Does anyone know how to properly authenticate an account using OAuth 2.0 and then use that auth token to access the user's YouTube account? At the end of http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_oauth2.html it says The Google Data client libraries that support the YouTube Data API do not currently support OAuth 2.0. However, a newer set of Google API client libraries, which do not support the YouTube Data API, do provide OAuth 2.0 support. As such, it is an option to use these newer libraries, which are listed below, for their OAuth 2.0 capabilities and then force the

This question already has answers here : Closed 9 years ago . Possible Duplicates: What does WPF still have to offer over Silverlight 4? Why change from WPF to Silverlight 4 I'm working on a WPF application. We considered using Silverlight instead of WPF, but decided we want a full blown desktop application with the whole unique desktop application feeling and advantages that gives. However, starting today there has been a lot of buzz out there about Silverlight 4 being announced at PDC09, and people stating that there aren't many arguments left to choose WPF over Silverlight (4). So; what's

We're planning on creating a feedreader as a windows desktop- and iPad application . As we want to be able to show Websites AND to run (our own) JavaScript in this application, we thought about delivering the application as HTML/CSS/JavaScript, just wrapped by some .NET control or a Cocoa Touch webbrowser component. So the task at hand is to find out which framework to use to create the HTML/CSS/JS files to embed in the application. For the development of the HTML/CSS/JavaScript we would be happy to use Vaadin, GWT, or some other framework, as we're a lot better with Java than with JS. We

Is it possible to create Windows desktop applications in JavaScript? I am aware of HTA (HTML Application) programs, but was wondering if there were a newer .NET solution where I could make use of the DLL libraries included with Visual Studio. Latest .NET version doesn't have such feature, but you've options to do it: a) A WebBrowserObject in a WPF or Windows Forms application (it'll be an embedded Internet Explorer). b) Opera Widgets, which is a Opera browser-based presentation engine which lets you implement desktop applications with standard Web technologies and it follows the W3C widgets

I'm looking into RTL support for a proprietary UI framework (for a desktop app), and I'm wondering: are there guidelines as to how the widget rendering has to change? I'm looking for a list of things like: checkbox labels are on the left of the checkbox, and right-aligned toolbar buttons flow from right to left vertical sliders are on the left sice window decoration ??? ... Generally layout should be mirrored that is horizontally flipped. Apart from controls you already mentioned, obviously radio buttons, combo boxes (aka drop down menus), spins (or up and downs, depending on the terminology)

I'm struggling with real-world use of JPA (Hibernate, EclipseLink, etc) in a Swing desktop application. JPA seems like a great idea, but relies on lazy loading for efficiency. Lazy loading requires the entity manager exist for the lifetime of the entity beans, and offers no control over what thread is used for loading or any way to do the loading in the background while the EDT gets on with other things. Accessing a property that happens to be lazily loaded on the EDT will block your app's UI on database access, without even the opportunity to set a busy cursor. If the app is running on wifi
