Can I use the facebook API to make a windows desktop application? Like create a chat client to use to chat with facebook users??
yes, while I have not done it myself, there seem to be standalone apps developed for facebook like FaceoffIM... so I am assuming you can.
If I remember correctly, Telerik is maintaining something in Silverlight called fdek... which would again mean in principle it is possible.
There is also a Facebook C# SDK available on Codeplex which might be of use... under its project description it states "The Facebook C# SDK helps .Net developers build web, desktop, Silverlight, and Windows Phone 7 applications that integrate with Facebook."
Yes, you can develop desktop applications that interact with the Facebook API's.
You can use the C# SDK which is introduced in this official blog post https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/395
Basically, any desktop application just needs to send http web requests to the Facebook API's. The easiest would be to use the the Graph API (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/)
Hope this helps.

Finally, I found the solution at aadhar birdge APIs.

In my win-fourms application, I would like to do something like to use the account password similarly to how apple has the touch id API. I could not find any information on this. Here is an example I saw in the built in groove music app in windows 10:
Thank you!
When Microsoft built the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) they built in an authentication library that allows you to use user's Microsoft Accounts. There is no built in support for this in WinForms or WPF apps.
However, you can use the Microsoft OAuth endpoint to accomplish the same thing, it just won't look the same (requires a browser popup for starters). More information can be found here:

The code basically requires doing a bunch of REST calls and providing a listening socket for an asynchronous response.
I am learning development for Windows Universal Platform and I wanted to create a simple app capable of leveraging some Spotify data once the user logs in.
I can see from the documentation that there is an SDK for Android and iOS, and a library that is considered deprecated.
Do you guys know if there is any way for me to still communicate with the Spotify API using .NET/C# ?
Thanks a lot,
Florian
There doesn't seem to be a SDK from Spotify, but there are references to WebApi .Net Wrappers at the bottom of this official page:
Spotify Web API Wrapper on Codeplex
Spotify Web API Wrapper on GitHub
I'm planning to write an application in c# in visual stuio 2013 that will allow a facebook user to login and receive their facebook notifications straight to the desktop as popups. Ive searched around and cannot seem to find whether or not it is possible to get notifications from facebook as soon as they happen and react to them in a suitable way, i'm wondering if this is possible and which bits of the api/ sdk i would need to use to get this to work.
Thanks in advance,
Alistair
Reading from the Facebook Developer's page(https://developers.facebook.com/), there isn't any specific SDK to C#, for desktop applications
.
But there is a SDK for Javascript, maybe a web application can be an option for you.
I'm novice when it comes to using API's with C# apps, and I decided to start a windows 8 Modern UI application. I've looked for information about how to integrate facebook into a project using the facebook API, and I found some useful answers, but some things are still unclear to me...
I've not found any official Facebook API for C#, I created an developer acount on Facebook but when i want to create a project using it, there is no choice for a c# application.
I've searched the Internet and found this : https://github.com/facebook-csharp-sdk/facebook-windows8-sample
I downloaded it and put the app's id I got from Facebook on it, but it doesn't work. My question is simple: Is there any official API with documentation or a website where I can get real and exact information for it?
The Official SDK from Facebook is only for PHP, Javascript, iOS and Android.
For the .NET world, there is the Facebook C# SDK which you have already found. You can do everything with it, including full Windows 8 Apps with Facebook integration.
The main site is at http://CSharpSDK.org/
