Need idea how to go about fingerprint access control system in C# - c#-4.0

I am developing membership software with C#, but I need to implement access control and also searching for members with fingerprint technology. Any ideas how I could go about that?

SourceAFIS works well and is C#. I know a Java shop that wrote their client code in C# primarily so they could use it.

How to prevent direct use of third party library/dependency

I'm building a software using SDK provided by third party software. To secure the application that I build, I must set correct values in some attributes in the SDK. I'm thinking of building a wrapper around SDK which would ensure correct properties in the SDK are set. Only challenge with the approach is making sure other developers helping me to build the application would always use the wrapper as an abstraction layer rather than using the SDK directly downloaded from third-party repository.
I was initially thinking of using Software Composition Analysis (SCA) tool. But I couldn't find a SCA tool helps to block direct use of a third-party library instead of using SDK wrapper/abstraction layer.
What is the best way to solve this problem?
Thanks

How do I get a list of ssid from browser?

I need to build a web based application that can list available ssid in the area.
From my understanding, these probably can do what i want
Java applet
Adobe Flash
However, Im not sure whether these can do or not
HTML5/JavaScript
Java Web Start
I'm a .NET developer and I'm not familiar with these web technologies.
Are there any other method to get a list of SSID that i have not mentioned?
Thanks.
You'll never be able to list available SSID's with HTML5, Javascript, or any other strictly web-based technology. That's a very low-level task and won't be natively possible in any browser for security reasons. That being said, you may be able to draw on some technology like Java Applets, ActiveX, or even Silverlight 5 if I remember correctly. I don't know your project requirements, but you're better off creating a native application for this type of feature. If this application is being used by/sold to the general public, you're setting yourself up for a lot of headache by going with Applets/ActiveX/etc.

Convert Objective C project to Xamarin

We have an app written in Objective C. It uses CoreData, RestKit, about 10 viewcontrollers.
We would like to migrate it to Xamarin (so we can target Android and Windows).
I was hoping there was a way to bind the current code to a Xamarin solution and kind of rewrite features step by step within Xamarin (eg: replacing a viewcontroller at a time, and at the end replacing RestKit+CoreData, by SQLite + ServiceStack).
I am aware of the binding to Objective C option that they provide, however, it doesn't look to be the appropriate fit for this (way too complex, probably easier to rewrite the app from scratch).
Is there a way to migrate our current project to Xamarin so we can convert? or do we start from scratch?
Thanks.
Options:
Migrate full project - no;
Automatically create binding for libraries, rewrite business-code, UI-code - yes;
Rewrite from scratch using .Net/Mono classes - yes.
If code size is relatively small, you should rewrite the whole app. Moreover, thus you could have a chance to separate business-logic from UI code and tools libraries (RestKit, CoreData). In perspective, that code will be more reliable and cross-platformish.
This tool can help. It does Obj-c to C# translation (some manual cleanup required):
Automagical
Quite probably, a re-write, from scratch. One thing to keep in mind, if your back-end is .net.. and you are using DTO's.. like with AutoMapper from Entity Framework objects.. you'll be able to re-use those DTO objects on your mobile side with Xamarin. If you are using OData, I'm not sure if this is still a problem, but Xamarin studio wasn't generating OData service clients. So you had to generate them in Visual Studio, then take the generated client code and throw them into your Mobile projects.
sqllite-net is awesome. I've never had any problems with it.
https://github.com/praeclarum/sqlite-net
I currently have a project, with DTO Objects from an Azure WCF service, that I push directly down into SQLLite objects on IOS and Android with Xamarin. I use RestSharp, rather than Service Stack. I should probably go learn the difference.
If you are looking to use SQLCipher from the Component store, to encrypt your sqllite db locally on your device (Good advice to do so), you should be aware that there is an issue in android.. going to 2.2 or 2.3 with SQLCipher. Works for ICS and above though, if I remember right.
Just be careful on your security implementation for allowing clients to connect. I want to say.. don't take too much advice.. and don't take too little either. : )

Difference between CodedUI and UISpy

What is the difference between CodedUI and UISpy? Does both use same mechanism?
I need to implement support for UISPY in my own custom grid control[WinForms] to recognize each cell as like in the MS DataGridView. currently UISPY recognizes my entire control but not individual cell.
Any help would be highly appreciated
I'm not sure how UISpy works but CodedUI uses the UI Automation framework to access the UI components in an app.
Regardless, you might want to look at using something like HawkEye or WinForms Spy as a starting point for doing what you need.
The UI Spy tool is obsolete and no longer available. Developers should use other tools such as Inspect.exe that are available in the Windows Software Development Kit (SDK).

How to access NFC Secure Element in upcoming BB10 handsets and platform?

Since straight Java development isn't going to be supported on BB10 (Am I right?), at least not without using the Android Java Runtime (which I don't want to use), I'd like to know if there will be official support and an official API from RIM for accessing and writing on the Secure Element of the upcoming BB10 handsets. I'm a developer who's considering the BB10 platform for developing an application which will need read/write operations on the Secure Element. Would that be possible? Would I be needing special permissions and/or keys from RIM?
Apparently there's not much documentation on the subject so far.
They have removed the SE on BB10 and left only the UICC...And we feel it's a good thing, as there were loads of issues with accessing the SE of a SIM
After some posting on other forums, I learned that there is indeed an API for accessing the SE in the upcoming BB10 platform. It was included in the BlackBerry 10 Native SDK (Beta 2). So far, it seems it serves my purposes.
Your best bet would be to go to the RIM issue tracker site, you can get access if you make an account at the BlackBerry Jam Zone. Submit an issue under the BlackBerry 10 project making the business case for what you want to do. They may be able to tell you what their plans are, but there is still some mutability in the road map if you can make a strong enough case.
