What is the best Twitter API wrapper/library for .NET?
Microsoft.Owin.Security.Twitter for authentication + custom C# code with HttpClient and Json.NET
Something like:
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
client.BaseAddress = new Uri("https://api.twitter.com/1.1/");
client.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = authValue;
var response = await client.GetAsync("search/tweets.json");
if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var json = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var tweets = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Tweets>(json);
}
}
Good read:

- Calling a Web API From a .NET Client (C#)
- Official documentation: OAuth API, REST API, Streaming API
there is a linq to twitter project on codeplex:

Besides the Yedda library, you can read Pedro Santos' blog on his experience.
TweetSharp looks like it should be a decent option as well.
