I'm developing a netflix client on vb.net, and i need it to run silverlight and needed extensions that netflix requires to display the video stream.
how can i change webbrowser from default to another one that works with my needs, and what browser is that?
If you're looking for a different web rendering engine you should try the Gecko web engine. From my experience it is much faster than the traditional IE engine and more compatible with plugins and web content. The engine integrates well into VB.NET applications so using it in your program should work. The engine itself does stream videos from netflix if that's the intent. you can download this rendering engine just from searching it but for convinience I'll put a link to a site where you can find it here.

I'm using SBT SDK on a XPage.
After mastering a few traps at the beginning it works fine.
Livenames are properly displayed.
But now a got another problem.
If you click on a available person, a context menu is displayed, where you can choose 'CHAT' or 'VCARD'.
If I click on CHAT a URL like this ist called:
http://localhost:59449/stwebapi/loggedin?jsonp=stproxy.connect.callback.setAvailable&wait=true&time=1407834968761&fqdn=sametime.lotus.com
I found out that you have to install Sametime Connect Client locally at every computer, because it is providing a small webserver at port 59449.
That's impossible because I want to use Sametime on a public website.
I'm pretty sure that there is another way.
Somebody an idea?
thanks

#user2776693 - There are two ways:
1 - using the Sametime Local Web API
The local web api uses a configurable port (the default is mentioned above), to communicate back and forth from a web site which embeds or calls the configurable port using jsonp, meaning the javascript of the site wraps the sametime calls.
2 - using the Sametime Web Chat/Web Proxy
It means that the Sametime Web Chat is embedded as JavaScript on the page, and loaded using the appropriate JS libraries, and can have some pretty advanced features. There is a demo site off of greenhouse.lotus.com, and you can sign up for an account on that site.
you can download the sdk, and find many examples of using the local web api and web chat.

Is it possible to convert an existing XUL application to a pure web application without a complete rewrite? Are there any existing guides on doing this?
There is an existing project based on XUL / Mozilla Application Framework that I would like to see as a web application. But it seems that with FF4 this would no longer be possible.
You can use XUL Runner if you like to keep it like a desktop app or use the Ample SDK which supports XUL in HTML pages and it does a rendering using HTML and JavaScript.
I've been looking at the Adobe Photoshop JavaScript Scripting documentation, and have only seen the use of WebSockets for remote communications. I need to implement a plugin that communicates with a backend PHP API written in Laravel.
Does the Photoshop JavaScript SDK allow HTTP requests at all?
I use a modified version of the extendables library to allow Indesign to access data from our local webserver. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't work with photoshop. See extendables.org for the library.
ETA: That link doesn't seem to go anywhere at the moment. The library itself is available here: https://github.com/stdbrouw/Extendables
Is there a way to display a web page inside an application done with mono framework. It is a cross platform application, so it would be great if the solution is in mono. It need not be a generic browser, i just need to display the web pages from my own server. The number of pages is too much also it will be updated often, so cannot include it in the app itself.
Any help would be really great. BTW the app will be for most of the mobile platforms, like android and iPhone.
I'm trying to understand how programs like PhoneGap and Adobe Air work, that allow you to 'write once and run anywhere' on mobile platforms. The way I understand it now is that you build your application as a web app using either HTML5, or flash, or I don't know what, and it takes in those files and converts them to the proper types for each mobile OS. Assuming this is correct, what I would like to know is, what the options for developing web apps that are able to be converted into apps are; and what the most popular platforms to use/learn flash, or html5, or JavaScript, or I have no idea what are.
I want to build a web app to deploy across multiple phone platforms, but I don't know where to start. Thanks for the help!
You use tools like PhoneGap to access native device API's through JavaScript. If you don't need access to these API's you can write a HTML5 app and install it using "Add to home screen" etc.
As HTML5 matures, more and more of the device API's are actually directly available through HTML5 (for instance GPS), so depending on what you want to do access it might be in/scheduled to be part of the Device API.
Write once and run anywhere
There are different frameworks that lets you deploy to multiple platforms through the device specific install process. These tools usually work in 2 ways. Run in an embedded browser, or compile to native code.
PhoneGap runs the HTML5 part of your app in an embedded browser. Other tools like MonoTouch actually cross-compiles to native code, so they run on the bare metal.
Cross platform using HTML5
There are plenty of frameworks you can use to make mobile apps with HTML5. These usually help make the app "feel native", and includes abstractions over device specific idioms that differ between the different devices.
Popular frameworks includes Sencha Touch, JQuery Mobile and a bunch of others.
If you want the users to install the app through the AppStore/Market etc. then a solution like PhoneGap is a good option. If you don't care about that you can write your app and add a meta tag like
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
and when you add it to the home screen it'll look just like any other app and run in an embedded browser without the browser window etc. You can add offline capabilities using HTML5 and synch when users go on-line etc. all just using HTML5.
Have a look at the Sencha touch app gallery to see what is possible with this technology.
