Facebook graph API wall post alternative

I've been using a class based on Hernan Amiune's library for the Facebook graph API to allow website user's to write to their friends walls from my code. With the recent February changes the Graph API method to do this is no longer available.

Apparently I need to use the Feed Dialogue now, but can I call this from c# code? Does anyone have a sample or an alternative I can use?

In short can I write to someone's wall on behalf of another user using server side code only.

As of the February 6 breaking changes, you can no longer post to a user's friends' wall via the Graph API. This means you can't write on someone's wall on behalf of another user in any code language or SDK. You either have to use the Feed Dialog or use Mention Tagging or Action Tagging.

From the Facebook Developer Roadmap:

Stories that include friends via user mentions tagging or action tagging will show up on the friend’s timeline (assuming the friend approves the tag).

Have you looked at Feed Dialogue info which details a nice simple javascript example and even simpler a direct url example, to convert either to utilise C# seems an extremely trivial task.
