Having seen this post : Streaming Tweets with LinqToTwitter
I have this WebForms code:
protected void uxBtnGetTweets_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
DataManager dman = new DataManager();
UsersOpenAuthData data = dman.GetUserTokens(uxTxtScreenName.Text);
if (data == null)
{
throw new Exception("User Not Authorized, No Tokens On File");
}
credentials = new SessionStateCredentials()
{
ConsumerKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["twitterConsumerKey"],
ConsumerSecret = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["twitterConsumerSecret"],
OAuthToken = data.OAuthToken,
AccessToken = data.AccessToken
};
auth = new WebAuthorizer
{
Credentials = credentials,
PerformRedirect = authUrl => Response.Redirect(authUrl),
};
TwitterContext twitterCtx = new TwitterContext(auth);
int count = 0;
int max = 5;
lines = new List<string>();
var s = (from strm in twitterCtx.UserStream
where strm.Type == UserStreamType.User
select strm).StreamingCallback(strm =>
{
if (strm.Status == TwitterErrorStatus.RequestProcessingException)
{
WebException wex = strm.Error as WebException;
if (wex != null && wex.Status == WebExceptionStatus.ConnectFailure)
{
throw (wex);
}
throw new Exception(strm.Error.ToString());
}
//Here both "lines" and statusJson are populated
lines.Add(strm.Content);
JsonData statusJson = JsonMapper.ToObject(strm.Content);
if (++count >= max)
{
strm.CloseStream();
}
}).SingleOrDefault();
//Here lc == 0
int lc = lines.Count;
}
While the steam is active the "lines" list is being populated as is the JsonData object however when the stream closes the lines IList is empty.
All I can think of is scoping problem of some kind but beyond that I am stuck as to how to how to gather data from the steam loop - must we persist it to SQL or session while in the loop?
Any suggestions greatly appreciated!
