SSL LDap search on Windows Phone

Does anyone know of any APIs available for Windows Phone that that will allow me to make an SSL connection to an LDAP server and perform a LDAP query?
I saw MS has System.DirectoryServices APIs, but those are unavailable on the phone. Is there anything else available for me to use?
Thanks

Is there really no other way to do this.
Making a web service is really not an option for me (my app is used by customers to talk to their own backend servers). I found some info about some Novell LDAP APIs, but they seem very old and the only thing I see about SSL binding mentions the need
for Mono.

App not appearing in search result in Windows Phone Store

Hi everyone,
Our app has been published to Windows Phone Store. We can find the app by following the direct link to the app (http://bit.ly/Te6itF), but cannot find it by searching on Windows Phone Store. The app is published to Public
Store and is not hidden.
What can we do to solve this?
Thanks.

Same for me. I released my application almost 10 days ago. It was normal. It was appearing in search result. But
4 days ago I've uploaded a new update for it. Now this is not appearing in search result. I also tried it by
its name and my publisher name. But not. I've not hide it from store, its visible and published. However I'm only able to find this by direct link (http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=63530408-d242-485a-b0da-7d4872f8d4c6)
only. I also can't find it through my another application (by opening application in store and click on more application by this developer). Please help me.

How to uninstall Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator from Visual Studio

Hello, I recently installed the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator for Visual Studio. However, I found out that you need to be running Windows 8/8.1 Pro to deploy the emulator, but my computer is the regular edition of Windows 8.1.
How would I uninstall the emulator?
Thanks for your help.

I recently installed the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator for Visual Studio
What exactly did you install? Visual Studio 2013 (Update 2 and above) already includes 8.1 phone emulators, although there is a separate installer available for updated emulator versions. Open Control Panel >> Programs >> Programs and Features,
and search for "Windows Phone". If the emulator is listed, right-click to uninstall.

Windows Phone Store positioning

So, I've made a slots game
http://www.windowsphone.com/s?appid=3f90739d-6e32-4b5f-8d9a-216104dbc304 , but because it's positioned so far down in the app store, hardly anyone has played it. Page two if you search the windows phone store and it doesn't show up at all if you search
for 'slots' on the phone itself.
I was hoping that, if customers liked my game, then they would give it good reviews and it would climb higher in the charts. But this is not going happen if the game doesn't even show up in search. Even worse, games which aren't actually slots
games rank higher in a search for 'slots', eg 2 Trucks, Jump Car for WP, Bingo Star and 4 in a Row. I'm sure they're all worthy titles, but why are they showing up in a search for slots?
Anyway, any tips for improving my positioning would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I don't think it's possible to have a name for two different apps. When you try to associate your app with the name you have reserved it'll not let you have a name which is being already reserved.
Happy Coding!

Windows Phone and Windows 8 Mail App not sending email from Reply/Forward

I have recently upgraded from Windows 8 to 8.1. After a successful upgrade I configured the Windows 8 Mail app to also sync with Exchange (2010 in house server). On my Windows Phone (Nokia Lumia 800) I have the same account configured.
This resulted in the problem that the Mail App and the phone do not want to send any emails that have been created by reply or forward.
The phone gives the following error:
"We weren't able to send this message, so we've put it in your Drafts folder. Before you try sending it again, you can check to see if the address is correct and that no attachments are too large."
The Mail App give the following error:
"There's a problem with sending messages from [email protected] at the moment. Check with your provider for more info."
If I create a new email there is no problem.
I have searched all over the internet for a solution to this problem, but could not find somebody with exactly the same problem.

I have exactly the same problem, but unfortunately no solution either... I'll be watching this thread, or post a solution if I find one...

