Actually, I solved my own problem. The download package comes with other DLLs for Silverlight etc and I had to delete the others and leave FlickerNet.dll in the Bin directory and then it worked.

Hello, I keep getting an error "'Flickr' is ambiguous in the namespace 'FlickrNet'". Am using .NET Framework 4.0. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Updated Wiki: System Requirements

samjudson — Thu, 05 Aug 2010 14:13:45 GMT

System Requirements

The following is a list of the supported frameworks.

Microsoft .Net Framework

Originally developed for the .Net Framework 1.1 support for this version was dropped in 2010. Currently supported in .Net Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. I'm assuming it also works in .Net Framework 4.0 but this has not been tested yet.

Microsoft .Net Compact Framework

A minimum version of 2.0 SP 1 is required as SP 1 added support for the SerializableAttribute class which is required by the Flickr.Net API.

Mono & Monotouch

I don't develop with Mono, nor do I have access to a Mac, iPhone or the Monotouch SDK, so support for these frameworks is sketchy. They should work fine however. You will need to work with the latest source code however. If you spot any issues then feel free to submit patches where required.

Silverlight & Windows Phone 7

Silverlight support has recently been added and now support Silverlight 3.0 and above. The Silverlight DLL should also work in Windows 7 Phone applications so I look forward to seeing some Phone apps using the library in the near future.

Note, that the Windows 7 Phone SDK is still in Beta, but I plan to continue supporting this in the future.

To run the FlickrNet API Library you will need either of the following:

Microsoft .Net Framework 2.0

Originally developed for the .Net Framework 1.1 support for this version was dropped in 2010. Currently supported in .Net Framework 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5. I'm assuming it also works in .Net Framework 4.0 but this has not been tested yet.

Microsoft .Net Compact Framework

Seems a little odd that there isn't an API provided that just does this for you, like GetAllPhotos or whatever.

Coding 4 Fun

I recently wrote an article for the Coding 4 Fun team at Microsoft giving a 'getting started' guide to using the FlickrNet API library. It includes example code in both C# and VB.Net. I'd highly recommend it as a way to get started.
