FYI:  I clicked on the FacebookASPNET link above.  I logged intoFacebook and allowed the application to access my info.  Then I received the following ASP.Net error (I cleaned up the error a message abit so I could post it here):

Requested value 'F$%#kTaxes,F$%&kObama!' was not found.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'FuckTaxes,FuckObama!' was not found.

Interesting. I'm getting: "Requested value 'DemocraticParty' was not found." and a friend of mine sees: "Requested value 'notifIcanhelpit' was not found."

I've checked the sources on my server and nothing has been hacked or changed. These values are coming from the Facebook GetUserInfo call and makes me wonder if there someone has an agenda.

The Facebook API version supported in the framework used is now out of date.

This could make for quite a headline.

I've now had a chance to debug this problem. And it's not a Facebook thing. The issue is that v1.7 of the toolkit tried to parse the return value from the political view field into an enum. What this means is that whatever value you see being returned in the exception is what one of your friends entered for their "political view".

So Mike, apparently one of your friends isn't a big fan of Obama.

Hi Steve,

Does the starter kit have issues with FDT V3 or can it replace the v2.1 in your starter kit?

Hi Kev,
  I have not yet updated the Starter Kit to v3 though I'll post as soon as I do.