SQLite3-WinRT / SQLite3Component for Windows Phone 8.1 (HTML5 & JavaScript)

Dear all
I am a newbie in the developpement for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1.
After a few weeks reading books and watching videos to learn developping Windows Store Apps 8.1 with HTML5 and JavaScript, I have started my very first serious application as a Universal Windows Store App using visual studio 2013 community edition. I would
like to use SQLite for persisiting the data of my application.
I installed the necessary extensions to VS2013 both for windows 8.1 and windows phone 8.1 (SDK + SQLite extension)
I cloned the SQLite3-WinRT projet from GitHub, and, as VS2013 asked it, run the targetting process to upgrade to Windows 8.1.
I successfully installed and tested SQLite3-WinRT using Javascript for the WIndows 8.1 part of my project.
But when i tried to add the SQLite3Component project as a reference to my Windows Phone 8.1 project, VS2013 complained that SQLite3Component project is an invalid reference for a windows phone project... I can understand this as the SQLite3Component project
seems to be a windows 8 only project.
I have been looking for a solution for two days now without success and decided therefore to post my question here: is there a SQLite3Component project targetted for WINdows Phone 8(.1)? If not, what are my alternatives for persisting potentially large amount
of data with advanced search queries locally on a windows phone?
Thank you for any help the comunity could give me.
Regards
François

While not specifically talking about JavaScript/HTML5 this article series outlines how to use SQLite in Universal App projects:
http://blog.tpcware.com/2014/04/universal-app-with-sqlite-part-1/
I have already used it from C# and given that we're talking about WinRT components it should be accessible from WinJS as well. Hope it helps.

Is Cisco VPN posible for Windows Phone 8.1

Hello,
Microsoft released Windows Phone 8.1 on April and it supports VPN connections.
So I would like to ask:
Is Cisco going to release Anyconnect Secure Mobility Client for Windows Phone 8.1?
Maybe someone managed to make clientless connection with ASA 9.1( for example IKEv2 or SSL-VPN) ?
Or should I abandon idea of connecting WP 8.1 with ASA?
Thanks.

Hi aurimas88 ,
Looks like AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 2.5 is supported for windows phone , however W 8.1 mobile has not been tested by Cisco , We cannot guarantee compatibility.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 3.0 Windows Mobile Devices Not Supported
AnyConnect version 3.0 and later do not support Microsoft Windows Mobile or Windows Phone. However, you can continue to use the ASA to deploy the AnyConnect 2.5 or earlier client for Windows Mobile even after loading the AnyConnect 3.0 package files to the ASA for web deployment.
AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client 2.5 Windows Mobile Devices Supported
We designed AnyConnect 2.5 for compatibility with Windows Mobile 6.5, 6.1, 6.0 and 5.0 Professional and Classic for touch-screens only. Users have reported success with most touch-screens running these versions of Windows Mobile. However, to ensure interoperability, we guarantee compatibility only with the devices we test, as follows:
HTC Imagio running Windows Mobile 6.5
HTC Tilt 2 running Windows Mobile 6.5
HTC Touch running Windows Mobile 6.0
HTC TyTN running Windows Mobile 5.0
Samsung Epix running Windows Mobile 6.1
Samsung Omnia Pro 4 running Windows Mobile 6.5
Samsung Omnia running Windows Mobile 6.1
Samsung Saga running Windows Mobile 6.1

Hope this helps

That line is your culprit. Whichever method is calling your code to parse the XML from the feed, wrap it in a try/catch.
In your catch, do a System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(e.Message);
If you're running this from the emulator, check whether your emulator has internet connectivity. If you're running from your phone, check the same.
If all else fails, you can try adding the HttpClient NuGet libraries to your project (This MAY fix the issue if it's not already loaded)

LDAP Search filter Jabber for Android

Hi,
I have this LDAP Filter which only shows me active users:
<BaseFilter>(&(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)(!UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))</BaseFilter>
I have the same line for Jabber for Android, but it doesn't work.
<BDIBaseFilter>(&(objectclass=user)(objectcategory=person)(!UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))</BDIBaseFilter>
I get 0 results for any search on Jabber Andorid. When I delete the "BDI" Line for the filter all together, then I get correct results - with photos and everything.
I also tried a simple filter e.g:
<BDIBaseFilter>(!UserAccountControl:1.2.840.113556.1.4.803:=2))</BDIBaseFilter>
No search results either.
Any ideas how to get Filter for Android working?
Versions:
Jabber for Android: 10.6
CUCM: 9.1.2

I think I found the coresponding messages in the log:

The next question is now: Why is it a bad search filter? And what is the correct one? The same filter works on jabber for windows...

