I see a lots of different framework for development of app in asp.NET using C#. Please suggest a stable and well document framework for FB development.
Facebook just announced their official Facebook C# SDK. I didn't have a chance of playing with it yet, but that would be the one I'd start with for new apps.
There's also the Facebook Developer Toolkit by Clarity Consulting. I've used it previously, and while it works, I don't like it's object model.

I have a Windows C# UWP Application that was integrated with Facebook (It allowed users to post Greetings card images into their timeline) and previously used the Sharing Charm feature between Windows UWP apps. Facebook removed the sharing functionality from their app some time ago so I now need to recode the functionality using a Facebook SDK but don't know quite where to start.
First question is what is the best API to use, as there seems to be multiple options. I have seen "winsdkfb" and also "facebook" but all the documentation I have seen seems well out of date. Could someone point me to the best Nuget API and an up to date tutorial?
My app is coded for UWP Win 10 Build 14393 and Id rather not go through a whole rebuild into something like .Net Core at this stage as its a big complex app.
I would like to use Microsoft Bot Framework to build a chatbot for an app that I am building, and I do not want it to be working in Skype, Facebook or any other channels.
Is that possible? And are there are cost involved.
If you are going to connect your bot into your own chat application, best way is to use Direct Line Rest API. So disable everything except Direct Line
For an example about how you can use Direct Line API please refer this link.
Another important thing is to use Bot Framework V3. Not the previous
versions. The team made changes in the new version by implementing
enhancements for the future. So those features and structure are much different
than previous versions.
This means V1 is deprecated, meaning almost all of your code would need to be rewritten for V3.
There is no cost for you to enable or disable any channels right now. In the below picture, Bot Framework Developer Portal gives you the full control to add new channels or delete them from you bot.
I realize there will be additional work (as the SDK only works on Windows 8 and WP8) as the SDK provides controls to provide a login sequence (via Microsoft Account, Facebook, etc).
I am wondering if it is possible to achieve the same result with a Windows Phone 7 app? I've been searching for a while, and there is not much on Mobile Services at all, let alone for WP7. Is there some (technical?) reason (besides the fact that WP7 is not the latest and greatest) that Microsoft has left WP7 out in the cold with Azure Services?
I realize that just accessing the data via REST in WP7 is trivial, but I'm really getting at is the entire process of using deferred authentication restricting access to users own data only, is this doable without their SDK without a monumental effort?
It turns out that the SDK is open source, and the source is at https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-mobile-services .
Now, I haven't dug into the source, and don't know what the porting effort might look like, but it seems reasonable to think that it shouldn't be too much of an effort.
Good luck, and share it back if you make progress. :)

A preview of the new C# client which supports Windows Phone 7.5 is now available to try out. Remember it is pre-release and therefore not supported. http://www.johanlaanstra.nl/?p=217
Officially no I am afraid.
But you can find a (partial) client platform agnostic implementation in a form of a C# SDK here:
https://github.com/kenegozi/azure-mobile-csharp-sdk
This will allow you to use Azure Mobile Services with WP7 I guess.
I am new to Facebook development. Where do you think I should start learning. Do you know any good resources like videos, samples, books, blogs tutorials? I found some but they are quite old, and I don't want to waste my time with an old library if there is a new and more powerful one. Thanks!

In my opion it is best to implement everything server side with no javascript.
I did not care for any of the C# SDK's so I am "rolling "my own using a few simple classes and such.
The link I have included does point to one of the SDK's however is still a good starting point.

I'm trying to access the news stream to pan for certain events
I'm running into a few issues with the facebook developer toolkit.
does anyone have or can point me to an example of getting the news stream?
The Facebook Graph Toolkit is ideal for this job. Check out http://fbgraph.computerbeacon.net/tutorial/section2/ for an example.
Try using the .NET Facebook API Client instead. Follow the Getting Started using trunk instructions, and from there using Stream.Get should be fairly straightforward
