This wraps up the Controller and now we can finally go and
checkout all the magic that CSS Media Queries can do.
Adding Content to the Structure
Earlier we setup the Index.cshtml, now that we have the
Controller in place, we can build and run the application.
Basic Styling
By default, it looks up my ‘timeline’ for images I may have posted,
and it shows one image per line, something like the following:
We add the consumerKey and consumerSecret and add it to the
instance of SessionStateCredentials(). Next we initialize the auth
object and try to CompleteAuthorization. If authorization fails
(session expired or first attempt), it reinitiates the authorization
process by calling BeginAuthorization.
Once Authorization is done, we create an instance of
TwitterContext(auth) and query it to get list of Tweets for the
provided screenName. Our Linq query transforms the ‘Status’
object returned by the LINQ query into a TweetViewModel
object. The GetTweetMediaUrl(…) extracts the URL of the Image
if the Tweet has any images associated with it.
