Subject: Cant get normal users name Instead I get negative Long number (via chat connect - Facebook)

I connect to facebook chat When I try to retrieve the list of online users I get their user names but in negative long number. Y is that? How can I get their normal names?

thanks

The Facebook usernames are negative numbers. But the name is also submitted.

e.g.:

<item subscription="both" name="Bob Brown" jid="-1111111@chat.facebook.com" />

You have to subscribe to the OnRosteritem event. Then use the follwing code to get the name.

private void XmppCon_OnRosterItem(object sender, agsXMPP.protocol.iq.roster.RosterItem item)
{
    string name = item.Name;
}

It works

thanks.

Can I connect between the name and the negative number? or between the Roster item and the Presence?
In Presence I have more functions to much to chat (status and etc'...)

yes, the name is only a user friendly description. You can populate a collection in the OnRosterItem event with the mapping Jid <--> name and look up them later when you need. The Jid is a unique identifier in XMPP. You get the Presence in the OnPresence event by Jid.

private void xmpp_OnRosterItem(object sender, agsXMPP.protocol.iq.roster.RosterItem item)
      {
      string itemName = item.Name;
      string itemJid = item.Jid.User;

      if (item.Name != null)
      {
      itemName.Replace('u', '-');

      nameLink.Add(new Names {jid = itemJid, name = itemName});

      _waitU = false;
      Console.WriteLine(" Got user List ");
      }
      }

nameLink is a list
