Twitterizer.TwitterUser.IsFollowing returns null

I am using Twitterizer to integrate Twitter into my ASP.NET app. After authenticating the user I am using following code to see if the authenticated user is following a specific user:

Twitterizer.TwitterUser followed = new Twitterizer.TwitterUser();
followed.ScreenName = tw_current_like;
bool? Following = followed.IsFollowing;

However Following.HasValue is always false. Am I missing something?

Solution

  • As I stated on the forums. Instantiating TwitterUser will not fetch any data from Twitter.

    Also, the Twitter API is spotty in how/when it supplies the following indicator. You can use TwitterFriendship.Show(OAuthTokens, decimal/string) to query details about the relationship between the authenticated user and another user.
