How to get started with the Facebook C# SDK for WP7?

Question

I\'ve been reading alot (and searching alot) but can not find a decent resource for getting started with Facebook C# SDK for WP7. I\'m NOT looking for a handout

Answer 1

When I looked last month, they didn't exist. You already found the desktop library that someone at Facebook put a little tiny bit of effort into. It's not a lot of code and you can use it as a reference. The only thing that stops it compiling for WP7 is some code dealing with string encoding. You can work around this fairly easily.

Answer 2

Sample code is no longer available in the SDK itself. Head over to the blog to read up on creating your first app.

Writing your first Facebook Application

This is written for all platforms but it does mention any specifics you need to know for Phone 7 as well.

Answer 3

There is a Windows Phone 7 specific sample in the Facebook C# SDK library:

Samples/CSWinPhone7SimpleApp.sln

It shows how to authentificate a user.
