How to retrive profile picture with DotNetOpenAuth

Question

Hi,

I'm using VS 2013 and DotNetOpenAuth to authenticate users with facebook and I would like to retrive the profile picture of the user, so I can show the picture of the logged in user in my site.

I know that I can send extra data to facebook with the method "AddFacebook" and I also have the option to replace the method "requestauthentication" by the "createrequest" to have more control of this part, but I couldn't find a way to request the profile picture - and I'm not sure if the login request is the best moment for this request.

Thank you !
