles (AlexS' answer also provides clues). You will need some experience with SQL to use this option.

I need to find a good BSD Licensed C# SIP Softphone

I currently have written an API to a SIP phone system, and would like to integrate a full on SIP softphone into what I already have.
I'm looking to integrate an open source softphone that:
includes a full featured SIP stack
is written in C#, or easily integrable into a C# application
is BSD or similarly licensed
exposes basic features (dialing, transferring, holding, etc) in a fairly high level way (i.e. it would be easy to just write a UI for it and viola I have a custom softphone)
My goal is to make a proof of concept softphone quickly to be able to demo. I'd take a completely built softphone that was BSD if I could just rewrite the C# front end.
Thanks and I look forward to the invariably useful feedback.
As far as I know there isn't an open source C# softphone out there. My own SIP stack is C# and open source but it's used for a SIP application server and is missing chunks of functionality needed for a softphone such as an RTP implementation, codecs, audio device interop etc.
The closest thing I know of that may suit your needs is sipek voip (I'm pretty sure that used to be called pjsip.net) which is a C# wrapper on the pjsip open source SIP and media libraries which are themselves written in C and licensed under GPL; so pjsip doesn't meet your licensing requirement even if you were prepared to use the wrapper library.
The most efficient path for you may be to look around the existing softphones out there and find one that offers skinning services. IN this question which is similar to yours it sounds like the developer is using zoiper. I know counterpath also offer skinning but it's not cheap. Of course if you've got a few months of developer resources sitting idle I'm sure you could build on my or soeon
We are using the mizu webphone. It is not written in C# but it says that it is cross platform so i think that you should be able to use it with C# as well (we are using it from ASP .NET)

Uploading a file from a C# desktop application to a PHP script?

I am looking to create a desktop application in C# which :
Allows the user to select a file / multiple files / folder containing files from his computer.
Upload the files selected to a PHP script (which is already equipped to handle file uploads using the $_FILES array.)
I'm a PHP developer and have never coded a single line of .NET before. So, you can assume I have no experience with .NET whatsoever.
I have looked this up online and all I seem to come up with are ASP.NET server side upload controls which i do not want. I'm looking for a client side solution. Also, will i have to make any changes in my PHP script ? The script already handles uploads from an HTML multipart form.
If anyone can help me point in the right direction of where to look, what C# controls are available which can help me create the application I need, I would really appreciate it.
The first, and simplest, way to go about this is to use any of the WebClient's UploadFile methods.
Here's some info an an example;
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/36s52zhs.aspx
I have a feeling that this will not be enough for you, since you want to upload multiple files in a single request. The WebClient class can be used to manually build a http multipart request, which is probably your best bet.
It's a bit much to explain how to achieve this here on SO, but there are good guides out there.
Here are a couple of very to-the-point articles
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/uploadfileex.aspx
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/multipart_request_C_.aspx
And if you're interested in the details, or better OO design, here's an alternative (a bit harder to follow if you're not experienced with C#)
http://ferozedaud.blogspot.com/2010/03/multipart-form-upload-helper.html
I think both articles should give you enough info to get started.

Question on Speech Recognition classes in .NET

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.

Compact Framework - OpenNetCf.Net FTP Samples?

I am trying to get the OpenNetCF.Net FTP Components working with my PDA application. I am struggling to get it doing any more than connecting to the server and wondered if anyone knew of any sample code I could use to learn how to use it with?
I need to be able to download and upload files, as well as determining the download size of any files that I wish to download.
Thanks in advance.
I don't like the classes in the OpenNETCF.Net.FTP namespace (the ones in the Smart Device Framework). They're based on streams just like the full framework version (which is why we did them that way) but I find usage to be confusing (though any desktop FTP sample should work as a basis). I wrote a complete FTP set of classes from the RFC but with an object model that I find far more intuitive that is in the OpenNETCF Community Forums. Comes with full source.
This looks like the answer:
