Manage Facebook Page tab apps via Open Graph API?

Question

I have been investigating the Facebook Open Graph API. There is a \"manage pages\" extended permission which allows publishing to a user\'s Facebook Page news feed/wall via \"im

There's a way to do it via the API. We finally got it to work, after many hours of sweat and tears :)

You can add a tab to a page without leaving your app. Here's a snippet of code that we used for that. We get a list of pages that a user manages, show them in a drop down and ask them to select what page they want to add our "my agent profile" tab to.

And the final product looks something like this - http://www.facebook.com/pages/Jennifer-Anderson-Real-Estate-Agent/185071901564573?sk=app_253956901293839

protected void btnAddTab_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    if (ddlPage2.SelectedIndex >= 0)
    {
        FaceBookPages page = FaceBookPages.LookupByPageID(long.Parse(ddlPage2.SelectedValue));
        if (page == null)
            throw new NPlaySysException("FaceBookPages is null.");

        AnalyticLog log = new AnalyticLog();
        log.EventID = FBCommon.Events.AddAgentAppTabID;
        log.UserID = UserID;
        log.EventTime = DateTime.Now;
        log.Update();

        string result = FacebookSvc.AddTab(Web.AgentAppID, "me", page.AccessToken);
        if (result.Equals("true"))
        {
            FaceBookPages.UpdateAgentProfileAdded(page.PageID, true);
            List notTabbedPages = FaceBookPages.LookupAgentProfileNotAddedByUserID(UserID);

            imgStep3.ImageUrl = StepDoneImagePath;
            divStep3.Attributes["class"] = StepDoneCssClass;
            phStep3.Visible = false;
            Step3Done = true;
            btnCloseStep3.Visible = false;

            if (notTabbedPages.Count > 0)
                btnEditStep3.Visible = true;
            else
                btnEditStep3.Visible = false;
        }
        else
        {
            lblErrorAddTab.Text = "Failed to add your profile to page.";
            Web.EmailError(string.Format("FacebookSvc.AddTab Failed. result={0}
UserID={1}
PageID={2}", result, UserID, page.PageID));
        }
    }
