I'm building an application in c# that needs to search google for images, pull the first result and display it.
How can I do it?
Thanks,
Tom
There is a (deprecated) Google Image Search API which you might use from your C# code. Here is an example on how to use it.

I have a requirement to generate PDF file in my app. I want to display the student records in PDF with their images. I have google a lot but i am not able find any example with c# & xaml. I have tried these links -

Please help me out.
Apitron offers their Apitron PDF Kit library which works for windows store apps, Xamarin and other platforms. It's paid of course. This blogspost shows how to create a simple PDF form in windows store app. Pretty similar to student record.
Take a look at component one, they have done a lot of usefull components, am testing the PDF render/generator for Windows Store Apps it works very good so far, take a look at the new demo-Trial on their web page...
I am making an app in which I want to create pdfs out of the images I store in the Isolated storage. Many opensource libraries are available for solving the purpose but unfortunately none expresses their comparability with windows phone 8.
then I came across this link
the post explains about writing the pdf file by making the pdf header. But, this only creates a pdf with some text written in it. I, now want to add some images in it. How shall I proceed for the same?
I have found the answer myself. These are the links which would be very much helpful if you are looking to make a pff
with text and images without the usage of opensource libraries.

I'd like to implement the following: in a mobile app (Android, Windows Phone) the user takes a photo, and my app searches for such an image on the web. I was told that Google has something like that. I found a page about Google Image Search, but it is written that it is deprecated. It advises to use Custom Search instead, but I didn't find image search there (only text search).
My question is: does a solution for image searching from a mobile app exist?
google provide api for image search through keyword, you are looking for search through image ? may be this can of any help Google Search by Image API?
if you are looking for search by image tineye api is useful
i need to convert bulk of pdf documents into non-editable format(scanned) some one help me to achieve this using C#.net
Assuming that Chris's comment is correct and you're trying to convert PDF docs to pictures, I'd suggest taking a look at ImageMagick.NET which is a .Net wrapper around ImageMagick which is an open source library for doing things like that.
Never used it myself, but it looks interesting.
In C#, how can I extract the URL's of any images found when performing a search with Google? I'm writing a little app to get the artwork for my ripped cd's. I played around with the Amazon service but found the results I received were erratic. I can't be bothered to learn the whole Amazon API just for this simple little app though, so thought I'd try Google instead.
So far, I've performed the search and got the result page's source, but I'm not sure how to extract the URL's from it. I know I have to use Regex but have no idea what expression to use. All the one's I've found seem to be broken. Any help would be appreciated.
Try using the HTML Agility Pack. It works wonders on scraping content.
It lives here on Codeplex.
I used it to scrape a user ranking list from so.com, and loved it.
It will let you select a node of html and then query subnodes using XSLT.
