I’ve been working on a .NET library to retrieve all images from a users Twitpic account. I thought it would be quite a useful .NET library to have since there have been some users requesting one (including me) on some websites and forums.

I will note that this is NOT a completely functioning Twitpic library that makes use of all API requests that have been listed on Twitpic’s developer site. Currently, the library only contains core integration on returning information of a specified user (users/show), enough to create a nice picture gallery.

My Twitpic .NET library will return the following information:

ID
Twitter ID
Location
Website
Biography
Avatar URL
Image Timestamp
Photo Count
Images

Code Example:

private void PopulateGallery()
{
    var hasMoreRecords = false;

    //Twitpic.Get(<username>, <page-number>)
    TwitpicUser tu = Twitpic.Get("sbhomra", 1);

    if (tu != null)
    {
        if (tu.PhotoCount > 20)
            hasMoreRecords = true;

        if (tu.Images != null && tu.Images.Count > 0)
        {
            //Bind Images to Repeater
            TwitPicImages.DataSource = tu.Images;
            TwitPicImages.DataBind();
        }
        else
        {
            TwitPicImages.Visible = false;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        TwitPicImages.Visible = false;
    }
}

From using the code above as a basis, I managed to create a simple Photo Gallery of my own: /Photos.aspx
