the TwitterUser.Show() method requires username or id, i dont have both!

please help!

Answer 1

There was no method available in previous releases, however, in the 2.3 preview (that I published about an hour ago) there is a new method you can use for this:

TwitterAccount.VerifyCredentials(OAuthTokens)

You should really store the user name or (even better) the user ID along with the access token, since many methods require at one or the other.
