Linq to twitter error

I'd like to retrieve an user's statuses to display them in a listbox (in a webform). Here is my code :

var twitterCtx = new TwitterContext();

var publicTweets =
from tweet in twitterCtx.Status
where tweet.Type == StatusType.User && tweet.ScreenName == txtName.Text
select tweet.Text;

_status = publicTweets.ToList();

But it crashes at the last line with the following message : Input string was not in a correct format.

Why?

How can I do this correctly?

Cordially,

Solution

  • I have tried your code and it worked. Try to exactly specify tweet.ScreenName with some constant string:

    tweet.ScreenName == "username"

    One more variant to try is tweet.ID == "username".
