I am searching for good book to learn asp.net can any body suggest me good site to download asp.net ebook - Eran Sandler

Begining ASP.NET 2.0 with C# is a good starter book for someone who is new to web programming. - Eran Sandler

The direct message API wasn't dropped from the Yedda.Twitter library. I didn't exist when we originally wrote it. You can get the most up-to-date code of the Yedda Twitter API wrapper here. I would, however, recommend that you stop using this Twitter API (the one that takes a username and password) and start using the OAuth based API. It is much more secure for your end users as well as provides the right way of using an API on behalf of a user. I would suggest that you move to use TweetSharp which is a C# library that uses the OAuth API of Twitter. - Eran Sandler

Why was the Direct Message API dropped from the Yedda.Twitter library? I am new to twitter dev, so please bear with me, thx - Eran Sandler

I've always wondered why email technology doesn't offer by default essential features as notification on received messages? There are services made exactly to that purpose (the so called "email return receipt") but then, is it that difficult to produce simple solutions such as a special icon appearing next to each sent message to signify that it has been received/ opened  ? - Eran Sandler

Where would you like to be notified when an Email comes? There are a lot of ways to notify you like sending a text message to your phone or (if you use a smart phone) get a notification in the phone that there is new mail for you. For text messages, there are services that provides that since it does involve some money because the cellular providers don't give free access for anyone to send text messages. There are various client software for your computer which will alert you of new Emails (if you have Google Talk installed, for example, it will send you notifications when you have a new Email in your Gmail box). Regarding getting a notification when a message that you sent was read by the recipient. There is a standard for that, but, unfortunately, not all Email providers implement it so if your Email client do provide the ability to request a notification when an Email was read, you might not get it if the other side doesn't respect that request (either by selecting to not send... - Eran Sandler

Do you want to know the current size of the connection pool or do you want to be able to specify minimum and maximum sizes? If you want to specify minimum and maximum sizes, you can add the following parameters to the connection string: MinPoolSize=X   or MaxPoolSize=Y if X > 1 that's the amount of connections that will be initialized when the connection pool is created. The default maxpoolsize is 100. - Eran Sandler

How do you use the Yedda Wrapper to follow someone on twitter? - Eran Sandler

The Yedda Twitter API wrapper allows you to call the "Follow" method, so if you have a certain user's credentials you can use these credentials to make that user follow another user. Mind you that the Yedda Twitter Library uses the old auhtnetication method for Twitter which is unsecure since it requires you to get a user's username and password. The new API uses the OAuth standard which is much more secure since it does not require the user to turn over any details that may tell his/her password. - Eran Sandler

Are you referring to the Yedda Twitter API wrapper? If so, the error you got was due to insufficient disk space in the device you are trying to copy the DLL into. Are you getting any other errors? - Eran Sandler

how to use type in csharp reflection - Eran Sandler

There is a great deal of documentation on the "Type" object in .NET. For every instance of an object you have you can simply call the "GetType()" function to get the Type object of that instance (even for simple types like int, string, etc). When you get the "Type" object you can look at the methods and properties a certain object has as well as the interfaces it implements and traverse its inheritence tree. Check out this quick tutorial on how to use the "Type" object. - Eran Sandler

I think Microsoft didn't invest enough in promoting Live's QnA. They also had lots of other issues with the Live brand and eventually I think it took more resources from their Live team than the benefits it generated. Other than speculating (or if you have some contacts in the QnA team) it will remain yet another Internet mystery :-) - Eran Sandler

Live's QnA (http://qna.live.com) is closed now. (Though http://answers.microsoft.com emrged as a microsoft support only platform.)What do you think about this? What was the underlying reason on your opinion? - Eran Sandler

How could Yedda benefit from integration with the upcoming Google Wave? For example I think the "playback" feature would be cool for following the answers on a thread. What are your ideas? - Eran Sandler

drabsv, I agree with you that the playback feature might be really cool for that. Google Wave is still early on in its life. We are watching it and we will look at ways we can integrate with it.   Thanks for your suggestion! - Eran Sandler

RSS feed on the search results for both "Full text" and "Tags only" (just as Yahoo and Bing have RSS on results). - Eran Sandler

We do have RSS feeds on Tags but you have to be a "recent" sort, instead of the default "relevancy" since in RSS it makes a bit more sense (at least to us) to have things based on their creation time so that if you monitor a tag search of "Pets" you'll always get new questions asked on it. If you'll go to http://yedda.com/questio... you'll see the tag search for pets. If you'll go to http://feeds.yedda.com/questio... you'll get the feed for that same tag search (you could also simply change to recently asked sort and if you use FireFox/Internet Explorer/Opera that recognized feeds on a page you'll see the feed. Regarding full text search feeds, we will look into that. - Eran Sandler

hi all first question to the world... :) looking for method to convert array of integers to one integer (e.g array(1,2,3) to 123) I'm not interested in certain language code, just general way to perform such task. thanks - Eran Sandler

Loop on the array and for each number calculate what is its position in the number. Than, raise that number in the power of 10 and multiply it by the number in the array. An example in pseudo code would look like this: a = (1,2,3) number = 0 for i=0; i < length(a); i++ number = number + (a[i] * (10^length(a)-i-1)) (10^2 is 10 to the power of 2) - Eran Sandler

I am trying to find the site to download AIM 6.0   where do I go to find it - Eran Sandler

Do you need AIM 6.0 specifically or can you use the newest version, AIM 6.9? If you want the newest version you can download it from: http://www.aim.com - Eran Sandler

Can you handle a hosted solution or something that doesn't run inside your corporate network? I've heard nice things about Cogenz which have both hosted and on-site systems. - Eran Sandler

Is enterprise bookmarking getting any traction? Is anyone out there using it? Am doing some research for my company. The best platform out there seems to be Jumper 2.0. Is anyone familiar with it? - Eran Sandler

how do i consumeYedda Twitter C# Library in my page - Eran Sandler

It depends on what you want to do. Do you want to create an ASP.NET application that accesses Twitter? If that is the case you have two options: Take the code, compile it to a DLL and reference it from your solution. Take the .cs file itself and add it to your solution's App_Code folder. That way you'll be able to access it from throughout your ASP.NET application - Eran Sandler
