try replacing the space character with + so before setting your update something like this tweet = Replace(tweet, ,+) the problem you are having is probably related to url encoding of the transmitted message On Aug 13, 7:23 pm, catcalls g.obrzut3...@ntlworld.com wrote: Oh, the problem is the DLL.

Hi Catcalls, Not sure if you tried my library, LINQ to Twitter (http:// linqtotwitter.codeplex.com/). I recently found a bug that was keeping it from working for VB because of the way that the compiler was generating code, so it's possible that I'm the lazy coder you're trashing and being rude to. grin / My primary language is C#, so I would like to get more VB programmers to use the library and give me feedback. I can't guarantee that I'll fix everything immediately, but over time I can help make the library more useful. Also, if you're using OAuth, Andrew Arnott has integrated his DotNetOpenAuth (http:// dotnetopenauth.net:8000/), which is an excellent library itself.

I have that last one, but all the zeros are at the wrong end of the number :( catcalls... Please stop complaining. It's clear from your posts in this thread and others that you really don't have the first clue what you're talking about, whether it's related to writing code or how to be polite to other people who are actually trying very hard to help you. Nobody owes you anything. From where I'm sitting you have a number of options... 1) Put some real effort into getting the latest version of your chosen library to work - complaining that an old version is broken is not smart. Refusing to use the latest version is worse. Continuing to be rude and obnoxious after you've been treated with undeserved respect is indefensible. 2) Write your own library - everything you need to do this is readily available and it's not particularly difficult to get something working, but it is difficult to get it right. Once you've done this you might appreciate the work of others a bit more. 3) Find another library and try that - but please don't complain that it doesn't work unless you've either paid for it or the author has actually asked for your opinion. And even if you've paid for it please allow for the possibility that you might be getting it wrong. My first assumption is always that I've done something wrong and that's served me well over the years. 4) Put your keyboard and mouse down then go outside and play with the other children. I think we'd all give a collective sigh of relief if you chose option number 4, but unfortunately I really don't see it happening. -Stuart -- http://stut.net/

Catcalls, Check out Quitter: http://code.google.com/p/quitter-client/ Quitter is a Twitter client that's 100% Visual Basic.NET with a working implementation of OAuth. The classes that are specifically for talking to Twitter are in the TwitterVB namespace/folder. Everything else is the client that I've built on those components. For the record, I started out using the excellent c# Twitterizer library (http://code.google.com/p/twitterizer/). I wanted to add OAuth, so I ported Twitterizer to VB.NET and implemented OAuth afterwards.

Hi all, After the recent furor over my OAuth implementation, I've decided to end the project. I don't have the time to maintain it currently (real life work is keeping me busy), and upon some reflection after today's outburst, I've come to feel like I've wasted my time working on the project. If you'd like the source code, just shoot me an e-mail, I'd be more than happy to send you a current SVN checkout (that you can import into another repo and continue working from, if you want, though I can't guarantee anything about the commit history. If you know of a way to export history, please let me know). Many thanks to everyone who's helped me and who's supported me in these threads. --B.
