Question

I am using facebook C# sdk from codeplex and trying to download user\'s profile picture.

I know I can get this from:

http://graph.facebook.com/UID/picture?t

Answer 1

You could let the browser get the image for you using the graph api url - graph.facebook.com/UID/picture?type=large or use something like the method below to get the cached url

    public static string GetPictureUrl(string faceBookId)
    {
        WebResponse response = null;
        string pictureUrl = string.Empty;
        try
        {
            WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(string.Format("https://graph.facebook.com/{0}/picture", faceBookId));
            response = request.GetResponse();
            pictureUrl = response.ResponseUri.ToString();
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            //? handle
        }
        finally
        {
            if (response != null) response.Close();
        }
        return pictureUrl;
    }
