Hello friends,

I have to work one functionality in my asp.net application. I want to update status message of particular user's facebook profile.

Is there any FaceBook API, through which i can pass the user's username , password and status message so it can directly updated it on facebook?

Thanks in advance

There are quite a few available:

I've used 'Facebook.Net' before which was quite easy going
http://facebooknet.codeplex.com/[^]

You're going to have to add the 'Developer' application to your facebook account + create an application to generate an API Key & Secret. You then use these within the Facebook.Net API to allow connections and access to facebook information.

Loads of reading material available on the facebook developer wiki site

Made the links provided as hyperlinks instead of just texts.

The formatting went crazy for some reason & kept trying to wrap everything in a CSS pre tag!

Hi Friend

Thanks for your reply. I do not want to create application in facebook account. I want to update the status message of any user's profile by just passing the user's username and password on facebook. I do not want to place any Facebook connect button on my user interface. I want to do this directly in my code.

Please provide me more information if you have.

Thanks in advance again,

Jitendra

If you want to access facebook via code, you'll still need to go through the above process.

Obviously, your application will have to logon as the user and then change the status.

Facebook.Net can do this easily, but the Application Key + Secret are required in order to access the API.
