You may be aware that if you have currently got uploaded photos containing GPS data inside the EXIF then this data is not being loaded into Flickr's new Location database. The following is a little web app that does just that for you. http://www.wackylabs.net/dev/georetagr/ It uses phpFlickr and I managed to [...]
The FlickrNet API Library has a new home, on CodePlex, the new open source hosting platform from Microsoft. I made this decision to try to bring together source code, release files, discussion and documentation into one place, rather than the current situation where it is on two or three different web sites. http://www.codeplex.com/Wiki/View.aspx?ProjectName=FlickrNet The site [...]
Flickr Mashups Book I thought I'd mention that I'm currently working as Technical Reviewer for a new book from Wrox about writing Flickr Mashups. To quote:
Using mashup technologies including REST, Ajax, JSON, SOAP, XML-RPC, CSS and more
Using Flickr API Objects such as Interestingness, Tags, Sets, Groups and others
Remixing Flickr with Flickr feeds
Remixing using the [...]
I've been published!
I wrote an article a few weeks back for the "Coding 4 Fun" section of the Microsoft MSDN web site and its just gone live!
View the article or download the sample code
Go me!
Update: The article has reappeared on the Coding 4 Fun web site! Hurrah! [tags]microsoft, flickr, .net, coding4fun, article[/tags]
Just released some bug fixes, plus adding a few more supported methods and parameters to the code.
There are two undocumented features included in this release - the Photo.RawTags return by various search methods, and the TagMode.Boolean search tag mode (boolnea tags take the form of "+findme -notme" - I've yet to find a way of [...]
Well I finally got around to writing some Flickr.Net API Library sample applications.
The sample (in both C# and VB.Net) consists of a number of forms, each of which illustrates a seperate task. I've an article to go with the sample app but you'll have to wait for that.

A couple of blogs I've found about people trying things with the Flickr.Net API recently...
Flickr.Net and LINQ
LINQ is a new set of APIs from Microsoft for .Net Framework 2.0. It adds a load of really cool language extensions to both C# and VB.Net. Some of these extensions are taken from common dynamic languages like LISP [...]
Just some bug fixes, plus adding a few more supported methods and parameters to the code. I also finished the code comments, so intellisense should now show up something for each method at least.

Just a quick post to introduce another application which is using the Flickr.Net API Library.Rob Burke has been helping me for a while with various problems we where having with the code, most specifically the Medium Trust stuff, so a big thanks to him. He's also developed what could be a very useful little tool [...]
After far too long, and many updates and changes I have finally released a new version of the Flickr.Net API Library source code. As usual it includes all source files, plus debug and release builds of the DLL.

I've had a few requests to get the FlickrNet API Library working in Medium Trust mode under ASP.Net, so I thought I'd look at it. Here lies the tales and tribulations that such a journey took.
What is 'Medium Trust'?
Good darn question. I wasn't actually sure until I looked it up. Basically its a more secure [...]
