                uri += "&oauth_token=" + oauth_token;
                uri += "&oauth_session_handle=" + oauth_session_handle;
                uri += "&xoauth_yahoo_guid=" + yahoo_guid;
                uri += "&oauth_consumer_key=" + WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["oauth_consumer_key"];
                uri += "&oauth_signature_method=PLAINTEXT";
                uri += "&oauth_version=1.0";
                uri += "&oauth_timestamp=" + Convert.ToInt32(time_stamp);
                uri += "&oauth_nonce=" + GetNonce(time_stamp);
                uri += "&oauth_signature=" + WebConfigurationManager.AppSettings["oauth_consumer_secret"] + "%26" + oauth_token_secret;
                uri += "&amp;notifyServerToken=1";

                Response.Write(String.Format("<br/><br/>Sending &not request to {0}<br/>", uri));

                HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
                request.Method = "POST";
                request.ContentType = JSONContentType;

                string session_data = "{\"presenceState\" : 1, \"presenceMessage\" : \"" + "Online Is Me" + "\"}";
                byte[] array = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(session_data);
                request.ContentLength = session_data.Length;
                Stream stream = request.GetRequestStream();
                stream.Write(array, 0, array.Length);
                stream.Close();

                HttpWebResponse response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse();

Thank you for your code!
But how do you define the oauth_token,oauth_session_handle,yahoo_guid and so on?
Can you send me the whole Code project? I just want do realize the function of login and send messenger!
Thank you again!
