I want to get some of the netmeeting functionality in my C# program. Mainly I want to be able to call a H.323 teleconference system by IP. Google turns up mention of Netmeeting SDK but no download link and it seems that Microsoft has discontinued Netmeeting altogether.
Can someone give a suggestion or a pointer on the best way to go about doing something like this?
Netmeeting has been retired and replaced by Live Meeting, Office Communicator, and the Office Communications Server. Which is a Very Good Thing, as they by are orders of magnitude more advanced and modern communication tools than Netmeeting (not to mention just plain more reliable). They are also easily interoperable with .NET. The Live Meeting Service Developer Portal is a good place to start.

this is my first thread here and I am trying to be as accurate as possible. Furthermore I am not a native speaker so I am sorry in advance for any spelling or grammar mistakes.
I've just started working on a project to automate the parameterization of Siemens drives with the software Siemens Starter v4.4.
The project description is to write some VB-Scripts to set values in the Starter software and to have an html frontend for the user.
The problem is, that my company is always using the most recent Internet Explorer version. But unfortunetly VBS can only interface correctly with IE10 or lower.
Therefore I am wondering if it is possible to have a standalone IE10 portable installation next to the required scripts. The problem as far as I know is to access the objects used for the communication of IE and VBS.
Of course I am open for any other method of creating a simple frontend.
I am not a professional developer and have to teach myself. Despite of that I have some programming experience in C, C++, C# and VBS. Therefore I would appreciate a solution where I can find some online help and documentation for.
Thank you in advance.
I am trying to see whether its possible to read the barcode in WPF Applications without using any 3rd party tools. We built an application using WPF and they are not willing to buy any third party devices to read the barcode. Is there any other way to read the barcode data in WPF Applications using .NET APIS?
Note: I seen examples in .NET, but most of them using Barcode reader tool. I have seen examples in Android ZXing library does that with out any tools like barcode reader or scanner.
Any ideas or thoughts is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ramesh
In order to shorten the discussion in comments and possibly help other people with similar problem, I will summarize it here.
It is not clear to me whether the real question you wanted to ask is "does .NET provide barcode reader class". If so, the answer is no.
Now, since WPF application is just a normal .NET application, for sure it is possible to implement barcode reading without 3rd party libraries. All the algorithms are public, there is plenty of open source implementation which can serve as reference, and .NET provides all you need to talk to the peripherals, acquire the image and analyze it. You "just" need to code it.
E.g. there is a C# port of ZXing, so you can take a look (though it looks like automatic translation from Java, so I wouldn't expect much idiomatic C# in there).
You also mention that your customers "are not willing to buy any third party devices". I am not sure if 'devices' was meant to read 'libraries'. If so, there are open source libraries which they (or you) don't have to pay, and commercial components usually provide royalty free licenses (e.g. the first one that google showed), which means that only you have to pay the development license, but your customer doesn't even know about it.
I've seen software products that interface with windows explorer for sharing cloud drives, one was for using gmail as a drive. Is there any documentation on what libraries etcetera are used to accomplish this task?
I'm not looking to use Gmail (specifically)
I'm more concerned about
how to access the windows-explorer interface for showing items that
are not on a real disk.
You'll need to create a Windows shell extension.
This article looks promising - although quite old.
However, as stated in that article, you are discouraged to build a shell extension with managed code.
You should download open-source software such as gDisk to see how they are doing it. Or you can see how it is done in Firefox using Gspace. Here are some general guidelines for developing such applications:
You need some way to distinguish files from email (labels, subject line, etc).
You need an interface to login to the GMail website and cache those credentials.
You need an interface to send an email to yourself.
Finally, you need a way to access those "files".
AppHub's reporting tools are very lacking right now (at least for WP7 apps, which is what I'm publishing), I can't see a chart that clearly let me compare the 3 apps I have, I can't see the actual net revenue, I can't easily see in which country the apps are selling more.
Any way to go around this?
Have anyone written a script or Excel macro to provide more info from the data I can grab on the site?
Thank's
Marco
You might try www.mopapp.com
It integrates with AppHub/WP7 Marketplace, as well as with many other app stores and platforms (iTunes, Android Market, RIM App World, Amazon Appstore, GetJar, Handango, ...)
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.
