I agree with Andrew, Bojan.  Your work was invaluable to me and I'm
sure it has been to others as well.  Don't let one ungrateful user run
you off.

 Bojan,

 I think it's unfortunate that one childish jerk would be enough of a
 pain to cause you to shut down your project, especially considering
 all the other people who've talked about how helpful you've been.

 I've only barely used/looked at your work, but even so, it's offered
 value to me. I certainly don't think you've been wasting your time.

 Hey dude,

 I'm using version 0.1 of your DLL because 0.3 did not compile in

 I've got everyting working because it posts updates without spaces you

 hell of a lot of different methods to make a post with spaces - all

 something what works?


Wow, when did this turn into BOJAN RAJKOVIC's personal line?

There are plenty of .NET libraries out there. Check out LinqToTwitter.

By the way, when it's free, you're definitely getting what you pay for.

Since it is his library I am using which needs a fix. I am asking him
two things;

1. Is this a known error in 0.1
2. When will 0,3 turn into a working version.

So, what was your input again?

Furthermore - I have wrote an entire program with full Twitter
Interfacing from Searching to Following to Finally Updating and now I
find I cannot post spaces with the library.

I cannot rewrite my entire code base because you suggest LINQ2Twitter.

I am using this guys library and he really needs to get it sorted for
me and the rest of his user base.

Basically, my only work around is to replace spaces with an underscore

That works.

But it looks like garbage.

2009-08-13 Thread Andrew Badera

Perhaps you need to reconsider your design abstractions -- you should
be able to virtually plug and play. You should have an assembly
sitting between your app and the Twitter library, if you're using
third party, and use your intermediary assembly as an adapter or
facade. That makes it a lot simpler to swap the library on the
backend. You can also use interfaces for this sort of purpose; I
prefer the separate assembly because it reduces regression testing
needs when you make changes later. Single-purpose-ish principle.

Have you tried encoding the spaces before sending them into his library?

Yeah - after much searching I discovered the URL encoding for space is
%2B - but this still did not work.

I really think there is a problem with oauth.WebRequest() in the DLL?

how to use it either (that Rackovic wrote)
