Has anyone found and used an alternative to the Microsoft Webbroswer ActiveX control with any success? The open source Firefox ActiveX version seems to be a dead project development wise and based on an old Firefox version.
Give a look to the GeckoFX Project, an open-source component for embedding Mozilla Gecko (Firefox) in .NET applications.
Written in clean, fully commented C#,
GeckoFX is the perfect replacement for
the default Internet Explorer-based
WebBrowser control.
(source: googlecode.com)
I just installed Microsoft's WebView2 NuGet Package named "Microsoft.Web.WebView2" and dropped the control on a Windows Form and gave it a source to navigate to:
//Build your own URL
string sURL = $"https://auth.tdameritrade.com/auth?response_type=code&redirect_uri={sCallbackURLEncoded}&client_id={sConsumerKey}%40AMER.OAUTHAP";
//Set it as the source
wvLogin.Source = new Uri(sURL);
BAM! It worked. I wish I had known this was available before wasting time on browser controls that do not package well or testing browsers that cost $800 or $1500 for a single licencse.

I am trying to create a cross-platform project to build an app to be running on Microsoft Surface, and I m new to this area.
I googled some tutorials online and they all say that you go to new project, select Cross-Platform, you will see Cross Platform app (Xamarin), Class Library (Xamarin.Forms) and so on.
But when I select Cross-Platform, I only see ONE option: Mobile App (Xamarin.Forms). Is it the new feature or am I missing some components in VS.
If it is a new feature, is there any tutorial regarding how to create an windows surface app using it?
Probably this is an easy question but a million thanks to you!
Microsoft works constantly on Xamarin, so templates for cross-platform projects may change every time you update your Visual Studio.
Try to check the date of your tutorial
Choose recent tutorials
Watch videos on Xamarin youtube channel
Use the Microsoft documentation website for recent tutorials :

I am trying to make an email layout cross compatible with all clients, but is getting slowed down because I have to use Outlook everytime I make changes. Actually it seems like the only method is to use litmus, so what happens is whenever I make changes to my code, I send a test email to my litmus, then only from there I can check the cross compatibility.
Is there a software/tool I can use to see the layout real time as how I code?
Thanks!
If you have Litmus, use Litmus Builder! You can code in one half of the screen and get updated previews of any client in the right every time you save. Worth the $$$ if you work on email regularly.
Another way is to use Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft Outlook uses a similar (if not same) rendering engine as Microsoft Word.
If you have a compiled HTML file of the email and have Microsoft Word installed on your computer, you can right-click the HTML file and Open With -> Microsoft Word to open the email file in Word. What you see should be very similar to Outlook.

I am thinking of developing Ebook reader in xamarin forms. But I could not find any Epub/Mobi reader SDK anywhere.Is there any xmarin SDK available for Ebook reader ? If it is not available , How can I develop one in xamarin ?
I have made a port of EpubReader for PCL projects: EpubReader.Cross.
It has almost same api except you need to use streams instead paths to files.
You can download the library as a package from Nuget: Install-Package EpubReader.Cross
For opening a book without loading content:
var epubBook = EpubReader.OpenBook(stream);
For reading a book:
var epubBook = EpubReader.ReadBook(stream);
Just checked few nugets with following results:
ePub
epubsharp
netfx3.5 - so no go for Xamarin. Besides this is only for generation of epub format
epubfactory
PCL - this might work for Xamarin.Forms
epubreader
I was not able to determine tartget platform. Try adding to the project
Mobi - none found
You could try this one - https://epubear.scand.com/. It stands for Xamarine as well as for Android & iOS. Fairly faster than SkyEpub, not buggy and doesn't remind me of construction set with lots of unuseful features & tools. Reliable, easy to drive and the team is fast to respond in case you might need help.

Espresso has live preview feature which shows live changes of code as we write code.
I am searching for same feature in a tool for Windows?
Dreamweaver has that one, but doesn't support JS. Is there any other web editor or IDE?
The closest I know of is the IntelliJ platform (WebStorm/IntelliJ IDEA) with the live edit plugin. It works in combination with a Chrome plugin.
You can watch a demonstration of live edit in action here
Instructions for setting up the Chrome plugin are here.
Shameless plug: LIVEditor - the product name contains the word live, in order to emphasize its feature to show live html/css preview, which is, alone with the integrated Firebug-like html element inspector for showing applied css styles, the most important nature of this code editor.

Does anyone know of any UI automation cross-platform (Windows and Mac OS X) open source APIs/frameworks available for automating external GUI applications from inside a separate application programmatically?
Through searching, I've found a couple commercial cross-platform UI automation products, but obviously they wouldn't allow embedding in an open-source cross-platform application nor would they permit calling them from code (I would be calling it from Objective-C/Cocoa and/or .NET/Mono)...
I'm aware of (but haven't tried yet) the open source "white" project for .NET however that of course only works on Windows since it has a dependency on the Microsoft UI Automation framework.
Image-driven UI automaion is the best solution so far.
Please have a look at sikuli.org.
