(Simple) problem with TweetSharp

Question

Here is what I did :
1. I create a C# project from VS .NET 2005 (Console application)
2. Attached the library from tweetsharp.com
3. I copied and pasted and tried to run

The code

//setting up a request is unchanged
var twitter = FluentTwitter.CreateRequest()
.AuthenticateAs(user, password)
.Statuses().OnHomeTimeline().AsXml();

// In past releases 'response' used to be a string, now it's a TwitterResult object
var response = twitter.Request();

I can't get it running. The error is :

'Dimebrain.TweetSharp.Fluent.IFluentTwitter' does not contain a definition for    'AuthenticateAs'... Data\Temporary Projects\ConsoleApplication1\Program.cs

Any ideas what I did wrong?

Answer 1

You need to make sure you are referencing the right namespaces in your code - I think in this case Dimebrain.TweetSharp.Extensions.

There's a more thorough snippet here on the TweetSharp site.

Answer 2

The only 'using' directive you need for that code snippet should be:

using Dimebrain.TweetSharp.Fluent

You'll probably also eventually need:

using Dimebrain.TweetSharp.Extensions;
using Dimebrain.TweetSharp.Model;

...so you might as well add those too.

We do plan to collapse a lot of TweetSharp into a single namespace at some point, but for now that should get you most of what you need.
