How to Use the Facebook Developer Toolkit 2.0

Introduction

This snippet is just the start of a series of articles written to explain the most commonly used features of the Facebook Developer Toolkit API. I promised Brian Goldfarb that I would help support the community, and I intend to follow through. Thanks to Microsoft for supporting social networking development using the .NET framework!

With that said, let's get started.

Download the Facebook Developer Toolkit. Here is a link to the CodePlex Project.

Once you have the binaries on your local disk, we need to set up our Facebook application.

The process is actually quite simple. First we need to install the "Developer" application, provided by Facebook.

Here is a link - Facebook Developer Application

Launch the Developer application and click "Set Up New Application" in the top right hand corner.

You will see the following screen. I have filled in the necessary fields, but here is a quick rundown.

1. Application Name - You must pick one.
2. Callback URL - This is the address of your hosted facebook application.
3. Canvas Page URL - Give your application a nice, memorable address on Facebook.

Facebook is a social networking website launched on February 4, 2004.[1] The free-access website is privately owned and operated by Facebook, Inc. Users can join networks organized by city, workplace, school, and region to connect and interact with other people. People can also add friends and send them messages, and update their personal profile to notify friends about themselves. The website's name refers to the paper facebooks depicting members of a campus community that some US colleges and preparatory schools give to incoming students, faculty, and staff as a way to get to know other people on campus.
