Is it possible to use the Lync 2010 SDK to add a company logo into the desktop client?
Thanks!
No, the Lync SDK doesn't give you any ability to brand the standard client. The only way you could do this would be to run Lync in Supressed UI mode, and provide the user interface yourself - this would be a huge amount of work, as you would need to effectively re-write the entire Lync Client UI.
If you're a Win32 guru, you may be able to do something with some low-level windows API calls, but I'm not sure how feasible that would be - plus you may be on shaky ground as far as the license agreement goes

we have our own cms system and need to add feature to access tizen device remotely.
I have check various docs and pdf, but enable to get exact approach used behind.
Some where it was mentioned that we need to install vnc server on the tizen tv, which will help us to connect tizen tv remotly. but how can we install vnc server on tizen tv.
You did not specify what platform you are using. I am familiar with Samsung's QM models and will offer what I know about those. I presume what I say here generalises to all models supporting SSSP 5+.
I can think of two alternatives to the MagicInfo RM Server.
Reverse engineer the MagicInfo RM protocol and create your own server. I would take a close look at your partnership agreement before trying that.
Create your own SSSP application. For this to help you it has to always be running. The way you do that is with URL Launcher. I am not sure if it is possible for your application to not take over the screen. There are also some limitations to what system calls an SSSP application can make.
Up to you to figure out what meets your requirements.
From a fiscal perspective, you should weigh what Samsung's RM Server will cost you in licensing fees versus what it will cost you to develop and maintain a custom solution. Keep in mind, SSSP is a moving target.
You mentioned VNC. When you make an SSSP application you can also make a Nodejs application along with it. Ask Samsung and they will tell you about it. I am sure there are npm packages for VNC that can help you. Maybe there is a VNC web client and you do not need to bother with Nodejs at all. There is NaCl too.
Is it possible to do user authentication / user-login for Facebook-Api inside a Visual Studio C# project using XNA Game Studio? I need to generate the access-token to post a message on a user's facebook wall.
Currently I managed to do it with a WinForms application using this tutorial (English):
http://blog.prabir.me/posts/facebook-csharp-sdk-writing-your-first-facebook-application-v6
or this tutorial (German)
http://frank-it-beratung.com/blog/2011/01/29/tutorial-ein-facebook-pinnwandeintrag-mit-visual-basic-oder-c-teil-2/
Its no problem with WinForms, because you can use System.Windows.Forms.Webbrowser control.
So in order to support this functionality in XNA Game Studio, do I need to embed a Winform Control in XNA? Or is there a better way?
I could embed the Winform in XNA by using this tutorial:
http://theinstructionlimit.com/how-to-properly-use-windows-forms-with-xna
You can try to use HttpWebRequest. You can google more info on how to use this method, essentially it is a direct connection to web page, the same way browser does it in background. Unfortunately it is not so easy to do and you might encounter additional facebook security barriers (as facebook does not want automated connections without web service).
There is also facebook sdk for windows store applications, but it should be possible to take some of it's code and use it for XNA.
So to answer your question - yes, there is definitely better ways to implement facebook login, but most likely much more complex than using Webbrowser control. Webbrowser should be last resort.

Is there a specific server platform required to setup for
development and deployment enterprise apps?
Is there a specific architecture for this purpose? If so which one
since we are will be calling windows web service.
Is an application development server required or can we use an
ordinary pc?
Thanks in advance
Your server doesn't need anything special to distribute apps, we have it working fine on an ordinary Linux box. All you need is:
a URL to an XML file that describes the app
a URL to a png image for your app icon (for use while the app is being downloaded)
a URL to a .ipa file containing the actual app.
some kind of authentication to ensure these URLs aren't publicly available (this could just be a VERY long random string inside the URL, perhaps one that changes regularly).
All of that can be done on any ordinary HTTP web server, without even any dynamic pages.
Some other enterprise features, such as push notifications, will require a programming language that can do some fairly low level network stuff. We've got that working fine with PHP, I'm not sure what would be the best language to work with on Windows.
I'm not sure if this is what you're asking, but you will need a Mac OS X based workstation for writing and compiling the app(s) you're working on. This cannot be done on windows.
1) No
2) It's up to you. For instance you could feed XML or JSON equally on your windows web service. The way you call your server from the client on the app is your decision. Typically driven by a URL.
3) No, an application development server is not required. You can use an ordinary PC if you wanted. I've done this multiple times for testing sure. But for a large audience of course I would recommend something large like a linux server and not a "home PC".
I am developing an enterprise application for Android and iPhone platforms.
The question is if you have any way to publish on the AppStore and Android Market and make the application available only to users of this company and not available to anyone outside the company?
There are approximately 300 people who would use the App.
Thanks

I think an authentication process would be helpful in that case. However in iOS's case I would recommend to get an enterprise license, for your requirements.
For Android, it's pretty easy:
You can distribute the .apk file (the application package) without having to use the market at all. You can either post it on a web server, or otherwise send it to them via email.
Bonus: If you send it to the GMAIL account they use on their phone, the can install the apk file attachment directly.
As far as limiting distribution in the Android market, you really can't prevent people from discovering and downloading your application. Your best bet is to keep distribution local to your company using a private web server.
For iOS, check out the enterprise license.
How can i make a lotus application an iPhone native apps?
For e.g: eLeave.
The submit or approve action button in the form was created using lotusscript. So how can it work in iOS ? I have no idea how can i extend my lotus application to an iPhone Native Apps. Someone had suggested to use either SOAP or REST via HTTP to communicate between iOS and domino. But i don't even know what can i do with SOAP in my apps.
Pls help.
The suggestions along the lines of SOAP or other HTTP-based access to the data are correct. Since you can't just port a Notes app to the iPhone (for a variety of reasons) or use the Notes Java API classes (since the iPhone doesn't have Java), some form of HTTP access is your best bet. Either traditional Domino web access via forms or XPages are most likely the best way to go, since then you can write your UI in Designer. If you don't want to or can't do that for whatever reason, you're on the hook for writing the UI for your iOS app separately and then connecting to Domino via Web Services or REST functionality.
SOAP Web Services are probably what you want. They have the advantage of being supported directly in Designer - you can create a Web Service Provider in LotusScript or Java in much the same way you would write an Agent or Script Library. You would have to write methods to access and update the data you want, but it would also mean you have full control over what happens. You could re-implement your form-submission code as a web service call that takes the changed data as parameters and then does whatever manipulation you want and creates/saves the document.
It does depend on the version of Lotus/Domino you are running. This could be a start XPages Mobile Controls I am not sure about the "native"here. This is XPages, web based.
Based on your comment, I know of one native application TSAzr. This application uses XPages as web-services on the domino server. A bit more info can be found here dominoGuru
Your follow-up suggests that a mobile-optimised web application will not cut it, and that you want a native application. This means writing a new iOS application, end of story. There are different ways to go about this of course—e.g. you could build a web app and then wrapper it using something like Appcelerator Titanium, or PhoneGap—but ultimately, you need to write something.
As #Jesse Gallagher has already stated, Notes applications can't be ported directly to an iOS device. Apart from anything else, a Lotus Notes client application is a proprietary data store (NSF) sitting within a C and C++-based client built and compiled for the relevant underlying platform (Win or OS X). There is no direct analogue for iOS other than re-coding your app (of course, you could re-use the existing Lotusscript business logic via web service calls, as detailed in earlier answers).
