Twitter statusUpdate via asp.net C# does not appear

Question

I am currently working on a web application project, and I need to upgrade the twitterizer work with LinqToTwitter in order to update the status of a particular user. I have tried different codes, but none of them has worked for me.

Here is one of the examples:

   protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
        var auth = new SingleUserAuthorizer
            {
                Credentials = new InMemoryCredentials
                {
                    ConsumerKey = "YourAppConsumerKey",
                    ConsumerSecret = "YourAppConsumerSecret",
                   OAuthToken = "AccessToken",
                   AccessToken = "AccessTokenSecret"
                }
            };

     var ctx = new TwitterContext(auth); 
        ctx.UpdateStatus("hi there!");
}

When I run the code for the first time, nothing will happen. Afterwards, when I try to run the code for the second time, I get error 403, and I keep getting that error unless I change the UpdateStatus content, and the same problem will happen again.

Does anyone have an idea about that issue?

Twitter will only allow you to post a certain message one time. That means if you've ever tweeted "hi there!" in the past, you can't tweet it again. Because of this, I typically write my test messages to append a DateTime.Now to guarantee unique text.

To help out, the downloadable source code has a project called LinqToTwitterDemos. This project contains examples of using all authorizers and much more. There's also demo code on the Releases page and the Samples page.

Thank you so much. It is really an amazing source. – Rm ko Jul 08 '13 at 14:40 — Rm ko, Jul 08 '13 at 14:40
