I know that nobody in the world would even read this - yet - but I'm excited about it!
I've made it RIDICULOUSLY easy! I've added support for iFrame & FBML applications and all you have to do is add an ActionFilterAttribute to your Controller Action!
The code looks something like this:
[Facebook.Web.Mvc.InitializeIframeAction]
public ActionResult Index(Facebook.API.FacebookAPI facebookAPI)
After that you have complete access to the FacebookAPI that is part of the Facebook Developer Toolkit (FBDT).
Nick Berardi started trying to do the same thing with the FBDT but realized that they had an inheritance model for getting ASPX pages to work correctly which doesn't work well with microsoft's MVC model . He moved to the Facebook.NET framework because it was more object based. I feel like I've created a better domain model for the FBDT!
note: I was originally going to base my MVC implementation on Castle's Monorail since Microsoft's MVC teams is working with the folks at Castle. I did have some issues with getting both MVC frameworks to work correctly in a shared-hosting environment but ultimately Microsoft's MVC architecture had an easier fix...I get into it more when I write my real article...this is just me being excited that I'm done with my first version and Xodel (my software development company) can release some real software for the first time since I created it!
