I am tasked with writing an application to connect to the DoubleClick DART API and download ad creatives. The API is currently Java only, but they are working on (eventually) releasing a SOAP version. As a C# developer, I'd like to write the application in C# and access the Java API, until the SOAP API is available. Can I do this? I...
The java.lang.System class defines a number of well-known properties. For example, you can obtain the JVM's temporary directory by looking up the "java.io.tmpdir" property: ... = System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir"); What I don't understand is why these properties aren't defined as constants (e.g. in the java.lang.System class). This...
Namely, does the Facebook API make this possible? I'd like to leave my news feed intact, but remove posts that meet some criteria for things I don't want to see (e.g., don't show me anything that sounds like Dick Cheney might have said it). Does the Facebook API allow apps to customize a user's normal news feed? I spent a few minutes ...

I want to count the no. of pages that would be produced if I printed out an OpenOffice.org document. I can already do it for ODT files using the following code: public short getPageCount() { XModel model = (XModel) UnoRuntime.queryInterface(XModel.class, getDocument()); XTextViewCursorSupplier s...
Hi! I'm currently writing a web software which is also going to be used by Client desktops via an API. The problem I'm facing right now is: Should I implement every action of adding/updating/deleting objects in the application twice? Once as it sits in the normal code and once isolated for the API? Or should I much rather use a system o...
I've learned about Google's (unofficial) suggest API and their search API, which both look really great, but the suggest API doesn't actually suggest navigational completions. On the other hand, in Google Chrome if you start to type for example "apple", it will suggest "www.apple.com/trailers". I know it searches your browsing history, ...
I'm currently trying to use the YouTube API as part of a jQuery plugin and I've run into a bit of a problem. The way the YT api works is that you load the flash player and, when it's ready it will send a call back to a global function called onYouTubePlayerReady(playerId). You can then use that id combined with getElementById(playerId) ...
I think it'd be fun to build a little mini-fantasy baseball game, but after a bit of Googling, I'm getting the impression that there's no easy and reasonably-priced (or free!) way to get that data. Have any of you done something like this? Should I be thinking about screen-scraping? ...
Anyone know how to get x-axis labels to be vertical with google charts API? I need to fit a lot of labels in a small chart. Thanks ...
Hi, does anyone have experience with any APIs/Widgets for previewing music? We're displaying a list of artists and would love to have a little flash widget to preview a song. Amazon MP3 has a flash widget you can build (specify search terms for), but are there any others you'd recommend? Ideally, there'd be a more programmable API. ...
Google announced the Analytics Data Export API some days ago, thereby making it much easier to get analytics data for a site. The API debuted with Java and Javascript clients, but no direct .Net support (other than going straight for the XML). It seems the API is similar to the other Google Data APIs though, and there's a .Net client for...
In this video after approx 35 minutes Krzysztof Cwalina (Micrsoft's .NET Framework Program Manager) talks about distinguishing library, abstraction and primitive types in their design process. Examples of each: Library types are at top layer: Diagnostic.Debug, EventLog Primitive types are at bottom, have minimal interface and suppose...
We have a report generator. Daily, it writes its data into a excel file. For reasons of version controlling and file data safety, we need to alter this file, and commit the changes into a repository. Do you recommend any .net SVN API you've used? ...
I'm working on building intelligence around link propagation, and because I need to deal with many short URL services where a reverse-lookup from an exact URL address is required, I need to be able to resolve multiple approximate versions of the same URL. An example would be a URL like http://www.example.com?ref=affil&hl=en&ct=0...
I want to get show information from myspace artists. One way I could do this is ask an artist to input their myspace URL and I could try to scrape the page. What I would really like to do is ask the artist for their myspace credentials and use the myspace api to get their show data. I cannot find how to do this on the myspace develop...
Hi In my VB6.0 days I used tons of windows API. So I got the idea that all the API methods that I declared are pretty much procedure based - or it has a procedure based entry point. My question : I have written some code in C# which I need to access from VB6.0. Is it possible to compile my C# code into a DLL and access that C# DLL fro...
Yesterday I was for the fist time try google maps API, and I was generate API key for one of my public domains. Maybe I made a mistake, because I was test that key on my localhost and that was work fine, but when I try to publish that on my website I got the javascript alert which said that my API key is not valid for that domain, but I ...
So, I'm looking at building a brand new REST WS API for my application. I've done my homework on the technical side and feel fairly confident about setting up paths/to/resources.andTheirRepresentations. However, does any one have any suggestions on good resources for processes to develop what those paths should be? What methods should be...

My WSDL is at: http://www.installittoday.com/api/server.php?wsdl I'm trying to load it simply with: $client = new SoapClient('http://www.installittoday.com/api/server.php?wsdl'); but I get back the error: Warning: Soap...
