The type or namespace name 'FacebookSessionClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Question

I am following http://facebooksdk.net/docs/phone/tutorial/ for logging into my Windows Phone 8 app through Facebook. Upon going through the article when I try to run the application, it gives me error-

The type or namespace name 'FacebookSessionClient' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)`

and,

The type or namespace name 'FacebookSession' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

I am sure I have added all references and namespaces. So what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

I'm not really familiar with this, but have you imported everything correctly? See also https://stackoverflow.com/a/3964462/561485

For in the top of your class:

using Facebook.Session;

Answer 2

I think this component has been removed from the lastest version. The way about login is replaced by

1. "Session.ActiveSession.LoginWithBehavior("email,public_profile,user_friends", FacebookLoginBehavior.);"
2. public enum FacebookLoginBehavior { LoginBehaviorApplicationOnly, LoginBehaviorMobileInternetExplorerOnly, LoginBehaviorWebViewOnly, }

But I still try how to login by using Facebook Beta App. If you have any ideas, I think we can discuss about this issue.

Answer 3

This happens because of the version of the Facebook SDK and the Facebook.Client.

Above problem can be resolved by installing the Facebook SDK version 6.3.2 and the Facebook.Client version 0.40-alpha

You can download and install using the Package Manager Console and the command can be found in here and here too .
