Re: New Facebook Connect in C#

I am a newbie to Facebook APIs. I have a question. If I add FB connect in my website and allow people to login using it along with a normal login, how I will synchronize the users? Means I have a login credential for the site and I also have Facebook account. I want to use both of them according to user's choice. What can be the besy way around? Can I grab the email address of the user who is using FB connect?

I built a great base sample C# asp.net project that allows you to register and then creates strongly typed Facebook objects such as a person object with first name last name. It is very simple

Alright, I think I got it...
In case anybody else has the same problem: I create a new ConnectSession and Api instance (using the Toolkit), then populate it with the SessionKey and UserId from Nathan's ConnectService class:

var connectSession = new Facebook.Session.ConnectSession(API_KEY, APP_SECRET);

var api = new Facebook.Rest.Api(_connectSession);
api.Session.SessionKey = ConnectService.SessionKey;
api.Session.UserId = (long)ConnectService.UserId;

Hey Nathan. Thanks for sharing, this is exactly what I've been looking for!

I've been implementing the FacebookDevelopmentToolkit for logging in, offline publishing etc., and obviously switching to the new SDK was a major show stoppper.

One question, though: I am able to login just fine, leaving me with the SessionKey and UserId of the logged in user. But how do I get from there to making API requests using the Toolkit?
The Facebook.Rest.Api constructor takes a FacebookSession object as an argument, and I'm not quite sure how to get there.
I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but if you could point me in the right direction that'd be swell.
Thanks in advance!

This will work somewhat with the old facebook toolkit. You can't use the old toolkit for login with the new cookie format from Facebook, but you can use this new authentication approach and once you have the session for the user you can use the toolkit to make api requests using the old Facebook Toolkit.

Re: New Facebook Connect in C#

The IConnectService is just an interface I have for dependency injection. It is not needed to make the sample work.

Awesome, thanks so much for adding this, I would have never got it sorted all by myself.

Here is a basic example of how I am using:

Homepage:

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>

<script>
FB.init({
appId: 'YOUR APP ID',
status: true, // check login status
cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml: true // parse XFBML
});
FB.Event.subscribe('auth.sessionChange', function(response) {
if (response.session) {
// A user has logged in, and a new cookie has been saved
window.location = "FbAutoLogin.aspx"

} else {
// The user has logged out, and the cookie has been cleared

window.location = "Fail.aspx"

}
});

</script>
<fb:login-button>Login with Facebook</fb:login-button>

Then code behind for FbAutoLogin.aspx

ConnectService connectService = new ConnectService();

if (connectService.IsConnected())
{

Response.Write("Connected");

}
else {
Response.Write("Not Connected");

}

Great job. Can you provide us with a sample we application? Btw, you've used IConnectService, but you didn't mentioned anything about it.

Thanks for the update! I am having an issue though. I can see the Cookie using Firebug, it's there. However, the check for the cookie in the code fails. I switched back to the "old code" and it works. The only thing that jumped out was the the old cookies had "Session" under the experiation column, the new cookie has a set date. Any thoughts?

Re: New Facebook Connect in C#

Nathan Totten — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 13:57:18 -0000

To get the cookie you use facebook's Javascript SDK. Basically you have to call two things. First, FB.init(..). Then when the use clicks the Facebook Connect button you call FB.login(..). The login call will cause a popup that will ask the user to either login with the fb credentials or connect to your site. The facebook javascript sdk will actually do the work of making the cookie for you. After the user has connected you redirect the user to your 'login" page. The page will then use the above code to read the cookie. Then you will want to also log them in using the standard ASP.NET FormsAuthentication.SetAuthCookie(userName, createPersistentCookie) method. This way you will be able to use standard ASP.NET security tools to restrict access to your pages. Let me know if that makes sense or if you have any other questions.

See this page for more information: http://developers.facebook.com...

Thanks for this! Are you using the javascript sdk to get the cookie or something else, i.e.-how are you getting the FB cookie in the first place? Thanks!

What a coincidence. You write a blog entry about Radiohead and just a couple of months later, you're sitting at the Olin Weekend discussing a case study pertaining to the same thing.

First of all, thanks for the interesting article and good advices. I work the software company for several months and I know that they use really good Customer Relationship Management software. The software which they use cost a lot of money but I think that it was reasonable for them. I will talk tomorrow about it more with my friend, just interesting. Thanks for the great post and I will be waiting for other great posts from you.
