Demonstrates how to refresh an OAuth2 Yahoo Mail access token. C#

bool success = false;

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

//  It is assumed we previously obtained an OAuth2 access token.
//  This example loads the JSON access token file 
//  saved by this example: Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token

Chilkat.JsonObject jsonToken = new Chilkat.JsonObject();

//  The access token JSON looks like this:

//  {
//    "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
//    "refresh_token": "AIenVWETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Dj9ToRG.xDbDYmZ55WIs5t6CZhDkD",
//    "expires_in": 3600,
//    "token_type": "bearer",
//    "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF6JB4YDOWHITPJFBHCWA"
//  }

//  Replace these with actual values.

//  Send the HTTP POST to refresh the access token..
success = oauth2.RefreshAccessToken();
if (success != true) {

//  The response contains a new access token, but we must keep
//  our existing refresh token for when we need to refresh again in the future.

//  Save the new JSON access token response to a file.
