Any good source/website/inputs/sample to kickstart developing a twitter application using twitter API?
Edit : I don't know what languages can be used to develop it. But I am familiar with VB .NET and Java.
If you're working in C# or VB.NET I can heartily recommend TweetSharp.
Edit: Here are some snippets using TweetSharp, in case you're interested.
Start here and then explore the links.
I have written a Twitter library in VB.NET. It's free and open source and may be helpful to you. http://twittervb.codeplex.com/

Does anyone have any example code for integrating with WorldPay using MVC3? Specifically posting the XML order to WorldPay. I have googled all the way but couldnt find the relevant information .
WorldPay uses a pretty simple REST API. Their developer documentation, which I think contains C# examples, should be all you need.
MVC doesn't change how you'd interact with them. The code would be the same with a Silverlight or Windows Forms application.
Does anyone can give any sample on using the paypal express payment feature with asp.net mvc2?
thanks
You can find sample code here, PayPal integration sample code
I know this is an old question but for anyone else looking for an express checkout implementation using ASP.NET MVC and wants sample code that isn't Java or PHP (eg C#) you can use this;

Can anyone recommend a free tool for generating Charts compatible with ASP.NET MVC?
Take a look at this free web control from Microsoft:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2008/11/24/new-asp-net-charting-control-lt-asp-chart-runat-quot-server-quot-gt.aspx
I tried it with regular web application, not MVC though. Works alright, a little finicky in some details.
What kind of charts you need to deal with? Some time ago I was looking for Gantt chart control, and really did not find any good free ones.

Use Google Chart Tools.
To clarify, GCT isn't specific to ASP.NET MVC. It's a hosted thing that you can call with Javascript. I've use it in MVC and regular ASP.NET project alike. Very clean and nice.
For instance, open your browser and go here:
https://chart.apis.google.com/chart?cht=p3&chd=t:60,40&chs=250x100&chl=Hello|World
You'll see this:
Google charts
The advantages of the Google Chart Tools are:
A rich gallery of visualizations provided as:
Image charts - using a simple URL request to a Google chart server
Interactive charts - using a Google developed JavaScript library
Can read live data from a variety of data sources
Simple to use and free
you can use google chart tool. its easy to use and woks good.
for refrence you can go through below url

hope i would help you.
would like to use fckeditor or similar for building/editing webpages on the fly
but there are a few other old questions where there are issues
am looking for any recent experiences/alternatives ?
thanks
http://tinymce.moxiecode.com is not bad
I had a pretty easy time integrating fckeditor in my asp.net mvc app. The fact that mvc and regular webforms co-exist seamlessly made including the free fckupload utility a snap. I highly reccomend it.
Depends on the functionality you need. If it's a simple one like the one used here at StackOverflow, there's a Markdown Editor.
Hopefully this will not spark a religious war...
We have a web based app in RoR based on an earlier version we build in .net 2.0. So we currently have both .net and RoR skills in house.
We want to add a RIA app that interfaces with the rails web app. This should be capable of running offine, with some (perhaps relational) persistence. Considering our inhouse experience we leaning toward leveraging the sliverlight framework over the likes of Flex etc.
Would appreciate any thoughts you might have.
Thanks

If you need the application to run offline you will want to use a pure client technology. So instead of Silverlight vs Flex you are looking at WPF vs AIR.
Silverlight and Flex are thin client technologies so neither would fit into RoR very well, unless you used RoR to build web services.
A choice between Flex/Silverlight should depend on your skills and what you want the RIA to do.
There's a fair comparison here: http://extremeblue.wordpress.com/2008/04/28/flex-vs-silverlight-my-views/
But I think you should also look at "pure" javascript solutions like ExtJS or JQuery. We've had good experiences with both those libraries + RoR. JS is hot right now. Javascript engines are getting seriously quick and it's a lovely language (in some ways). Offline persistance can be implemented through Google Gears or Adobe Air.
Go with SilverLight. It's way cool. ;)
