Question

to post updates to twitter i am using the following code.

OAuthTokens tokens = new OAuthTokens();
tokens.AccessToken = // My access token //;
tokens.AccessTokenSecret = // My access token secret //;
tokens.ConsumerKey = // My consumer key //;
tokens.ConsumerSecret = // My consumer secret//;
TwitterResponse<TwitterStatus> tweetResponse = TwitterStatus.Update(tokens, "Hello, #Twitterizer");

Can any one help me with code to post status updates to twitter

Answer 1

And you also need to register yours app as read/write (default is readonly) ,

Or you would always receive the 401 error code.

Good luck.

UPDATE:

Ok , This is my code.

First is the Utility class , I think you could found a lot of such method in the internet.

class Auth {
        const string REQUEST_TOKEN_URL = "https://twitter.com/oauth/request_token";
        const string ACCESS_TOKEN_URL = "https://twitter.com/oauth/access_token";
        const string AUTHORIZE_URL = "https://twitter.com/oauth/authorize";

        private Random random = new Random();

        public string ConsumerKey { get; private set; }
        public string ConsumerSecret { get; private set; }
        public string RequestToken { get; private set; }
        public string RequestTokenSecret { get; private set; }
        public string AccessToken { get; private set; }
        public string AccessTokenSecret { get; private set; }
        public string UserId { get; private set; }
        public string ScreenName { get; private set; }

        public Auth(string consumerKey, string consumerSecret) {
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;
            ConsumerKey = consumerKey;
            ConsumerSecret = consumerSecret;
        }

        public Auth(string consumerKey, string consumerSecret, string accessToken, string accessTokenSecret, string userId, string screenName) {
            ServicePointManager.Expect100Continue = false;
            ConsumerKey = consumerKey;
            ConsumerSecret = consumerSecret;
            AccessToken = accessToken;
            AccessTokenSecret = accessTokenSecret;
            UserId = userId;
            ScreenName = screenName;
        }

        public void GetRequestToken() {

            string signature = GenerateSignature("", "GET", REQUEST_TOKEN_URL, parameters);
            parameters.Add("oauth_signature", UrlEncode(signature));

            return Convert.ToInt64(ts.TotalSeconds).ToString();
        }
    }

This is console app , u can use it to get token by pincode

class Program {
    const string CONSUMER_KEY = "yours CONSUMER_KEY";
    const string CONSUMER_SECRET = "yours CONSUMER_SECRET";

    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Auth auth = new Auth(CONSUMER_KEY, CONSUMER_SECRET);


        auth.GetRequestToken();


        Console.WriteLine("Get PinCode from here.");
        Console.WriteLine(auth.GetAuthorizeUrl());
        Console.Write("PinCode：");
        string pin = Console.ReadLine().Trim();

        auth.GetAccessToken(pin);


    Console.WriteLine("AccessToken: " + auth.AccessToken);
    Console.WriteLine("AccessTokenSecret: " + auth.AccessTokenSecret);
    Console.WriteLine("UserId: " + auth.UserId);
    Console.WriteLine("ScreenName: " + auth.ScreenName);


        Console.WriteLine("yours status.");
        string status = Console.ReadLine();
        parameters.Clear();
        parameters.Add("status", auth.UrlEncode(status));
        Console.WriteLine(auth.Post("http://twitter.com/statuses/update.xml", parameters));
    }
}

Then you can use yours token and token secret for next .
