Where did FacebookOAuthClient go?

Question

I just "upgraded" to 6.1.0 of the c# SDK and found that the FacebookAuthClient has been removed. I checked the commit log on github and there's not much info there.

Does anyone know how you are supposed to authenticate with the latest version of the SDK?

Answer 1

It has been removed.

Starting with v6 you can now use it with normal FacebookClient.Get() method. http://csharpsdk.org/docs/faq.html
