Facebook page app - facebook

I`m an admin on a facebook fan page. The problem is that when I try to create an app for facebook fan page, facebook redirects me to my profile, and thus I will be creating an app for myself and not the facebook fan page.
Is there a way to do this?
I need to do this so I would get app ID and app Secret for facebook fan page.

Kalvin Klien, please don't fall over getting out of bed, but you will need to use a user profile to create apps, not a page profile. It is documented here:
Create new app from Business account
Create a Facebook APP goes in circles back my page
Can company page accounts create apps?
If you want facebook to tell you, please
1) Log into your facebook account
2) Switch to using your facebook page (aka business page)
3) Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps
4) Read error message that says:
To access this page, you'll need to switch from using Facebook as your
page to using Facebook as yourself.

How to find a Facebook user page by an app user id

I can get my second user id by using my mobile app via Facebook SDK.
If I told my second user id to an other Facebook user who uses same mobile app,
can he/she find my Facebook page by using it?
I found out the way to access to my Facebook page.
That is to launch a browser app and fill in the following URL.
http://facebook.com/{ID}
But, I could not find out other way.
I want to find the better way.

C# Facebook sdk: posting on page on owner's behalf

I have a page on facebook and i want to get my page access token so that i could use it to post ob my page from a mobile application or web application using the facebook sdk for C#.
I think the whole idea would be:
user will go to my webpage.
user will then login to facebook.
user will be taken back to my page with the his page's access token.
i will save this access token and then use it to post on his page on his behalf.
Right now i am not sure whether these are the right steps or not and if i am right, how can i make a facebook login page where user can use?
EDIT:
I found some answer here: Programatically log in to facebook and post from server side
do i need to create a facebook app for that?

Clicking Apps takes me to my Facebook page

I want to create an App for a Facebook page I'm developing but when I click on the link at the top called 'Apps' it just redirects me to the Facebook page. I have tried using different browsers and it does the same.
What is happening and how can it be resolved?
Can I use another Facebook account ie my own one to create the App and then add it to someone elses or does it have to be the owner of the Facebook page?

You have to use your personal account. Only user accounts can be developers – not pages.
(And you have to verify your account with Facebook – either via text message to mobile, or credit card.)

How to make Facebook app page invisible so it doesn't reveal identify of our users to their friends?

My site has Facebook Connect to help users with registration and to do this we had to create a Facebook app. And on my Facebook app page, I noticed that it shows list of user's friends who also connected to our site using Facebook Connect. How can I take this down so that we don't reveal the identity of our users who connect to the website with Facebook Connect? In fact, I would like to make the Facebook app page invisible altogether since we don't need it. Is this possible?

Automatic login to Website when User login to Facebook based on cookie

I'm using the Facebook Graph Toolkit and developing ASP.NET website.
I want to create and design a website that has registration that will use a Facebook account as an alternative to my website login/registration.
I am thinking of just storing the Facebook User ID who has approved the use of the FB app in order to identify the user for next time when he/she logs in to my website using his Facebook account.
Scenario here is:
Any browser, user already logged in to his Facebook account (say browser Tab no.1).
Same browser, Tab no.2, user visits my website (he has already registered to my website using his Facebook account, as I store his Facebook ID).
Upon his visit to my website home page, the top corner will display his account name (this indicates that he has logged in to my website even though he has only logged in to Facebook, but never visited my website and clicked on the Login button).
So my question is, how to achieve the scenario of step no.3?
It's quite easy but you need to do some research first. Research will better help you to understand each and every point.
Go to the Facebook Developers API Reference and do some reading.