Submit: Great Skype for Windows Phone ideas

We have just launched a new Windows Phone idea board to let you all share and exchange your ideas on how to improve and develop Skype for Windows Phone.
Before you start sharing your ideas, here are some guidelines to help you get started:
Idea Submission Guidelines
Search before posting. Do a quick search and make sure you are not submitting a duplicate. If the idea already exists show your support by giving kudos to the original idea rather than watering down the potential impact across multiple submissions.
Draft your idea. Be as clear as possible, tell us what your idea is, how it would benefit users and why you think we should consider it. That will not only help us to better understand what you want, but we may even be able to solve your problem more quickly another way. Please avoid text speak and keep the idea short and to the point. Ideas are available within a limited number of topic sections of the community as they are not discussion threads.
Currently you can choose one of the following topic labels for your ideas:
Video Messaging
We‘ve just launched Video Messaging on Windows Phone so you can now send video messages to family and friends, even when they’re not online. Let us know what you think of Video Messaging on Windows Phone and any ideas you have for how we can make it better.
Phone Integration
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Contacts
How can we make it easier for you to find friends and family on Skype and add them as a contact? What are your thoughts on how contacts are managed on Skype for Windows Phone? Do you have any recommended improvements?
Calling
Tell us how you would like Skype to be integrated with Windows Phone. Would things be easier if Skype was better integrated with the People Hub? Integrated into the messaging app? Or in the dial pad?
Instant Messaging
Video calling is one of Skype’s most popular features. What do/don’t you like about Video calling on Skype for Windows Phone and do you have any ideas for how we can make video calling even better?
Some things to include:
Start with a clear title
add appropriate label(s)
list features and benefits
Review the ideas of others. Look at other ideas to see what your fellow community members are requesting and feel free to exchange on them in the comments section. While we take into account the numbers of kudos an idea receives, we also consider the amount and quality of member feedback when making our decisions.
Add value. Vote for those items that you like and agree with by giving the idea a kudos. It's really a significant way to recognize someone's effort. We are using votes as a barometer to find out more about what our contributor community thinks is important, so we can factor this into our prioritization process.
Submit a new idea. Adding an idea is just like posting a message on a board. To create an idea, click on the “New Idea” button, located on the left side of the page content tab, and in the left column under the actions heading click “create an idea”. Be sure to enter a clear title and description of your idea so others can decide how they would like to vote. Remember, the more complete your thought, the more likely it is to get noticed! You can use simple HTML, format the text, or add links or images. You can also preview your idea and check your spelling before you post the idea.
Do not be discouraged. Sometimes what seems simple may not be so simple to build. Some ideas take longer than others, and some ideas will not be possible within the scope of what we want to accomplish in the next year or so.
Be respectful. Comply with the Community Guidelines and Skype etiquette.
Disclaimer: Skype may or may not use your comments, ideas, or suggestions. Skype reserves the right to use for any purpose including commercial purposes, comments, ideas, suggestions, code, products or services (“Content”) that are posted on this community without any obligation to compensate the individual or entity that provided the Content.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Idea Board all about?
Idea Board is a new part of the Skype Community, where members can share their ideas about existing products and services. Anyone in the community can see and vote on the ideas you post.
We encourage you to give kudos and comment on submitted ideas as we are more likely to take the top kudoed and most discussed ones into consideration.
How do I navigate the Ideas Board?
Finding your way around the ideas board is a pretty straightforward task, here are some of the things you will see to help you get around.
• New Ideas – The most recent ideas.
