usign Skype from .NET

[George Ter-Saakov]

Had anyone tried to automate Skype from ASP.NET?
I need to implement Phone activation from my ASP.NET web site.

So after user had created account, robot calls him and asks to push "1" if
yes and 0 if "No". So naturally I thought about Skype.
Is it doable? Or may be someone knows other way to do it?

PS: I know that I will need to pay for the actual calls and it's ok.

Thanks
George.

I generally like Google for these types of question. :-)

Re: usign Skype from .NET

I asked if it's doable or not before I start to research how to do it.
I kind of hoped to see an answers like "Yes, this type of application is
doable with Skype" (or some other service)
I would obviously have to dig in to their documentation
https://developer.skype.com/ once I start programming

I did search codeproject myself...
All three project there do not do voice phone calls over Skype. And not even
related to Skype much.
Also I did Google....

re:

!And not even related to Skype much.

The first link I posted for you has this list of things it does :

1. Make a Skype call via Skype.
2. Request contact information.
3. Start a chat.
4. Send a file via Skype.
5. Add a contact.
6. Make a Skype Out Call.

Re: usign Skype from .NET

Are you talking about this

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/SkypeSample.aspx

Did you at least looked at the article?????

It does not do it at all... All it does provides a link on a page in format
<A href="skype://action"to initiate a call by clicking on that link. you
can not controll this staff.....

If someone asked how to hit remote web server you do not say just place a
link <A href=server.com on your page....

This is more for CodeProject. I know I have membership so thought I would
download the code. I go to their page to retrieve my password and the
CAPTCHA thing is garbage. I type in what I see and it is always rejected.
If the code is as bad then....

Re: usign Skype from .NET

CodeProject is generally a good starting point for ideas. I rarely find code
I would push to production, as is, from there. The same is true of most of
the code sites, although you can find great bits on the open source sites
(codeplex or sourceforge, for example).

Re: usign Skype from .NET

I agree with you...
It rarely happens that you can find a production code there
But considering a variety of the technology no matter how exhaustive your
experience, there is always something you've never worked with. And then
any small piece of info helps.

Re: usign Skype from .NET

Here is how original question was phrased (you can see it in my original
email)
---------------------------------------------
I need to implement phone activation from my ASP.NET web site.
So after user had created account, robot calls him and asks to push "1" if
yes and 0 if "No". So naturally I
thought about Skype.

Is it doable? Or may be someone knows other way to do it?
-------------------------------------------

Now I spend the whole day doing research with Skype and other similar
software....
I figured that Skype is geared toward user interface too much, and it's hard
to manipulate it from the server.
So looks like it's not an option....

From what I've read so far I realized that I need to subscribe to "Voice
over IP" service. Like http://www.vonage.com
Then using VOIP protocol I can do pretty much same things regular phone
does.

The trouble is I can not find any SDK/API that would let me manipulate VOIP.
So if someone has experience with VOIP I would appreciate if you would point
me out to where to start digging.

PS: I do not mind purchasing the library to do VOIP....

Thanks.
George.

Re: usign Skype from .NET

Many VOIP providers use SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). There is a linux
VOIP server called Asterix (or is it Asterisk???) that is open source, so
you might get ideas. I believe there are windows ports of it as well.

There is a PDF floating around of the book that goes with Asterix that has a
LOT of info about how it works. Perhaps there is enough information in here
and the open source code of asterix for you to be able to write a connector.

As far as I am aware (though I could be wrong) there are many ways to drive
asterix which could do what you are trying to achieve. Do a search for the
PDF file for asterix (or asterisk).
