I agree with Andrew, Bojan.  Your work was invaluable to me and I'm
sure it has been to others as well.  Don't let one ungrateful user run
you off.

Bojan,

I think it's unfortunate that one childish jerk would be enough of a
pain to cause you to shut down your project, especially considering
all the other people who've talked about how helpful you've been.

I've only barely used/looked at your work, but even so, it's offered
value to me. I certainly don't think you've been wasting your time.

actually space is %20, %2B is '+'. Long time since I played in .NET, but why
not HttpUtility.UrlEncode for example?

or better yet - this is a POST request, so why not use the API properly and
send the params as post body instead of String.Empty

Hi all,
After the recent furor over my OAuth implementation, I've decided to end the
project. I don't have the time to maintain it currently (real life work is
keeping me busy), and upon some reflection after today's outburst, I've come
to feel like I've wasted my time working on the project.

If you'd like the source code, just shoot me an e-mail, I'd be more than
happy to send you a current SVN checkout (that you can import into another
repo and continue working from, if you want, though I can't guarantee
anything about the commit history. If you know of a way to export history,
please let me know).

Many thanks to everyone who's helped me and who's supported me in these
threads.

[catcalls]

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?

I know there is a Twitter Interface but there is no documentation on
how to use it either (that Rackovic wrote)

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.

I'll try URL Encoding the string next. Thanks for the suggestion.

[twitter-dev] Re: BOJAN RAJKOVIC - Your DLL is not working!

[Andrew Badera]

Perhaps you need to reconsider your design abstractions -- you should
be able to virtually plug and play. You should have an assembly
sitting between your app and the Twitter library, if you're using
third party, and use your intermediary assembly as an adapter or
facade. That makes it a lot simpler to swap the library on the
backend. You can also use interfaces for this sort of purpose; I
prefer the separate assembly because it reduces regression testing
needs when you make changes later. Single-purpose-ish principle.

Have you tried encoding the spaces before sending them into his library?

[catcalls]

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.

My input was that you're asking in the wrong place, and that there are

Since it is his library I am using which needs a fix. I am asking him

1. Is this a known error in 0.1
2. When will 0,3 turn into a working version.

There are plenty of .NET libraries out there. Check out LinqToTwitter.

By the way, when it's free, you're definitely getting what you pay for.
