Is it possible to programmatically view or edit the user's custom autocorrect dictionary on windows phone 8?
I'd like to allow the user to add and remove words from their custom dictionary, but I have been unsuccessful in determining if the api provides access to this.
No, it is not possible in WP to programmatically access custom dictionary to read/write words.
However, there is a way to clear all suggestions at once, you can find that option in Settings -> Keyboard.
But again, no programmatic access.
You will more detail on this topic here:

I am looking for a way to change the language for a single user for the complete GSuite.
For Gmail for example it would be this. However I would like to change the default language for the complete GSuite.
Is that somehow possible?
Two things:
As an admin, you cannot change the GSuite language for already existing users, you can only set-up a language for new users as decribed here.
Unfortunately the implementation of the feature above (Account settings > Profile > Language) has not been implemented into the Admin SDK yet.
Indeed, multiple features available in the Admin console have not been implemented into the API (yet).
As for the language settings, currently it is not even possible to retrieve them via API, not to mention to change them.
I am looking through the code for a chrome extension i use to see what data is reported back to devleoper/mother-ship. I see that the extension's code saves some info using 'chrome.storage.sync.set' which of course makes sense as the variables that are stored there are available to me not matter what computer I load the extension on.
My question is... does the developer have access to this data? I would guess not but wanted to make sure. I have been looking for other code that posts data or does something that could send data back to developer but this was the only thing that looked suspicious so far.
No, developer cannot access chrome.storage.sync data and no one can read this except you.
This location is access controlled by
User
Extension
Infact any other extension can not read other extension's data. You can think about this storage similar to localstorage.
Now, If I ask you a question
Does the website developer has access to different values stored in user's local storage ?
The answer is No. Developer can control what to save in this storage and the values are user specific and they remain on user's machine.
However, this comes with a catch. You have to look out for code like this in the extension:
chrome.storage.sync.get('key', function(obj) {
// Make ajax to upload the key value pair
});
But by default, developer do not have access.
I'm developing a Windows store app and need to display files in user computer like in file explorer. Everywhere it says windows store apps only access "library" files and not other locations on the hard drives of PC. And I don't mean something like FileOpenPicker, I want to show file on may application like explorer.
What is the library I should use? System.IO class missing those methods on store apps. I know it is possible. Cos I have seen many applications in store has done that. Few examples are

Thanks in advance
Apps like the ones you mention typically use a FolderPicker to let the user pick the root of the file system and then remember that permission in a FutureAccessList for later use.
Your research was correct: apps cannot get general access to the file system. APps can declare access to the libraries, and app have automatic access to their local data, but anywhere else requires user permission via a picker or equivalent. See File access permissions on MSDN.
Can any one explain me the difference between AppManifets(to my understanding it is .net package info) and WMAppManifest(to my understanding information about the app) ?
Thanks.
AppManifest.xml describes the deployment of your app (libraries and such).
This page describes it better than I can.
What is AppManifest.xaml in Silverlight?
WMAppManifest.xaml describes the
Application UI
Change your display name, and icons here.
Capabilites
Change what permission you want to ask the user to allow your app to do.
Requirements
Set a specific settings that the phone must meet, like having a front camera.
Packaging
Set various settings for submitting to the App store.
Windows 8.1 introduced a new control: SearchBox. It has a feature that remembers user searches which is good, but I want to allow the user to clear the search history. How do I implement that in code?
There is a ClearHistory method on the SearchSuggestionManager class that clears all search history contexts.
Code in C#:
var manager = new Windows.ApplicationModel.Search.Core.SearchSuggestionManager();
manager.ClearHistory();
I'm guessing based on what little documentation is available, but have you tried toggling the SearchHistoryEnabled property?
I'm fairly certain changing the SearchHistoryContext would create a different history key and have the effect of hiding previous searches, but I doubt that would actually delete the history. Do you know where the search history is actually stored?
