c# add page to onenote from template

New to OneNote development. I have an app that I want to add a new page based on the template that is the default in this section of my notebook.
I want to take some text from a textbox and name the generated new page to that text. I don't need to do anything else with the page from the app Any ideas would be much appreciated.

You can use the Onenote API to programmatically recall the template page's content as html See http://dev.onenote.com/docs#/reference/get-pages/v10menotespagesidcontentincludeids on how to do this.
Once you have the template's html, you can make the title tag with the title you get from your web form . eg: my title and make a POST request to the section. See http://dev.onenote.com/docs#/reference/post-pages/v10menotessectionsidpages
That should take care of it.

Getting images and description of a webpage using its link in ASP.Net

hi i am making a website in asp.net which is like social netwroking. users shares their updates and views. i am able to complete all modules but now stucked at a requirement.
i want to get images (not screenshot of page) and description from webpage link, when entered by user into the update status bar. just like facebook do. when we enter some link, it gets its thumbnail images and also some desription of that page.
can someone give me direction how can this be done in asp.net. is there some pluggin or code available..
thanks in advance

You need to:
Download the webpage
var html = new System.Net.WebClient().DownloadString(url);
Parse it as HTML document, or just use Regex to find all image tags. Have a look at this answer for details.
To read meta description - again already answered here.
You could also have a look at Html Agility Pack.

You can generate a preview thumbnail image of a web page using the link for the page and get meta description.
This previous post and this code could be helpful:
System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser web = new System.Windows.Forms.WebBrowser();
web.ScrollBarsEnabled = false;
web.ScriptErrorsSuppressed = true;
web.Navigate("http://www.your_url.com/with_params");
while (web.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
Application.DoEvents();
//this is where we start search the DOM for our meta information and extract the content attribute into a usable string.
String meta = (web.Document.GetElementsByTagName("meta")[0]).GetAttribute("content");
System.Console.WriteLine("Meta Value is {0}", meta);

Web Browser control click

I am using Web Browser control in my project and i open a web that have file chooser object.
Now i want to inject programmatically a path to a file in this file chooser object .
I tried to get the HtmlElement ,but i not found in the source code the element Id.
Edit:
In the web there is "Browse..." button that open a file chooser,and then the file path is show in little text filed, and i want to inject the file path my self to the text field.

First.
establish a name, id or class for the element you want to change the value of. There are a number of ways of doing this. I would use firebug for firefox, or IE developer toolbar, or just view the source of the page and establish what the name/Id of the field is. Now if that field does not have a Name or an ID that you can use you might be able to get the containing element and iterate through the Child elements n times until you get the element you want.
For my embedded browser app I did the following in c#:-
// webBrowser is the name of the embedded IE browser in your app
var htmlDocument = webBrowser.Document;
if(htmlDocment!=null)
{
var field = htmlDocument.GetElementById("...the id...");
if(field!=null)
{
field.SetAttribute("value","...yourfilenamepathonyourmachine...");
}
// Now you would need to establish the ID of the submit element and click that
var submitButton = htmlDocument.GetElementById("...submit button...");
if(submitButton!=null)
{
submitButton.InvokeMember("Click");
}
// your code to loop?
}
So do you have the HTML of the page in question? that might help and a better answer can be given

Opening a browser and filling in some data

i want to know how i can open a browser to a specific web page and then fill out some of the content of the boxes on that page.
My idea is for someone to be able to order a particular item from our internal ordering system. The barcodes for these items are what will populate the fields on the page i want to open.
I no i can open a new instance of ie using Process.Start("IEXPLORE.EXE", url); howver how do i get a handle on that exact ie instance window so i can begin to add the required data to the fields?
Is this even possible?
Thanks very much

WatiN should help with this. I've generally used it for acceptance testing of web apps, but the principle is the same. Open a browser instance, reference stuff in the DOM, manipulate form elements, etc.

In addition to WatiN (as was suggested in another answer), you might consider a load testing package like Web Performance Load Tester. They have a free version that lets you run up to 10 virtual users at a time, which will perform scripted actions.
Another option would be to use a standard WebBrowser object to load your website. The WebBrowser object allows you to access and alter certain web parts. Below is sample code that automatically searches Bing:
private void LoadPage()
{
WebBrowser webBrowser1 = new WebBrowser();
webBrowser1.Navigate("http://www.bing.com");
//Wait for document to load...
while (webBrowser1.ReadyState != WebBrowserReadyState.Complete)
{
Application.DoEvents();
}
//Set the text of the search input
HtmlElement txtTextField = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("sb_form_q");
txtTextField.InnerText = "My test text";
//Perform a click on the search button
HtmlElement btnSubmit = webBrowser1.Document.GetElementById("sb_form_go");
btnSubmit.InvokeMember("click");
}

ASP.Net Hyperlink navigation URL not including server name

This might be a ridiculously easy question, but it has me stumped. I have a web form where I'm trying to create a hyperlink in the code behind to a file server share, e.g. file://myServer/Shared/, but when the page is rendered, the link doesn't include the server name, i.e. file:///Shared/. I don't know why this happens. Any help or insight is appreciated.
UPDATE:
Sure, here is the snippet where the link is being set.
//The link is embedded in a table
HyperLink link = (HyperLink)e.Row.Cells[1].Controls[0];
link.NavigateUrl = #"file://myServer/Shared/";
As a test, I assigned the link to a string value and the link prints the expected url.
string foo = link.NavigateUrl;
//Displays this
"file://myServer/Shared/"
I don't know why this doesn't appear when the link is rendered in the final page.
UPDATE 2:
Ok, so I know I have to set the absolute path in the code-behind, I thought that's what I was doing, but it still won't render correctly.
UPDATE 3:
I followed pjacobs suggestion about setting the test property and it was actually a step in the right direction. I have the following:
link.Text = "link text";
Now the link gets rendered as follows: file:///myServer/Shared. I'm almost there except it gives the extra '/' in front of the server name. I'll keep playing with it, this seems like it should be so simple, I don't understand why ASP.Net renders the URL differently.

You have to set the Text property of the HyperLink... link.Text = "whatever"

Are the resources inside the project? If so:
you need to use ResolveUrl to resolve the "web location" of the resource.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.ui.control.resolveurl.aspx
if you're using an asp.net control you shouldn't need to use the resolve url, but you need to refer to the location of the file relative to the path of the project.
If not:
Did you give the proper read account to ASP.NET process?
Use a virtual directory?
