Looks good, i will map the WebUrl to the PhotoPage for list of photos (for detail view it is already supplied by flickr), so that you dont have to do it manually :-). I will update the API the next day , i made this comment.

I get web url of my photos by this way, can you give me some comments :-):

FlickrContext _flickr = new FlickrContext();

var uid = (from u in _flickr.Peoples

where u.Username == "ngocluu_net"

select u).Single().Id;

var result = from p in _flickr.Photos

where p.User == "ngocluu_net" && p.PhotoSize == PhotoSize.Square

orderby PhotoOrder.Date_Posted descending

select new

{

Id = p.Id,

Title = p.Title,

Url = p.Url,

WebUrl = string.Format("http://www.flickr.com/photos/{0}/{1}", uid, p.Id)

};

foreach (var item in result)

{

Console.WriteLine(item.WebUrl);

}

PS. I'm in Vietnam, my site is still under development (using ASP.NET MVC), it's just a personal blog, when it's available on internet, I will sent you the url :).

When you get the photo by Id, in case detail view. Flickr response for flickr.photos.getInfo

<urls>

<url type="photopage">www.flickr.com/.../url>

</urls>

it supplies the photoPage url, which can access by photo.PhotoPage. But it is generally string.Empty for list of photos, like flickr.photos.search

<photo id="2636" owner="47058503995@N01"

secret="a123456" server="2" title="test_04"

ispublic="1" isfriend="0" isfamily="0" />

look here list the of photos retured wtih few basic info. And it is not a good way to get the photo detail everytime for all the photos, This is of course a performance issue. So, best way for you when you are showing detail, get the photo by Id then access photo.PhotoPage(it is detail view property, may be i will add comment for this property).

I am again curious to know about you and your site. please paste it here so that i can check things out and how you implemented it and where?

It's work now without prompt authentication :). Thanks for your reply. I have another question about Linq.Flickr, maybe the last question :), how could I get WebUrl (such as www.flickr.com/.../2654901274) of a photo, I don't see any properties of Photo class that allow me to get it?

Nope, you dont need to authenticate, at least it does not requires you so. There is a authenticate link , if you click only then it prompts you for authentication. Again, here all the things can be done without authenticaton , you can check it live as well. Plz also, send me the link of your site or the version of source code that is taking to you to authentication without any reason.

I only want to get some latest photos of mine to show on my website, no need to edit, upload..., only display, do I need to authenticate to Flickr?

Hi Ngoc,

If you are already logged in flickr , then the flickr authetication process wont prompt you wih a login screen , rather it will authenticate and it will ask for your permisson to grant the app if not previously. I hope that you are using the lastest source code. Check www.flickrmvc.net , where there is a nice login and logout bar the top and along with the latest source.

I want to embed Flickr photo on my website using LinqToFlickr, but when I call Authenticate from FlickrContext, it open browser and point to flickr.com/.../auth... I don't see that with FlickrXplorer since I download the sample and run it. What's wrong?

Well, I want to take part in this Microsoft and Apple game. I'm a typical user. I use lot's of gazettes, but still I want to play with them in a simple way.

I had a Zune and a iPod and also a iPhone. I did not like iPod and iPhone. In fact I did not like Zune too. Cause putting songs, videos or music in them is a pain. I always have to use the 3rd party software. iTunes always sux for me. But Zune was simpler to manage, specially the latest version. There ware some hack to put files on a Zune over WiFi. iPhone/iPod doesn't have that functionality.

Now some days ago I got a HTC Touch phone based on Windows Mobile 6 Professional Operating System. You won't believe that still I did not put the CDs in my computer to check what the hell are there.

I just pair my computer with the phone using Bluetooth and transfer files. I must tell you that I used lots of phones in my life and Windows Mobile is the simpler one. Lots of options and finally again they are simple. I know I need to learn a lot still, but it's the best one can have.
