Demonstrates sending a simple Twitter status update (tweet).

This example is deprecated and no longer valid.

C#

bool success = false;

//  It requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

//  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
//  This initial setup, which involves setting the OAuth1 properties and connecting
//  to api.twitter.com, is only required once at the beginning.  Once connected, the same
//  object instance may be re-used, and if necessary, it will automatically reconnect
//  as needed.

//  Assume we've previously obtained an access token and saved it to a JSON file..

//  A successful JSON response looks like this:
