API or technical documentation for including a new service in Microsoft Office's "insert online pictures" pane

Microsoft Office 2013 and higher includes an "online pictures" option in the "insert" ribbon. By default it includes options for Bing image search and sharepoint. There is a link that implies there is some way to add additional services via a Microsoft account, but this did not work when I tried it.
I'm trying to figure out if there's a way I can leverage this existing tool to allow our users to search and place images from our PHP/MySQL-based ResourceSpace digital asset management system. I would assume there would be some sort of API and process for including an additional web service in the Office UI, but I haven't had much luck finding it. Wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction on finding some technical details about this feature. Or is it just another Microsoft walled garden?
At the moment it is still a bit of a walled garden (the integration is non-trivial). This however is an excellent scenario for an Office Web Add-in. There are commercial examples of exactly this scenario in the Office Store today (Shutterstock Images, PicHit).
From an API perspective, you'd want to leverage the Document.setSelectedDataAsync method. There are some subtle differences between the types of content that can be inserted (referred to as the CoercionType) but I suspect it fits what you're looking for. In PowerPoint, Excel and Word you can insert any Base64 image (Office.CoercionType.Image). With Word you can insert raw HTML so a standard <img> tag can be used with a URL to the source image ((Office.CoercionType.Html).

Harmon.ie custom list not shown in Outlook

I created a new SharePoint 2013 project in order to customize a doclib witht the columns and views we would like to use to store our emails, using Harmon.ie. After deployment of the wsp on the sharepoint, everything is working fine in terms of SharePoint, but Harmon.ie (installed on Outlook 2010) does not seem to detect the new list based on our library template. When using a standard DocLib or List templates to create a new list, they are showing up fine.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed?
harmon.ie offers the option to display Document libraries and Lists by templates ID.

creating a customized Bing Map

I'm currently working on a project (Water Information System) and I really need to create a simple customized map for the software I'm currently working on.
The maps would only have info. about the communities around, water links and closest water purification chambers
How do i create a create a customized bing map where
1. Map Admins can create and update the map (by adding new water chambers/ info)
2. Users can easily view only the customized map.
I'm having problems doing that with the BING MAP SDK + Visual Studio 2010 + Silverlight.
Please any possible solution, hint or suggestion. Thanks
Not sure if you're still looking for help on this ...
I have done something similiar but instead of using the Silverlight BingMaps control, I've used the AJAX instead, and controlled it all via Javascript.
You'd want to have 2 screens for your project - one where the Admins can plot and drop their data (water chambers) and you save those to a database with their Geo coordinates.
the 2nd screen would be the end-users loading the map, and you would create another EntityCollection layer holding all of the data pulled from the database.
Here is a sample project I found that should provide you a template to get started

How can I take a picture of my database Entity Framework model for people to reference?

My company has made an Entity Framework model of the database with all of the relationships mapped out and I'd like to take a screenshots of that with all of the FKs included in it. But I can't seem to figure out how to take a screenshot that includes all of that information. Any advice?
The "Export as Image" feature of Entity Framework generates an image that is too pixelated.
Alternatively, use NClass to generate diagram from ur Assembly containing EDMX classes
An alternative if you have Office OneNote 2007 you can simply print it to "Send To OneNote 2007" printer. Then you can use your favorite image editing tool to cut it however you want.
Oh the joy of Visio not being a major player in this game anymore. you can still reverse engineer a DB using Visio - which gives a nice presentation for printing.
Personally, the VS 2010 Entity viewer (Server explorer) is the easiest and quickest for me to use. The presentation isn't that bad either. Though you have more options with Visio as far as printing and portability. (You can still do Viso -> SQL in Visio 2010 with an addon).
Snipping tool (Vista/Windows 7) Start->Programs->Applications->Snipping it is such a helpful tool.
And oh am I glad no one actually said: "use your iPhone, take a picture and text it to your boss".
Why don't you use the Microsoft SQL Server Management (Express) Studio Diagram Option?
(To display the names of your relationships you can use Database diagram -> Show releationship labels)
Or you can use Ctrl + the mousewheel to scroll in/out in Visual Studio and you the Snipping Tool to take a screenshot.

How to do design list view like SharePoint 2010 Custom List or Document Library?

I am generation Recent Activity list from SharePoint 2010 site,
What i need is ,i have to display the list in a particular page,The UI must be like a SharePoint 2010 Custom List or Document Library,
How to design it, Is there any way to do this.
If your data source is a SharePoint list, you could use the [ListViewWebPart][1] to achieve this. What exactly are the requirements of the view - should you also include the context-sensitive menu ("Edit properties" etc) ? If not, you could just create a custom web part and override the CreateChildControls method, and there mimic the html/css that is rendered in a document library.