• Hot Ideas – The most popular ideas right now.
• Top Ideas – The most kudoed ideas.
The sidebar widgets
In the sidebar you'll find more ways to sort the ideas board, see new and popular ideas and the top rated contributors to the idea board. It's also really easy to view only the ideas with certain status', for instance if you only want to see ideas that are “Accepted”.
How to check if an idea exists already?
Use the search function filtering by the ideas board – or click here (direct link to search function)
What do the votes/kudos mean?
Just as you can give kudos in the community boards and blogs, you can vote for ideas you like on the Idea Board. Ideas with high vote totals are more likely to be recognized and accepted by the teams at Skype who develop our products and services. You can also leave comments on ideas, but remember to be kind!
What do the different idea statuses mean?
We strive to review submitted ideas on a biweekly/monthly cycle. Each idea will go through a life cycle that will be assigned statuses at each milestone. The statuses are explained here:
New Idea - Sparkly new idea, submitted by you, and ready to be vetted by the community.
Comments Requested - Items set as Comments Requested will be open to the community for feedback and votes.
Under consideration - Idea has been forwarded to appropriate business team who is determining feasibility.
More information needed - More information is needed before our Product Management team can take this forward, please review the comments left by the team.
Duplicate - Ideas in this status have already been submitted in some form or another. We will link these items over to the other idea so you can review the status or track the progress there.
Already exists - This is available in the product.
Future possibility - Idea is a good one but not something we can include in a near-term product or software release.
Accepted - Idea has been accepted and has been taken forward for implementation, check back soon for updates.
Not right now - We like the idea but just not for right now, we will revisit it in the future.
Implemented - You asked for it, we did it!
My idea has been accepted. How long will it take to be implemented?
Sadly, we will not be able to provide dates for the implementation of any accepted ideas within the community due to the number of factors involved. Please be patient and let us make sure it is completely ready before we make it available.
How will I know if an idea has been implemented?
You can track the status of your ideas as your ideas are sent to the people here at Skype who can make them happen and you will see the status of your idea is updated. We will be telling you if the idea is something we are working on now or would like to do in the future, or if it’s something that is not feasible for us at this time. To ensure you don’t miss any updates select “Subscribe” from the “Idea Options” menu when viewing your idea.
What ideas have been implemented so far?
You can check "Accepted and Implemented ideas" topic here.
Can I edit or delete my ideas comments?
No, you can't. Be sure to check your spelling and preview your comment before you post it; you can't edit a comment once it's posted.
Who and how often moderates/ manages the ideas board?
The community team is monitoring the board on the daily basis and product managers will come in on a monthly basis to update statuses of the ideas and post their comments.
If Skype decides not to pursue my idea, will you tell me why?
We do not always provide the reasons for our decisions regarding ideas submitted for review but will strive to provide an explanation where possible.
I have an idea to improve the Windows Phone software itself?
Microsoft has set up a Windows Phone Feature Suggestion Box for exactly that purpose. Share your idea here: http://windowsphone.uservoice.com
If I am not comfortable submitting my idea over the Internet, is there another way I can do so?
No.

I would really appreciate if you guys work on the feature “ custom backgrounds for chat notifications”.If users will be able to choose any image of their liking in the custom background feature if would add value. Currently some of the chat messengers provide this facility to the users which makes interesting to the users while improving user friendliness and satisfaction. Options that would include areTake a photoChoose from albumsSearch from webDeleteThat appears to be a reasonably robust selection. In search, a user can use a built in engine to pull up images based on search and then select it as it their choice. Once you chose an image, it will be asked to confirm and ‘set’ as the universal chat window for all contacts.

