Answer 1

LinkedIn supports OAuth, so you can start from there. Here's an example from their site.

Answer 2

You can webclient to pass datas to the linked in url

 WebClient wc = new WebClient();
 //call URL with your data
 var res = wc.UploadData("linkedinurl", System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(querystrings));
 //parse the returned results
 var result= System.Convert.ToInt32(Encoding.ASCII.GetString(res));

Cheers

Hi,

If LinkedIn supports OAuth you can check my FriendFeed Win Mobile application. I developed it with C# and Win Mobile 6.0 SDK and used OAuth to use FF Api.
