Usage

Starting usage

Twitter mainTwitter = new Twitter("USERNAME", "PASSWORD"); // Creates a new Twitter with the specified credentials
mainTwitter.directMessage += MainTwitter_directMessage; // Optional event handler, which fires when the user receives a DM
mainTwitter.tryLogin(); // Logs in to the Twitter account (returns true or false depending on login status)

Sending a tweet

mainTwitter.Tweet("Hello world! #KeylessTwitter"); // Tweets the specified tweet. Remember, there is a 140 character limit, which will cause a 403 if exceeded

Tweeting an image (by URL)

// The general idea is that they use byte[], which allows for you to load from a file if needed
mainTwitter.TweetImage(new WebClient().DownloadData("http://example.com/my_twitter_picture.jpg"), "Check out this image!"); // Tweets from said URL

Tweeting images (by URLs)

mainTwitter.TweetImages(new byte[][] { new WebClient().DownloadData("http://example.com/my_twitter_picture.jpg"), new WebClient().DownloadData("http://example.com/my_other_picture.jpg") }, "Check out these images!"); // Tweets from the specified URLs

Follow / Unfollow a user

mainTwitter.Follow("c0mmodity"); // Follows me (shameless plug)
mainTwitter.Unfollow("c0mmodity"); // Unfollows specified user

DM Event Example

private static void MainTwitter_directMessage(string conversationID, string messageContents) // Auto generated
{
    Console.WriteLine("{0}: {1}", conversationID, messageContents); // Outputs the message and its conversation ID
    mainTwitter.SendMessage_ID(conversationID, messageContents); // Replies with the same message (using Twitter.SendMessage_ID)
}
