Your users can login to your application using Twitter after which you can request information about them. Additional setup is required on Twitter - see the setup section at the bottom of the page for more information

Once a user has successfully logged in their access token is automatically saved so you do not need to direct the user to the login screen everytime - check "WSANativeTwitter.IsLoggedIn" first

If a users access token becomes invalid they will have to be directed back to the login page again, you can tell when an access token is invalid as any calls to Twitter apis will fail and the error message will have the Unauthorised property set, "WSANativeTwitter.IsLoggedIn" will also be set to false

C#
using CI.WSANative.Twitter;

Initialises the Twitter api - you should call this when your app starts up

The values can all be found on your twitter developer account

C#
WSANativeTwitter.Initialise("consumerKey", "consumerSecret", "oauthCallback");

Shows the Twitter login dialog to the user and if the login is successful returns data about them

If you specify true for include email then you must enable "Request email addresses from users" on the permissions tab on your developer account

If the login is successful WSANativeTwitter.IsLoggedIn will be set to true

C#
WSANativeTwitter.Login(true, r => 
{
    if(r.Success)

});
