how to reply to a tweet using linqtotwitter

Question

I'm trying to reply to a tweet using this method:

twitterCtx.ReplyAsync(statusid, "test"); 

However, it just posts a new tweet on my page. I can reply to my own tweet using the above code but it does not work for other people's tweet.

How can I reply to a tweet using linqtotweet? Also the value of InReplyToStatusID is 0 always!!

Answer 1

In addition to using ReplyAsync, you need to prefix the message with a mention of the user the reply is for, like this:

twitterCtx.ReplyAsync(statusid, "@UserName test");
