Hi Guys,

I’m developing a website (in ASP.NET MVC) which allows users to join with GFC (Google Friend Connect). But, if users want, they can maintain their personal profile on my website (like social networking sites)

My question is “How I can synchronize GFC user with my website database?” that is, "how I can make an entry of GFC user into my website DB?"

Thanks in adv.

Does the Google Friend Connect authenticate with OpenID?

If it does then you can associate your application's user account with the OpenID that their using.

I think you can even use OpenID to authenticate the user....in which case if the user logs into your website they'll also be logged into Google Friend Connect (and any other Google Application)...

I've never used this before but I think it'd be worth your while to look into OpenID.

Currently GFC user can login site with google id, yahoo id, AIM id, Netlog id, OpenID.
Whenever a new user login to your site with GFC, an unique entry is made into google database and by using OpenSocial APIs, we can get this entry details.
But, I dont know exactly "HOW"? :(
Please let me know... if someone already worked on this integration.
