// From the Facebook C# API page: // "Most data accessible via the Graph API required an access token. // This SDK does not include a method of getting a token from a user." // http://github.com/facebook/csharp-sdk // The following code is for a dialog form named frmLogin. When the dialog // returns with a DialogResult of OK, the access token will be in the form's // Tag property. private void frmLogin_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { string application_id = "123456789012345"; browserLogin.Navigate("https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize" + "?client_id=" + application_id + "&redirect_uri=http://www.facebook.com/connect/login_success.html" + "&type=user_agent" + "&display=popup" ); } private void browserLogin_DocumentCompleted(object sender, WebBrowserDocumentCompletedEventArgs e) { if (browserLogin.Document.Url.ToString().Contains("access_token")) { string token = String.Empty; string URL = browserLogin.Document.Url.ToString(); token = URL.Substring(URL.IndexOf("access_token") + 13); token = token.Substring(0, token.IndexOf("&")); // Received access token this.Tag = token; this.DialogResult = DialogResult.OK; } }
