so basically I'm trying to display the latest tweets from 5-10 different sources/twitter accounts in a new application I'm trying to make.

Similarly the way tweetro/metrotwit retrieve and display tweets in the application. But on a much smaller scale.

Any ideas on how this could be done?

Would be much appreciated.

  • This question is much too broad. Try finding a specific portion of it and asking a question about that. – N_A Aug 29 '12 at 21:02
  • Well I just want to find out out I can embed user tweets into an application? You have any idea on what I need to be targeting my research towards? – AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:03
  • Are you having trouble retrieving the tweets? Displaying them? What language? – N_A Aug 29 '12 at 21:07
  • No no, I'm trying to create an application that displays the latest tweets from a pre-defined set of users, maybe 4-5 accounts. – AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:09

    But what part don't you know how to do? – N_A Aug 29 '12 at 21:11
  • Just how do I tell visual studio/blend to look for tweets from certain accounts from twitter and display them in a list/grid on a new store application – AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:17
  • You're basically asking someone to code it for you. To fit the site better you need to come up with a more specific question. Barring that, here is a package that already does twitter stuff: http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/TwitterRt-Tweet-from-9ccfac7e#content – N_A Aug 29 '12 at 21:20
  • Alex, your question is too broad. Start small. Get familiar with [Twitter's API](https://dev.twitter.com/docs). Look into API libraries for C#, if you like ([here's one](https://github.com/danielcrenna/tweetsharp)). That last site looks like it has a decent tutorial for you to walk through. – Michael Petrotta Aug 29 '12 at 21:21
  • Thanks for the links guys, I'll have a look! - – AlexDuncan Aug 29 '12 at 21:27

Simply use the Twitter API to send a Web Service Request accessing those specific tweets in a data friendly format like XML or text. Then simply bind that data to a ListView or whatever pleases you.
