[twitter-dev] New Twitter VB.NET 2005 Source Code
Yeah, I developed an OAUTH app using VB.NET. For the OAUTH process I used a library recommended to me from this group. It's pretty good. The website for my app source code is www.twitterdesktop.net Even though there are binaries on this site - it would help if you downloaded the binaries from www.download.com! Search for CYK Desktop. There is the simple HCI version of CYK Desktop. This version was designed with Human Computer Interaction in mind and is really easy to use. Then, there is the advanced version of CYK Desktop which takes over the desktop! It's a pretty cool feature. There are some problems that can arrise with the advanced version. 1. Firewalls need to accept the dumpurge.exe before logging into CYK Desktop Advanced. 2. On Vista / Windows 7 - UAC (User Account Control) needs to be turned OFF before logging in. The source code is for CYK Desktop advanced. They are pretty similar under the hood (the different versions). Okies, what I would LOVE is some feedback on my program in this thread by EVERY ONE!!! I recommend downloading the simple version to test because it does not hijack the desktop. But, if you are technically minded - and want your mind blown - download the advanced version! Love in - peace out - Catcalls
[twitter-dev] How to post spaces to twitter from vb.net?
This is really bugging me now! So far I've tried the following; post_data = status=Hi carla or post_data=status='hi carla' or post_data=status=Hi%20Carla Nothing works! What is required to post spaces to twitter?
[twitter-dev] Re: BOJAN RAJKOVIC - Your DLL is not working!
Since it is his library I am using which needs a fix. I am asking him two things; 1. Is this a known error in 0.1 2. When will 0,3 turn into a working version. So, what was your input again?

Furthermore - I have wrote an entire program with full Twitter Interfacing from Searching to Following to Finally Updating and now I find I cannot post spaces with the library. I cannot rewrite my entire code base because you suggest LINQ2Twitter. I am using this guys library and he really needs to get it sorted for me and the rest of his user base. Basically, my only work around is to replace spaces with an underscore _ That works. But it looks like garbage.

Dim post_data As String = TextBox1.Text Dim url As String = http://twitter.com/statuses/ update.xml?status= post_data Dim xml As String = oauth.WebRequest(RequestMethod.POST, url, String.Empty) This is my code.

Yeah - after much searching I discovered the URL encoding for space is %2B - but this still did not work. I really think there is a problem with oauth.WebRequest() in the DLL?

[twitter-dev] Re: How to post spaces to twitter from vb.net?
Hi Bojan Rajkovic, When I tried using 0.3 DLL it stated a file was missing. Fox something? Perhaps it's a vs2008 only DLL? What do you think? Also, I am using 0.1 DLL which works perfectly except it does not post spaces - I get a 401 unauthorised. I declare Oauth.Twitter as oauth2 then use oauth2.WebRequest() with the URL. I've tried a + and %2B and the only way to seperate words that works is using a _ And that looks terrible! So, is it a known issue in 0.1 that you cannot post spaces with WebRequest? I am getting authenticated fine. AND can post Hi to Twitter. Only one word without spaces works tho - if I use a space or the URLEncoded version of + or + itself it fails.

[twitter-dev] Can someone suggest a VB.NET Twitter API Interface that works?
Hi, I've been using a free Twitter API Interface that was coded in C# and I imported the DLL and it was working fine until I discovered I cannot post spaces to twitter updates! I mean, WHAT!? So, I have basically coded this application with full interaction with this DLL and wasted the past three days of my time because the original coder was too lazy to get it to work for his clients. So, can someone recommend a library that they used and was really pleased with - I don't mind paying a small fee for something that actually works you see. I have a complete app coded that just needs the API Interface to work. I tried rewriting some OAuth code but kept getting nonce errors so I gave up. I might go back to that again though if this request fails as a last resort. I now understand the API authentication procedure a lot more now - and remember the mistakes I was making previously. I might be able to actually code a working class in VB.nET now with my expanded knowledge of the OAuth authentication procedure. But, in the meantime, any one know of a good API for VB.NET to use in the form of a DLL that is Open Source too? This is because I'd really like to take a look at working OAuth/Twitter API code in visual basic .net 2005. Thank you in advance. catcalls

Bojan, This is a problem. I cannot find the URLEncoding feature.

[twitter-dev] Re: How to post spaces to twitter from vb.net?
Rajkovic,
That is version 0.3 - I'm using 0.1!
I cannot use 0,3 - as for log4net - isn't that a Linux thing? I'm
coding under Visual Studio in XP.
I googled log4net - and Apache links came up? What the hell?
Also, I tried using Twitter.API.Authentication.GetAccessToken and it
fails.
Then I tried modifying my code further to use
Twitter.API.Authentication.GetAuthorisationLink() and it gives a 401.
So, basically, the DLL version 0.1 should be trashed. I know version
0.3 works like you said but I do not have the files required to use
it.
Overall, this has been a disappointing evening. I've spent the last
three days coding this app using Rajkovic's DLL and got the search to
work, follow to work, and update to work. Then I find I cannot post a
update with spaces!?
I mean, c'mon!
Oh, I also imported system.web and encoded the Hi Carla string with
and without the + sign. No luck.
So, basically, I'm looking now for a working DLL for Visual Basic Net
2005.
Any suggestions?

If my DLL is rubbish, then how does this work:
using Twitter.API;
using OAuth;
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Security.Cryptography.X509Certificates;
public class NoCheckCertificatePolicy : ICertificatePolicy
{
public bool CheckValidationResult (ServicePoint a, X509Certificate b,
WebRequest c, int d)
{
return true;
}
}
class Test
{
static void Main (string[] args)
{
ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new NoCheckCertificatePolicy ();
//Twitter.API.Preferences.Service.SupportsSSL = false;
Twitter.API.Preferences.Authentication.OAuthAuthorizer = new OAuth.Twitter
(myConsumerKey, myConsumerSecret);
Twitter.API.Preferences.Debugging = true;
Twitter.API.Preferences.Authentication.OAuthAuthorizer.Debugging = true;
Console.WriteLine
(Twitter.API.Preferences.Authentication.OAuthAuthorizer.GetAuthorizationLin k
());
string pin = Console.ReadLine ();
if (Twitter.API.Preferences.Authentication.OAuthAuthorizer.GetAccessToken
(int.Parse (pin)))
Twitter.API.REST.Statuses.Update (Testing status updates., 0);
}
}

[twitter-dev] Re: Can someone suggest a VB.NET Twitter API Interface that works?
Oh, the problem is the DLL. I mean, how many ways can you encode a space? I can use the DLL to search, follow, and update a single word to my twitter account - but as soon as I use a space it fails. Believe me, it's the DLL. Furthermore, the update to the DLL (which he claims works) does not compile on my machine. Finally, I am his client, because I am using his wares. If you are coding for yourself, you do not release it onto the net. You only do that to get people like me, as clients. I offer support on all my open source work. I frequently release code - but the difference is - I test my code before release.

[twitter-dev] Desperate for Help! Twitter API Blues...
Hi, http://www.aponetworks.com/dumpurge/index.html This is a link to the source code so far. It has my Keys / Tokens I received from Twitter in it. I customised a C# Class into a VB.NET class of my own. I also imported the standard C# OAuth DLL into the program to use. I still get an 401 Unauthorised when using this source code and I am really unsure why!? I cannot even view pages that do not require authorisation! Haha. This sucks - OAuth sucks - How am I supposed to view a simple xml page on twitter? I have followed all the tutorials to the letter and even copied loads of custom Twitter API code into my program and it STILL DOES NOT WORK! I am going out my box on this one guys. Srsly, some one take a look at the files and offer some help!
