Facebook Authorization for Silverlight

Question

I have a silverlight application, users can login to the server and chat. How can i integrate facebook authorization to my silverlight application.

I want it to be like this.

My silverlight application, has a facebook login button, when clicked, new popup window opens facebook oauth dialog is shown.

After that facebook returns access token to redirect_uri. I have trouble how to return this access token to silverlight application.

Problem.

I can't use popup browser window on silverlight because it is trouble. I use javascript popup on webpage and call it from silverlight. Then i can't get a handle on popup window, so i can't access accesstoken.

I am using httphandler to get accesstoken, i can send this to my chat server and let user login thru server, but it doesn't seem like a good solution.

Is there any good examples suggestions, for that thanks.

Answer 2

Thanks for your reply i read it, it has some complications for me,

This uses WebBrowser, it's a cool idea, but WebBrowser is troubled with in-browser mode, i don't know if it is supported, but i need to configure the application full trust, which is very bad idea.

Seeing this, i will use my server and sockets, unless anyone gives me a better solution thank you.
