Tapanila - Why you aren't using FacebookCsharpSDK?

There exists a very good Facebook C# SDK that works perfectly for Windows Phone. https://github.com/facebook-csharp-sdk/facebook-csharp-sdk

Why you aren't using it?

It's way easier to use.

Hamishwillee - This article states "without using any third party library."

Hi Tapanila

Thanks for pointing this out. Obviously its a good idea to use a well maintained third party library provided cost and licencing permit. Perhaps the author didn't know about this library, or wanted to remove a dependency on any third party library, or perhaps they thought that showing how it is done would be useful for some users.

In any case, the article states that it is for use if you don't want to use a third party library, and is therefore accurate.

That said I have added a note near the top suggesting this library. Is this a "defacto standard" - or are there other competitive C# libraries you know about?

Regards

Hamish

Spaced Sweden - I would do as the author if its only authentication you are after

But there is a problem with this solution, you will be shipping your api key and secret wich is really easy to sniff, and that is a secuirty flaw

what you should do is to add &response_type=token to "https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=<Your Key>&redirect_uri=https://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html&scope=email,user_location,friends_location,user_hometown,friends_hometown,publish_stream,offline_access,read_stream,user_status,user_photos,friends_photos,friends_status,user_checkins,friends_checkins,user_events,publish_checkins&display=touch

By adding response_type you never have to send you secret from a phone and you are saving one request wich is nice.

Worth noting is that WAP is not a valid display type any more.

Regarding 3rd party libs, i would just stick with my own if its only user auth you are after.

Have fun

Somnathbanik - Hi friends

Hi Friends,

@Tapanila?: I would like to echo what Hamish said. I knew about the Facebook C# SDK, and have tried that, also got few examples on web using that SDK. Cause of that I thought of writing an article that authenticates without using any third party library.

@spaced_Sweden ?: First of all welcome to Nokia Developer Community.

This is a technique alternative of the available 3rd party library. Regarding permission and display you can always go to facebook developer web site for more updated information, like offline_access doesn't support now, but has no harm here, same with display also?:)

Somnathbanik - Facebook API changed

Hi Sarahpy,

The Facebook API has updated and is getting some extra text in the Access Token after "&". Please open the function ResponseCallback_AccessToken from the code and Split the access token. Here is the code that I created for you.

 string[] splitAccessToken = responseString.Split(new Char[] { '=','&' });                            string accessTokenString = splitAccessToken.GetValue(0).ToString();                            string accessTokenValue = splitAccessToken.GetValue(1).ToString(); 

string accessTokenTemp = splitAccessToken.GetValue(2).ToString();

Somnathbanik - @Sarahpy - Continue

string[] splitAccessToken = responseString.Split(new Char[] { '=','&' }); string accessTokenString = splitAccessToken.GetValue(0).ToString(); string accessTokenValue = splitAccessToken.GetValue(1).ToString(); 

string accessTokenTemp = splitAccessToken.GetValue(2).ToString();
