As long as your app is registered with Twitter with an appropriate name, and you're using your consumer key and secret, the "from [yourapp]" should be automatic with OAuth. If it's not, it's probably a bug/temporary issue. I'm using OAuthBase.cs myself with no problems with source at the moment:
http://twitter.com/andrewbadera/status/3447332737 However, is what you provide all of your code? With OAuth you don't use the username/password, you use the authorization URL to pass the user to Twitter, where they can approve access for your app. Twitter then redirects them back to your callback url (which you can provide at call time as oauth_callback rather than use the setting in the Twitter application registry) where it also POSTs the access token and secret for the user. You then make your request using your consumer token values PLUS the user token values. Your token values identify your service or app, the user token identify the user. Username/password is only for Basic Auth, and Basic Auth only shows "from [app]" if the app predates OAuth. Http Basic is in the process of slowly, slowly being deprecated. When you provide the username/password but not the user token/secret, I believe that class defaults to Http Basic Auth. ∞ Andy Badera ∞ This email is: [ ] bloggable [x] ask first [ ] private ∞ Google me: http://www.google.com/search?q=(andrew+badera)+OR+(andy+badera) On Thu, Aug 20, 2009 at 8:27 AM, Kuntal<kuntal.mazum...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Hello All, > > I want to show updates are <from my web application name> instead of > "from web" > > We want to integrate the status update system of twitter in our web > application which is made in .NET Framework 2.0.
