LinkedIn share content option like facebook request dialog

Question

I am trying to integrate the LinkedIn API into my VS 2012 C# MVC4.5 application.

I used the LinkedIn documentations to call API urls in my application. Currently I am working in the share API for my application. But I don't want to share the contents to all the members in my LinkedIn connections. I see there is option TextBox in the PopupBox to share the contents to the individual persons.

Is there is any option to list all the members with the CheckBox options like the Facebook request dialog.

Because some users forgot the member names in their connections.

Answer 1

No, currently there is no way to share to the individual persons using LinkedIn API or widgets. Only two options are available for share API. One of anyone: all members or connections-only: connections only.

Widget has only url, title, source and summary parameters. So even if you get the list of the connections via API and create your own dialog with checkboxes you still can't share via API or via dialog box to individuals.
