How to get twitter user timeline in C# using Twitterizer

Question

i have the following code.

 
Twitter t1 = new Twitter("twitteruser","password");
                TwitterUser user =  t1.User.Show("username");
                if (user != null)
                {
                    TwitterParameters param = new TwitterParameters();
                    param.Add(TwitterParameterNames.UserID, user.ID);
                    TwitterStatusCollection t =t1.Status.UserTimeline(param);                   
                }

In the above code, I want to get user timeline. I am using Twitterizer API. The twitter documentation for getting timeline of user is Here

I have checked the fiddler whats going on. In fiddler the request is :

http://api.twitter.com/1/direct_messages.xml?user_id=xxxxx

while i am expecting

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.format

Is anything left which i miss.

This is a bug in the latest version of the Twitterizer Library.

I will try to get this corrected and post an update today.

If you run into any other issues, please contact the Twitterizer group directly, on our site (http://www.twitterizer.net/) you'll find links to our mailing list, twitter account, and you can submit but reports directly to our team.

Here's how to get a user's timeline without using oAuth or any authentication, for that matter:

UserTimelineOptions options = new UserTimelineOptions();
options.ScreenName = "SCREENNAME OF TWITTER USER";
TwitterStatusCollection tweets = TwitterTimeline.UserTimeline(options).ResponseObject;

The update has been posted (you're the first to be told). Please go download version 1.0.146: code.google.com/p/twitterizer/downloads/list

Your code is correct, however developer should consider authenticating more often than not. Using OAuth provides 350 requests per hour PER USER, whereas non-authenticated requests are limited to 100 requests per hour PER IP ADDRESS.

Try this: TwitterTimeline.UserTimeline(new UserTimelineOptions() { ScreenName = "twitterapi" };
