I have to implement facebook login and also want to get logged in user's information like birthday, firstname, Email address.
I have already done some other stuff like recent activities etc of facebook using javascript SDK of facebook.
i am developing application in ASP.Net (C#).
How can i get user information, Please provide me any idea.
Once the user's logged in and you asked for extended permissions (you can use Javascript to do that) you get an access token and then you can call the Facebook graph API. This is server side.
FB do not offer a C# SDK for their API so you will have to find one (or make you own)
see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api

I'm using .NET backend on Azure Mobile Service. It's easy to set up authentication with social identity provider, so that the client can use e.g. Facebook iOS SDK to login, as illustrated in the official tutorial
In custom authentication, as I need to maintain my own Account table according to the official tutorial, I have full control over the registration & login.
I'd like to have a centralized User table to store information about all users, no matter which channel they used to authenticate.
My question is, is there a way for the .NET backend to be notified when a user register or login with a Facebook token? So that a new row can be added to the centralized User table even when the user is using Facebook to authenticate?
Thank you!
Yes - the User.GetIdentities() method contains the token and mechanism that was used to authenticate the user. You can use this to update your table. For an overview of how to use this token, see this blog post by the team: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/custom-login-scopes-single-sign-on-new-asp-net-web-api-updates-to-the-azure-mobile-services-net-backend/
how to finish off logging in with facebook account (and keep those details in membership db). I was reading around that one needs to get user's email, of course adding any email or name in txt box will not validate ... however it is possible to add it as another service after user logged in with any other method like google or so...
so how do i change the code to get user's email pulled from fb whilst using built in oauth model in .net 4.5
I am implementing Facebook login on my website. I am creating an asp.net user as well with the Facebook users details. This way I can control login in people to my site using .NET membership regardless of whether they are a Facebook user or not.
The problem I am facing now is security. When a user logs in with Facebook I am calling a webservice with their facebook details, if the user exists on the system (by their facebook userid) then I log them in. However as it stands anyone could call the webservice with someone elses facebook id and it would log them in (if that user existed on the system). Is there something that I can use to link the facebook user with my asp.net user that is only accessible to that user, such as an access token. It also needs to be something which does not change? Does facebook send back such a thing in the response object?
Any help or suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks
Yes, we can get that profile data from Facebook. Using that requestAccessToken Url you can get that access token.
requestAccessTokenurl="https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id={0} redirect_uri={1};client_secret={2};code={3}"
Also we can get the Profile Data using this access token
requestProfileUrl="https://graph.facebook.com/me"
please see this link- http://easyoauth.codeplex.com/
you can download the source code also :)
We have implemented for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google using this framework. It is very straight forward. I can help you how to do this.
Thanks
I have a registration-login system on my own website yet I want to add Facebook Connect too. I have some required parts of my user table as:
Username
Password
Email
The first thing that came to my mind is, setting userId as username, userId#facebook.com as email and setting the password to null and check if a record exists with these details in my user table. If not insert a new user with these details, if exists return that user details.
Is this a good design? How should I connect facebook connect to my website?
Thank you
I would suggest you to take this into a more deep ASP.NET, and start an MVC project
then use the Microsoft Facebook API SDK to play around with the API, it's very easy and because they are using the new dynamic type, now that Facebook changed the Open Graph, it will continue to work great as well.
in your login page, add a facebook login button and ask for permissions, for example:
<fb:login-button perms="email" size="medium">
redirect-uri="http://yourdomain.com/FBLogin/"
Subscribe using Facebook</fb:login-button>
in your FBLogin controller, login the user using the FB credentials, if the user uses your normal form, use the normal login
If you create a custom MemberShip Provider, you can easily use that for both accesses... I write a simple start to a custom Membership provider here
I want to support the following scenarios on my ASP.NET MVC website:
First time visitor wants to
register, via facebook connect. I'd
like the user to have an entry in my
user membership table - so I have
them enter a username/password
(email gets populated via facebook
connect).
Registered user returns to my
site, logged into facebook already.
I'd like my site to see they're
logged into facebook already and
auto log them into my membership
system.
Registered user returns to my
site, but is not logged into
facebook. I'd like to give them two
options: to log into my site
directly or use facebook connect.
Extra:
After a user has connected their
facebook account to my site, I'd
like to use their facebook profile
photo throughout my site where the
user has participated.
I'd also like to post a bit of text, maybe even a photo, to the user's wall (when they perform an action of course).
Couple questions:
What should I store to tie the user's id in my membership system to their facebook account? I'm assuming it would be their facebook user id.
Can this facebook C# SDK handle these scenarios?
Yes you would store their Facebook Id and Yes the API can support this.
