I'm quite new to Facebook Graph API but I got a question on how to post stories to Facebook from web application using Graph API.
Based on Facebook - Sharing to Storiesthey only explain a ways to post stories from Android and iOS application but not from Web application, is there any possible way to publish a stories to Facebook from web thru Graph API or any other Facebook's API?
I think I've found the answer, based on my research across the official documentation and other places on the web.
I'm convinced that there's no way to publish a Facebook Story thru a web application, this is because as of right now, Facebook API only supports the ability to publish stories on Android or iOS environments only and not the web application, but correct me if I'm wrong.

I looked for an example of a simple asp.net mvc application which only shows the albums and the pictures they contain via facebook api. Unfortunately I didn't find a worthwhile example.
I visited facebook and read the guilds for developers but in fact I even didn't understand what kind of api I should use: Javascript SDK, Open Graph API or just Graph API. I already created my test application at https://developers.facebook.com/apps.
Does anybody can help me to solve this issue?.
Take a look at Facebook C# SDK - they have an example of a web app on their website: Getting Started with the Facebook C# SDK for ASP.NET
I have web portal. I need to somehow get all Facebook wall posts from just one specific user or group( that represents my web portal). I need to have wall posts available on my web portal for further processing.
I will be also needing an option for posting messages from web portal to FB user/group wall.
I haven`t worked with FB API until now, so any materials, tutorials that can lead me in right direction would be of great help.
Can this be done without creating Facebook application?
Thank you
No,
Facebook just like that does not share its user information.
you will have to create an app on facebook to authorize urself,and on your web portal you will have to sek users permission before getting any user info.
craete facebook app here https://developers.facebook.com/apps
You can choose between javascript sdk and graph api on how you want to get user data.
You can use publish_stream permisiion to get the post on user wall.

Samples & How-Tos
Google, but I would be careful here. Try to search for updated tutorials (written or updated on 2011)
I used this http://neosmart.de/social-media/facebook-wall its fb.wall plugin into jQuery .js library. It easy and can be edited symply via CSS
I noticed that my feedback news feed shows certain posts that aren't returned by any of the API's. (I tried the GraphAPI and the legacy REST API and FQL).
I can see those status updates at http://facebook.com on my news feed and I can also see them in the Facebook mobile app on iPhone and the mobile app on Windows Mobile.
Some of my friends seem to have set a privacy setting. I think it is this one: "How people bring your info to apps they use" - decheck "My Status Updates", although I can't confirm that is the only reason their posts don't show up, it seems one possible explanation.
So, what API are these facebook mobile applications using which returns the same data as the web site ? Is it possible for me to build another facebook client using that API?
Have you acquired the read_stream extended permission? This is required to see all postings. Typically without it you don't see any posts, but I think you can see posts that are marked as being completely public.
Can any one explain that what is difference between grap API and Visual studio SDK for facebook?
Graph API is a new and a lot easier way to access facebook API, it can be used from any language including C#.
The new Graph API attempts to
drastically simplify the way
developers read and write data to
Facebook. It presents a simple,
consistent view of the Facebook social
graph, uniformly representing objects
in the graph (e.g., people, photos,
events, and fan pages) and the
connections between them (e.g., friend
relationships, shared content, and
photo tags).

On the other hand, C# SDK is a way to use facebook API through C# only. Facebook has created SDK for more languages too other than C#.
My google skills have failed.
My interest is how much user information I can access when having users connect to my website through. Comments, shared links, uploaded photos, data from other facebook applications used by the user?
Have a look at the Graph API ..or the old REST API for an idea of what you can access via Facebook APIs.
There's a good tutorial here: Facebook Connect Tutorial. I believe this article is using the REST API and the Javascript SDK for single sign on.
