(C#) Ecwid Get OAuth2 Access Token

See more Ecwid Examples

Demonstrates how to get an OAuth2 access token for an Ecwid application.

IMPORTANT: This example is for desktop apps. Web applications should follow representative examples at ASP.NET Samples for Obtaining OAuth2 Access Tokens or at Classic ASP Samples for Obtaining OAuth2 Access Tokens

Please read about Ecwid Authentication Basics prior to attempting this example.

// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// At this point, your application should load the URL in a browser.
// For example, 
// in C#: System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(url);
// in Java: Desktop.getDesktop().browse(new URI(url));
// in VBScript: Set wsh=WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
//              wsh.Run url
// in Xojo: ShowURL(url)  (see http://docs.xojo.com/index.php/ShowURL)
// in Dataflex: Runprogram Background "c:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe" sUrl        
// The Microsoft account owner would interactively accept or deny the authorization request.

// Add the code to load the url in a web browser here...
