Clarity Consulting Inc. http://www.claritycon.com developed the original Facebook Developer Toolkit for the Microsoft Visual Studio Express Team. We have seen lots of feedback on suggestions on improving the codebase. We worked with Microsoft on an idea to keep the code relevant and up to date for all the Facebook Developers. Together we decided that hosting the source here on CodePlex will be the best way to track items and allow community involvement in the source. We encourage anyone to get involved.

We would like to thank Microsoft for the great support they are giving this project, and the effort they are willing to commit to helping us keep the library up to date.

If you are looking for resources to help get started using the Facebook Developer Toolkit, Steve Trefethen developed a starter kit and good set of instructions for using the Toolkit. You can find his resources at his site, http://www.stevetrefethen.com/blog/DevelopingFacebookApplicationsInCWithASPNET.aspx.

I am working on getting Version 1.1 completed (with the doc updates for this week). I am open to all feedback from anyone who downloaded the pre-release versions. I just added new implementations of 2 notifications api calls and 2 feeds api calls.

Version 1.1 is officially released. Please post any issues so that they can be incorporated into version 1.2. Thanks to all the help in getting this done. I think this is a great improvement over the 1.0 release.

Version 1.2 is officially released. This includes some api enhancements and corrections and greatly improved support for writing canvas applications.

I'm working on adding .NET Compact Framework support to the toolkit. Changeset 8597 contains my work towards this so far and is the first build of the Facebook.Compact project with all the necessary additions so that it builds under the .NET Compact Framework v2.0. I'll work on a sample application for Windows Mobile in due course.

hi, I used this toolkit to develop an application. is it possible and legal to sell my application (the website and the source code)?

The current version is 1.5. This build contains deployment/setup projects. v1.3 contained most of the actual code additions/fixes. The 1.4 version was skipped by request.

Hi, I am a C#/.NET developer trying to use the FacebookDeveloperToolkit.msi v1.5 first time. I got the code and installed the following:
.NET Compact framework v2.0
Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK
Microsoft ActiveSync 4.2
ASP.NET AJAX 1.0

And compiled using MS Visual Studio 2005 and got the below error:
Assembly 'D:\NextGen\csharp\Facebook\obj\Debug\Facebook.dll' doesn't contain any UserControl types.

Am I missing something? Can some one help?

I know this question has been asked many times, but here it is again. What are the differences between Facebook.NET (http://www.codeplex.com/FacebookNET) and the Facebook Developer Toolkit? Do they co-exist? Should a developer pick one over the other? What is the "official" framework/toolkit sponsored by Microsoft? Does that matter?

From reading some of the posts on the facebook developer's discussion board http://forum.developers.facebook.com/index.php, the .net coders are second class citizens. Kudos to you for trying to keep up with the API, but I can't help your users of the other wrapper with common facebook questions because I'm using your toolkit. I think that by having two API wrappers (I know there are few others out there), we become divided and foster a every man for himself culture which is not the culture of the open-source community. This is exactly one of the points of the PHP-ers was trying to make.

Anyway, by having two API wrappers and having direction at the top, I keep spinning around trying to figure out which end is up while the PHP guys are just rolling along...

Yes SeanMs I'm with you! Let's focus our efforts!

Since there is no comparison available I may have to review everything and make a recommendation. If someone has already done it step forward please.
