.NET Micro Framework (Archive)

Somebody asked if I could make a  Twitter Client for .NET Micro Framework. Afcourse I said, so I started building and within a few hours it’s ready. A simple but yet usefull Twitter Client.

This Twitter client allows you  to view your “friends” timeline. This is the timeline that you see when you go to your startpage. It’s shows your Twit’s and the Twit’s of the friends you follow.

The program consists of two parts. The Twitter library (It’s less fancy than it’s sound. It has only one function ) and the WPF display program.

It has some known impovements and issues, as this program is something in between it’s your task to fix it if you want

• Twitter Username and password are stored in code, impovement can me made with an onscreen keyboard
• The XML response is parsed “in order” so when fields are outputted in an different order
  the parser has to be changed
• The XML response is parsed “in order” so when fields are outputted in an different order the parser has to be changed
• The somewhat strange datetime format of Twitter is parsed without checking the UTC offset. I don’t think this is a problem. It seems that Twitter always returns Date/Time with UTC +0000
• It doesn’t check if Twit’s are removed. It just removes the last one when the list gets bigger then 25
• Profile images cache could be better
• Many more

You can whatch a Youtube video below. The interface is fluwent but Windows Media Encoder screwed it up a little. Maybe I will make a new version with my camera and a real device:
