protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgse)
{
Authorize();
}
private voidAuthorize()
{
string app_id = "49772742030276";
string app_secret = "4ddb76a956e0c0b28456e744d59174";
string scope = "publish_stream,manage_pages";
if (Request["code"] == null)
{
string uri = string.Format("http://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id={0}&redirect_uri={1}&scope={2}", app_id, Request.Url.AbsoluteUri, scope);
Response.Redirect(uri);
}
else
{
Dictionary<string, string> Res_tokens = new Dictionary<string, string>();
string uri = string.Format("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={0}&redirect_uri={1}&scope={2}&code={3}&client_secret={4}",
app_id, Request.Url.AbsoluteUri, scope, Request["code"].ToString(), app_secret);
HttpWebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(uri) asHttpWebRequest;
using (HttpWebResponseresponse = request.GetResponse() as HttpWebResponse)
{
StreamReader reader = new StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream());
string values = reader.ReadToEnd();
foreach (stringtoken in values.Split('&'))
{
Res_tokens.Add(token.Substring(0, token.IndexOf("=")), token.Substring(token.IndexOf("=") + 1));
}
}
string access_token = Res_tokens["access_token"];
Facebook.FacebookClientclient = new Facebook.FacebookClient(access_token);
client.Post("/me/feed", new { message = "This post is sample testing from C# program : Testing = Success ;) " });
}
At the first time, page loads there is no code is present in request. we are sending the id and request.url.AbsoulteUri which is mention in Facebook app it is automatically taken from that.When you launch the page you will see the following screens. if not already login in Facebook then login page will come.after finish the login following UI will launch finally it is posted in your FB account with your app .
Here "/me/feed" refers the my account , if you want to post some one than give the corresponding id.
From this article i hope you will learn how to use the FB app to post the message in FB account.
