Hey Akshaya, First of all, OpenSocial knows a server part and then there's 2 ways of using it's API's, one is through creating an OpenSocial gadget that is run on the social site, the other is to talk to it's REST API's, which is what the client library facilitates that you've downloaded.
Now I'm not entirely sure about what the goals of site are, but there are a couple of options: - Implement PHP or Java Shindig, while doing so you'll need to implement it's service adapters (for people, activities and app data, see the included samples and for PHP you can also look at partuza: http://code.google.com/p/partuza), generate iframe's for each gadget with proper security tokens, user prefs, nav params, country and lang.. etc.. - There is a C# port that might be more useful for you, it's not entirely as up-to-date as the php and java versions, but quite functional and if that's the language of choice something you should def consider: http://code.google.com/p/baadal/ - Maybe your site doesn't have to be a container at all .. have you looked at Google Friend Connect? (http://www.google.com/friendconnect), with it you can leverage existing accounts (no 'registration fatigue' to worry about), and using gadget rendering, the outside-of-iframe js API and it's REST interfaces you can leverage pretty much anything that you could do if you build it your self, and it would allow you to leverage the social graph of a couple of social sites like netlog, myspace, etc. -- Chris On Wed, Jul 1, 2009 at 3:54 PM, Akshaya <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi All > > I am trying to create a Open Social Container in ASP.Net, but even > after struggling to do it for 2 days I am still at Ground Zero. > > Here's what I have tried already - I downloaded the .Net Client > Library available at "http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-net- > client/ <http://code.google.com/p/opensocial-net-%0Aclient/>", but when I > tried to use the sample application in the > archive, I always got the "Internal Error: 500" in the response > stream.
