Facebook.FacebookAPI api = new Facebook.FacebookAPI(token);
JSONObject me = api.Get("/" + fbConnect.UserID);
JSONObject friendsData = api.Get("/me/friends");
var data = friendsData.Dictionary["data"];
List<JSONObject> friendsList = data.Array.ToList<jsonobject>();
 
ViewData["Name"] = me.Dictionary["name"].String;
ViewData["Friends"] = friendsList;

here is how you can do that from javaScript API OF facebook 



<script type="text/javascript" src="../includes/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
  FB.init({
    appId: 'your_app_id',
    status: true, // check login status
    cookie: true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
    xfbml: true  // parse XFBML
 
  });
 
  FB.getLoginStatus(function (response) {
    if (response.session) {
      //getting current logged in user's id from session object
      globaluserid = response.session["uid"];
      //fetching friends uids from 'friend' table. We are using FB.api syntax
      FB.api(
      {
        method: 'fql.query',
        query: 'SELECT uid1 FROM friend WHERE uid2=' + globaluserid
      },
function (response) {
 
//once we get the response of above select query we are going to parse them
for (i = 0; i < response.length; i++) {
  //fetching name and square profile photo of each friends
  FB.api({
    method: 'fql.query',
    query: 'SELECT name,pic_square FROM user WHERE uid=' + response[i].uid1
  },
function (response) {
//creating img tag with src from response and title as friend's name
htmlcontent = '<img src=' + response[0].pic_square + ' title=' + response[0].name + ' />';
//appending to div based on id. for this line we included jquery
$("#friendslist").append(htmlcontent);
}
);
}
}
);
    } else {
      // no user session available, someone you dont know
      top.location.href = "../kfb_login.php";
    }
  });
</script>
<div id="fb-root">
</div>
<table width="100%" border="0">
  <tr>
    <td align="left">
      <div id="friendslist">
      </div>
    </td>
  </tr>
</table>

Facebook provide the Plugin for that the list of plug in which has been provide by facebook are listed on http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ so you can use that plugin even if u want to use the API of facebook then also you can use that API but for that contact you need to do some manually coding for it

keep you friend list in List<Friend>, call foreach loop on List<Friend>, and retrieve information something like this


var listOfFriends = new List<Friend>();
// populate listOfFriends after FaceBook call
foreach(Friend friend in listOfFriends)
{
     friend.Name // this is name of your friend use it to insert Name into Db
     // same way get values for other properties of your Friend class and
     // insert it into DB
}


Refer this links on how to use the API

For this you have to integrate Facebook to your website.

Follow these steps-

Step 1 - Create / Open Web Site for Intended Integration

The sample included here is written using the ASP.NET platform, but any web framework will do. Create a new, blank project or open your existing project now.

Step 2 - Create a Cross-Domain Communication Channel File

The Facebook developer wiki has the following to say about the role of this file.

The Facebook JavaScript Client Library uses a cross-domain communications library to establish communication between third-party Web pages and Facebook pages and services inside a browser. To reference the library, you need to create a cross-domain communications channel file. For more details, please visit the link below.

Facebook Wiki - Cross Domain Communications

Technical details aside, we need to create one of these! It's quit simple really. Just create a new HTML file entitled 'xd_receiver.htm' and add the following code to the file.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"> 
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> 
    <body> 
   
      <script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/XdCommReceiver.js" 
        type="text/javascript"></script> 
   
    </body> 
    </html> 


Place this file in the root directory of your web application, and we're done this step.

Step 3 - Add Facebook XML Namespace to HTML Tag

NOTE - All code below this point belongs in the HTML document in which we wish to integrate Facebook Connect. In the case of the sample project, this is Default.aspx.

In order for our HTML document to validate, we need to inform it that it's ok to use some FBML (Facebook Markup Langague) mixed in with our HTML. This is a one liner.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"> 

Step 4 - Add a Reference to the Facebook JavaScript Feature Loader

This step enables access to the Facebook features such as XFBML, the JavaScript API, etc. Another one liner.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

    <script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php" 
      type="text/javascript"></script> 

Step 5 - Create the Facebook Connect Login Button

Now for the fun part. By adding a single line of FBML markup, we generate a Facebook Connect login button.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

    <fb:login-button onlogin="alert('Authenticated!');"></fb:login-button> 


There are two items worth noting here. The first is the event handler 'onlogin' you see in the markup. This event fires when a user successfully authenticates with Facebook. By capturing this event, we can notify the user an perform any necessary actions.

The second is just a small note. By setting length='long' on the fb:login-button, we will render a longer, more detailed button to the user. Both are seen below.


Take your pick, they both look great and suit a certain environment.

Final Step - Initialize Facebook Connect

Just before the closing body tag in your HTML markup, add the following line.

view plaincopy to clipboardprint?

    <script type="text/javascript"> 
      FB.init("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", "xd_receiver.htm"); 
    </script> 


IMPORTANT NOTE -- You MUST replace "YOUR_API_KEY_HERE" with the API key you find in your application details in the Developer application on Facebook!

Testing Your Work

In order to test your work, upload xd_receiver.htm and any other project files you have created to the Callback URL you specified when creating the application. Launch a browser, and you should see the following.
