Xamarin Android Push Notifications using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) and ASP.Net
January 01, 2014 by Anuraj
.Net ASP.Net Xamarin
This post is about implementing Push Notifications in Xamarin Android using Google Cloud Messaging (GCM). Google Cloud Messaging for Android (GCM) is a free service that helps developers send data from servers to their Android applications on Android devices, and upstream messages from the user’s device back to the cloud. The GCM service handles all aspects of queueing of messages and delivery to the target Android application running on the target device. A GCM implementation includes a Google-provided connection server, a 3rd-party app server that interacts with the connection server, and a GCM-enabled client app running on an Android device.

.Net .Net 4.0 Visual Studio
Today I faced an issue while compiling the project with VS 2010. First I thought it was due to invalid snk file. But I confirmed it, that was not the problem. Later I found it was a permission issue. The solution is very simple, to resolve this error; open the following folder - “C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Microsoft\Crypto\RSA\MachineKeys”, and give your user (whatever account you use to log onto your computer and work on Visual Studio) full control. You can do it by Right click on the MachineKeys folder and select properties, and in the security tab, make sure the current user have full control.

.Net .Net 4.0 ASP.Net ASP.Net MVC Windows Forms
Here is a small C# snippet which will return a date time value in a readable way as facebook,twitter, stackoverflow and most of the forum sites, like 1 day ago,1 min ago etc. If you’re building a website, then the jQuery plugin Timeago is a pretty sweet way to do it (as long as you can stand webpages that auto update text). I have wrapped it in an extension method.
