How do I read a public twitter feed using .Net
- by Jeff Weber
I'm trying to read the public twitter status of a user so I can display it in my Windows Phone application.
I'm using Scott Gu's example:
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2010/03/18/building-a-windows-phone-7-twitter-application-using-silverlight.aspx
When my code comes back from the async call, I get a "System.Security.SecurityException" as soon as I try to use the e.Result.
I know my uri is correct because I can plop it in the browser and get good results.
Here is my relavent code:
public void LoadNewsLine()
{
WebClient twitter = new WebClient();
twitter.DownloadStringCompleted += new DownloadStringCompletedEventHandler(twitter_DownloadStringCompleted);
twitter.DownloadStringAsync(new Uri("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=krashlander"));
}
void twitter_DownloadStringCompleted(object sender, DownloadStringCompletedEventArgs e)
{
XElement xmlTweets = XElement.Parse(e.Result); //exception thrown here!
var message = from tweet in xmlTweets.Descendants("status")
select tweet.Element("text").Value;
//Set message and tell UI to update.
//NewsLine = message.ToString();
//RaisePropertyChanged("NewsLine");
}
Any ideas anyone?
