copied!<p>I've decided to post this answer, because I was curious myself about how I would go about doing this through C#, because I'm trying to teach myself it at the moment.</p> <p>None of the code is tested, but I just hoped that I could use information from the web to try to put something basic together, that with a little bit of tweaking might get something working for you.</p> <p>Just in case you haven't found it yet you'll find the Facebook C# SDK and an example <a href="https://github.com/facebook/csharp-sdk/blob/master/examples/Program.cs" rel="nofollow">here</a></p> <p>In order for a user to manage a page, they must follow the authentication flow specified in the docs <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p> <p>To do this, you request the user to authorise your app using your APP_ID as normal, but you'll need the permissions manage_pages and publish_stream:</p> <pre><code>https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth? client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&scope=manage_pages,publish_stream& response_type=token </code></pre> <p>So by whatever means possible (a browser window?), you must get a user to accept the permissions, to allow your application to access the user's pages.</p> <p>From then on, once the user has accepted, you can make simple API calls (get and POST) as shown in the example, at the moment it's showing:</p> <pre><code>JSONObject me = api.Get("/4"); Console.WriteLine(me.Dictionary["name"].String); </code></pre> <p>This is the user_id '4', Mark Zuckerberg.</p> <p>So by looking at the C# SDK Core, there is a function called api.MakeRequest(), so I'm guessing that you do something similar to this:</p> <pre><code>using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Windows.Forms; using Facebook; namespace FacebookSampleApp { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { // Get an access token in some manner. // By default you can only get public info. string token = null; Facebook.FacebookAPI api = new Facebook.FacebookAPI(token); var parameters = new Dictionary { { "message", 'Wow, I love Google!' }, { "name" , 'Google' }, { "description" , 'Description of post' }, { "picture", 'http://www.google.com/logo.png' }, { "caption" , 'This is google.com' }, { "link" , 'http://www.google.com' }, { "type" , "link" } }; JSONObject wallPost = api.MakeRequest("/[PAGE_ID]/feed", 'POST', parameters); } } } </code></pre> <p>I have no doubts that this code won't work straight off, it's going to take some trial and error, but I hope that I've managed to help you in some way.</p> <p>Random Sources:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jamescrowley.co.uk/2011/02/03/posting-to-facebook-page-using-c-sdk-from-offline-app/" rel="nofollow">http://www.jamescrowley.co.uk/2011/02/03/posting-to-facebook-page-using-c-sdk-from-offline-app/</a> http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/ <a href="https://github.com/facebook/csharp-sdk/blob/master/examples/Program.cs" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/facebook/csharp-sdk/blob/master/examples/Program.cs</a> http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/?method=GET&path=2439131959 <a href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/" rel="nofollow">http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/page/</a></p>
