Twitter Description 

 

The Twitter control is an ASP.NET AJAX control that enables you to display Twitter status messages (tweets) from Twitter.com. This control has two modes: Profile and Search. In Profile mode, you can display the latest tweets from a particular user by supplying the user's Twitter screen name. In Search mode, you can display all tweets which match a search query.

Twitter limits the number of times that you can interact with their API in an hour. Twitter recommends that you cache results on the server (https://dev.twitter.com/docs/rate-limiting). By default, the Twitter control caches results on the server a duration of 5 minutes. You can modify the cache duration by assigning a value (in seconds) to the Twitter control's CacheDuration property.

The Twitter control wraps a standard ASP.NET ListView control. You can customize the appearance of the Twitter control by modifying its LayoutTemplate, StatusTemplate, AlternatingStatusTemplate, and EmptyDataTemplate.
