VB.Net with Facebook C# SDK Access Token example

Throughout digging in to internet finally i am writing this for VB.net geeks:

Step1 : Install FB C# SDK through Nuget in Visual studio 2010. (Install Nuget first if dont have)

Step2: Creat new VB.new Windows Project.

Step3. Right click project >  Manage Nuget Packages (Its below add reference)

Now you are ready to have reference to use FB C# SDK in Vb.Net App without creating/converting DLL.

Open your Form.vb
and import Facebook.

Here is an simple example to get detail of any fb userid.


Imports Facebook
Public Class Form1

    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load

   Dim fb = New FacebookClient()

        Dim result = fb.[Get]("oauth/access_token", New With { _

         .client_id = "311353800176", _

         .client_secret = "d343aa747b817606a943430584899c73", _

         .grant_type = "client_credentials" _

        })  'Get these details from your app developer page of fb

        Dim accesstoken As String = result(0).ToString

        TextBox1.Text = "Access Token " & accesstoken & vbCrLf 'access token

End Sub

End Class
