What about C# / Java Classes for Open Social

[Prometheus18]

This Sunday I was watching the video about opensocial and I was
wondering if we can expect APIS developed in C# and JAva?

Fortunately, unfortunately no. you are expected to code your client in JS and asynchronous calls to the Google server.

If you are talking about asp.net controls, that's not provided either. In my personal opinion I'd say you run away from these. In most cases you will be worrying about viewstate the rest of your app life.

For my project I have developed server side controls using c# and webservices and called them using JS. The reason why I went for such a design was opensocial's clumsy persistence API (forgive my ignorance).

cheers,

Hey folks,

If you'd prefer to build an OpenSocial app using Java, you could take a look at: http://www.ongwt.com/post/2007/11/04/gOpenSocial-%3A-GWT-wrapper-for-OpenSocial

It looks like Didier has provided an Java API that can be called from an application being built with Google Web Toolkit (GWT): http://code.google.com/gwt/

Hey Thomas
By any chance do you have any samples of the asP.net Controls
that you built?My application will not be a gadget it will be a stand
alone
web application.Therefore I want to use ASP.NET to develop some
component
to my portal.

Thanks for you fast response

By any chance do you have any sample of you code available?
Yeah I was talking about

After the Data APIs are launched we will be releasing client libraries
to be able to make server-to-server calls from a variety of languages
- including .NET/C#. These will be similar to the .NET libraries that
are currently available for other products on code.google.com.

Great that's what I was expecting to hear.
