Hello World to Twitter from C#

Question

A few days ago, I posted this question and this question asking about how to post "Hello World" to twitter. I've gotten helpful responses, which have propelled me further along, but I'm still lost.

I need to use OAuth because (as I read it) using username and password is going to be deprecated soon.

I need an example as simple as updating the status with the string constant 'Hello World!'.

My client is specifying that I must use C#.

Answer 1

What API are you using? have you tried Twitterizer. It should be relatively simple to do.

Answer 2

I highly recommend that you use TweetSharp. It is very robust, supports the scenario you specify above (uses OAuth to authenticate).

I've used it on a few pet projects and I've been extremely happy with it. The download comes with a WPF sample application that shows you how to use twitter's OAuth implementation.

Answer 3

Definitely use Linq2Twitter -

http://linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/

It's UpdateStatus method has 11 overloads - the whole implementation is really nice. So you're example would be:

var tweet = twitterCtx.UpdateStatus("Hello world");

Answer 4

I am having issues with TweetSharp.Twitter on Godaddy.

The error 'That assembly does not allow partially trusted callers' is causing issues for me. Any workarounds??

thx
