How to use Facebook SDK for Windows Phone 7 without handling Navigated event on some WebBrowser?

Question

I'm following some examples from Facebook SDK for .NET specifically the ones for Windows Phone.

I don't want to create a WebBrowser control in my xaml since I saw that in the Library there is already a LoginPage that contains a WebBrowser control.

I don't understand why in their example they create another WebBrowser control to handle the login, and in the code behind they handle the Navigated event.

I would like to have some cleaner handling of Login and retrieving basic info from the logged in user.

To replace all those lines that you see in the example, you could simply do:

var client = new FacebookSessionClient(appId);
var Session = await client.LoginAsync("basic_info,publish_actions,read_stream,user_photos");

Use the client and the Session you created before to make other calls to Facebook.

Example:

string path = "me?fields=name,picture";
var res = await client.GetTaskAsync(path, new Dictionary<string, object>());

You have a JsonObject with the result.
