I am keep having the “No overload for method ‘GenerateSignature’ takes 9 arguments” problem. Can you please tell me what is wrong with this class.
This code is the sample from the Oauth.net . I think it too old for my asp.net 3.5 or 4.0.

There are two overloads for GenerateSignature. One has 10 parameters:
And one has 11:
Now there are two options here. The “get it working quickly” option is just to make your code actually call one of the existing signatures. In this case, I believe you just need the two
outparameters at the end – but you don’t need theSignatureTypes.HMACSHA1argument, as the overload with 10 parameters uses that anyway.However, the better option is to change the design of your class. 11 parameters, two of them being
outparameters, is a pretty horrible signature to work with.Encapsulate the incoming parameters in one class – possibly just one with a bunch of automatically implemented properties – and encapsulate the return values (the two out parameters and the existing string return value) in another class. That will make it much easier to work with. In fact, you may want to split the incoming parameters into sections, rather than just one class with 9 properties. If some of the properties change between requests but some are always the same, that may be a useful point at which to split the class up.
