Project Description
Like the title says, this is an asynchronous Facebook API for .NET. It's designed to be both easy to use and scalable/robust. It assumes a working knowledge of the Facebook developer platform. If you're having scalability or performance issues with the Facebook Developer Toolkit or are concerned with the scalability/performance of your Facebook application, this is the library for you.

Goals
  • Maximum scalability
  • High performance
  • Introduce developers to asynchronous development – It's not that hard!
Scruples
We will not expose synchronous api's for anything that makes a call to the Facebook RESTful API. Synchronous API's to remote web services lead to nothing but heartache (frozen desktop applications, unresponsive web sites, and crashes). Asynchronous programming isn't as hard as you might think. Give it a shot. If you can do AJAX, you can use this library. Read JD's blog for details.

TODO
There is a large TODO list. This project is in its infancy and needs help! It works, but is not quite feature rich enough for a 1.0 release. Hopefully sometime soon we'll have something respectable to release. For now, grab the 0.1 release and have a go!

Wow, I'm just having a look over the source code .... this looks absolutely excellent and brilliant!! Keep up the good work, and THANK YOU for pursuing an asynchronous API! I was using the Clarity Consulting Facebook Developer Toolkit, and was experiencing application lock-ups on my Windows Presentation Foundation user interface.

Thanks for the vote of confidence! I wasn't sure anyone other than me would even be interested in this. :)

Why isn't there a method of grabbing messages? Is this not supported by the Facebook API, or just by your .NET API?

I actually just checked out the Facebook Developer wiki, and I can't find anything about retrieving messages from the inbox! I wonder why. There are methods of retrieving notifications of new messages, but not the messages themselves. Hrmmmmm ...........

Hi, I am a microsoft developer, i tried using the Facebook API and the Facebook toolkit, but i did not find any method that allows me to upload videos through code.
Please let me know if a mechanism already exists. Please i need your earliest reply.
Thanks in advance,
Shradha

I just started converting my app from the Facebook Developer Toolkit and already I see a huge performance gains. So far it looks great!
