Facebook.NET provides a .net library for use in developing Facebook applications and accessing Facebook APIs. The library primarily geared around and optimized for developing ASP.NET-based Web applications, both FBML and IFrame-based Facebook applications through an intuitive API and small set of server controls. It does support the use of the Facebook API from desktop applications as well, and will eventually enable Silverlight application usage. The library is built on .NET 2.0, but should run on future versions of the .NET framework as well. Applications using Facebook.NET can be written in either C# or VB.NET. The library is still in early form (some APIs haven't been implemented yet, there are only a couple server controls: FacebookApplication, and FqlDataSource at the moment, etc.) but the intent is to grow this over the course of building some Facebook applications, and through community usage/feedback as well. Please help improve this project by submitting bugs and feature suggestions through the issues list, or if you have ideas that need more discussion, please submit them on the discussions forum. Associated Links The introduction to this framework is on my Facebook.NET blog post, along with a few other useful developer links. Steve Trefethen has posted a VS Starter Kit for getting started with Facebook development using Facebook.NET.

Comments webchetan wrote Oct 29 2007 at 2:01 PM Hi Nikhil - I really like your blogs and am a .NET Analyst in Mass. I would like to know where is the best place to start, so that I can understand the FBML and its API's ? Is there a demo project which I can download and run on my localhost which would exactly replica Facebook. (I believe FaceBook.com runs on PHP). I prefer both the C# and VB.NET version. Please advice. Thank you! Chetan A. Sharma phillipb wrote Dec 28 2007 at 3:43 PM thanks for keeping this up-to-date. I'm now confident that I can continue building in .NET. I had plans to make the switch over to PHP, but seeing that you have support for the new setFBML I'll continue to hold up the banner.

I'm getting steadily more frustrated trying to get a response from ANYBODY crashed wrote Jul 26 at 5:05 PM Are you updating this for Facebook Platform 2.0 as I fins it so much easier to use then the microsoft version. vasigus wrote Aug 13 at 4:07 AM Agreed. I also have a number of applications written and would like to continue using facebook.net. revbones wrote Sep 3 at 6:03 PM Any status on whether Facebook.Net will be updated for the FB API 2.0? phuff34 wrote Oct 3 at 7:21 PM I'm rewriting parts of the Feeds Service now and am willing to take over the rest if need be. I have not heard back from Nikhil. I contacted wcbrown, who began a fork of the project, and may collaborate with him. Otherwise, I will start a new project here on Codeplex that builds on top of this one and maintain it going forward.

Is Nikhil still maintaining this, or is there an official fork underway? Sign in to add a comment
