.NET URL Shorten-er Library

Posted by Dremation

Apr 11

I’ve been working on a few applications were I’ve been using TinyURL a lot. So, I thought I’d create a library for .NET that contains functions for the most popular URL Shorten-er sites.

Function TinyURL
Function TimesURL
Function DoiopURL
Function MemURL
Function DwarfURL
Function SnipURL
Function ShorlURL
Function LoajURL
Function BitlyURL
Function IsGdURL
Function SixURL
Function TightURL
Function UrlXURL
Function YepItURL

Total there are 14 function that all server the same purpose. It’s really a personal preference as to what service you want to use. Each function accepts 1 overload and returns a single String.

Example:


dim sTest As String = TimesURL(sURL)

The library will be available soon. Any interest in this or ideas please leave a comment.

Thanks for the Good Luck. I’ve got most of the functionality working. Just a few of the more difficult providers are giving me trouble.

My Gravatar implementation is very sloppy. I through it together in a few minutes to show a few people how to do it. I’m working on a much better version right now. The first version was a control. The ones I’m getting ready to release is a library that outputs the avatar using the Image Stream. Will support borders, rotations, fades, mouse over/in/out/click events,etc. Will also support image arrays for loading multiple gravatars at a time, for a listbox or combobox maybe.
