Authentication using Facebook C# SDK

How can I authenticate with a开发者_运维百科 username(email) and password? The samples provided just calls "authorizer.Authorize()" without credentials (which simply throws an "Invalid URI" format exception for me). Do I need an accessToken and if so, how do I get one?

You cannot authenticate with a username and password. You must use OAuth to authenticate a user. Facebook does not permit application developers to collect usernames and password from users.

I am not sure what you are trying to do exactly. But here is my experience and my knowledge of authentication.

In order to authenticate a user, you need a facebook application (specifically app id and server code), the user has to input their username and password and allows your app to access their data.

This authorization process will generate an access token that will your facebook app to access the user info. Note that this access_token expires often and in which case you need to authenticate again.