Parsing Out Data From Flat File With Inconsistent Delimiters in SQL Server
Durval Ramos: "Very useful. Good job !"
Ed Price: "Fantastic job on the code formatting, in-depth descriptions, and robust use of images!"
AM: "Thanks for presenting multiple approaches to solve the problem. It would be good to see a second part describing the format file."
DRC: "This is a good article which provides different ways to import the data to SQL, But this article needs some modifications. Suggestions: • It would be helpful, if mentioned on which version of SQL server and Visual studio scenario
was tested • We might encounter errors while using the format files, for example we get the below error if the format file doesn’t have blank space (character ) at the end of each line Msg 4862, Level 16, State 1, Line 10 Cannot bulk load because the file
"C:\temp\good.fmt" could not be read. Operating system error code (null). • So it will be helpful if you can provide a sample format file and TSQL script along with the possible output which can be tested and compared. • The sample query and the
format file is not yielding the right output. Screenshots shown in the article has invalid values (for example ID coulmn has invalid values). Format file need to be fixed to get the right data. • The format file under section “Files With Text Qualifiers” is
also invalid and the data is not imported properly. • Implementation of import using the SSIS package needs more details about how to make the delimiter consistent, Attaching a sample package would be helpful. "

Out Of Memory Exception While Loading Images in Windows Phone 8 Silverlight App?

Hi,
I am developing a windows phone 8 silver light app , I am loading high resolution images from web through image control , After loading 2-3 images I am getting outof memory exception ,
I am unable to catch this , and I am unable to break this exception , Can anyone tell me how to handle this exception,
I am searching solution for this from last 15 days but I am unable to find solution,
I tried by setting the bitmap image source to null by doing this also I am getting exception, I tried by using gc.collect() also ..
First I am loading list of images in listbox with lowres of size 100X100 , in selection change event I am changing the image source ,
My image control code is
<Canvas Width="480" Height="720">
<Image Width="480" x:Name="MyImage" Height="720" Stretch="Uniform" >
<Image.Source>
<BitmapImage x:Name="MyImage1"/>
</Image.Source>
<toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
<toolkit:GestureListener Flick="GestureListener_Flick_1"
PinchStarted="OnPinchStarted" DragDelta="GestureListener_DragDelta"
PinchDelta="OnPinchDelta"/>
</toolkit:GestureService.GestureListener>
<Image.RenderTransform>
<CompositeTransform x:Name="myTransform"
ScaleX="1" ScaleY="1"
TranslateX="0" TranslateY="0"/>
</Image.RenderTransform>
</Image>
</Canvas>
My listbox selection changed code is
GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();
Classes.PgaeInfo ob = listpages.SelectedItem as Classes.PgaeInfo;
progressLoad.Visibility = Visibility.Visible;
LayoutRoot.Opacity = 0.8;
LayoutRoot.IsHitTestVisible = false;
StackPanel st = sender as StackPanel;
index = ob.pId - 1;
JArray jsonArray = JArray.Parse(json);
JToken jsonArray_Item = jsonArray[index];
string sour = "xxx.xxx.xxx.jpeg" (only one image for sample)
img.Source = null;
DisposeImage(bm);
img.Source = new BitmapImage(new Uri(sour));
MyImage1.UriSource = null;
MyImage1.DecodePixelHeight = (int)img.Height;
MyImage1.DecodePixelWidth = (int)img.Width;
MyImage1.UriSource = new Uri(sour);
Any help..
thanks..
Suresh.M

Hello Suresh,
Are you loading multiple images at once on one page? If so this is an expected behavior. There is limited memory available per app so it's important to not load too large or too many photos at once in your app.
If possible you can try to convert your Windows Phone 8 to Window Phone 8.1 so as to take advantage of the FlipView control which is built to handle photo gallery-like applications.
Also you can always run the Windows Phone Application Analysis tool to check on the application performance and memory usage. This will help you test and fine tune your app accordingly.
Let me know if this helps.
