Hi shankar,
Thanks for the comment I noticed my blog stats spike early last week when Scott mentioned it on his blog. I thanked him for the link in a comment to that post.

For ease of use I would recommend adding the following property to your Master page:
public FacebookApplication FacebookApplication
{
    get { return fbFacebookApplication; }
}

Of course, you must rename the control to 'fbFacebookApplication' to match the above.

Then add the following MasterType to your aspx pages:
<%@ MasterType VirtualPath="~/MasterPage.master" %>

You can then reference the FacebookApplication control in your pages like so:
Master.FacebookApplication

Just a small tip for the other n00bs (like myself) out there.

Hi Steve,

Thank you for providing the starter kit.  Things like this are invaluable for the facebook development community.

I am trying to get a test app to run using your starter kit.  I am running it from Visual Studio on my localhost, and have followed your instructions.  When I try the last step of "Fire up the browser and hit your http://apps.facebook.com/{appname}; and you're off! ", I get a "The page you requested was not found." error.

What is the best way to debug this sort of error?  I am using an IFrame setup, so there shouldn't be any network/firewall issues.  For my test, I simply included "hello world" inside of ContentPlaceHolder1 of the default.aspx page.  I have added no other content (web controls).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Ryan,
  Thanks for the kind words. Be sure to check out the comments on my www.stevetrefethen.com/.../...arisFacebookNET.aspx">other Facebook post regarding the Callback URL. There seem to be some funky things about getting it right.

Hi

I've used your starter kit to successfully set up an application on FaceBook running from my machine. Thanks a lot, your kit is a big help.

Is it possible for you to shed some light on getting the application to show in the users profile page. I know FMBL should be used but how do i implement this? And where?

Any advice you can offer will be greatly appreciated.
