Facebook Connect Sample Overview

The Facebook Connect Sample is designed to quickly get users up and running by creating an ASP.NET web site with Facebook Connect integration via the Facebook Developer Toolkit.  The sample demonstrates how to register a new Facebook application, import the Facebook Developer Toolkit assembly, and create a simple ASP.NET web site.  The guide also gives examples of how to post data to a Facebook account and how to retrieve and bind Facebook Developer Toolkit objects to ASP.NET web controls.

The resulting sample project loads a Facebook Connect login button which can be fully integrated into an existing web site.  The user is then prompted to login to Facebook via a popup window, and the authenticated user is returned to the web site.  The sample allows creation of a Facebook Event, granting of the “create_event” extended permission by a user, and shows how to bind Event RSVP statuses to an ASP.NET ListView control.
