Simple Facebook Graph Api Example in ASP.NET C#

---

Announcement: We just launched a new Email To SMS Alert system, and the best news is we have a free version. Go to http://www.totxt.com to test it out.

Here is an example VS 2010 project that creates strongly typed objects using Newtonsoft. Json Deserializer.

Steps

1. Create your facebook app on facebook (read instructions http://phpplanet.org/how-to-create-facebook-application/)
2. Download my example codehere
3. Copy and Paste your appid and secret key into web.config
4. Run the default.aspx and get your auth code and paste into “FacebookSvc.cs  TestMethodGetAllData()  and GetFriends()
5. Now you can run all the methods in FacebookSvc.cs  (get friends, get news feeds….) or run default.aspx and click “show friends”
6. I suggest running TestMethodGetAllData() using TestDriven.net, but you can run it how ever you want

Here is some example code just to show how easy it is...

var friends = GetFriends(token, username);
foreach (var friend in friends.data)
{   Response.Write(friend.name)   }

The code is very maintainable because it just uses de-serialize like this   var listOfFriends = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Friends>(strJson)
