Demonstrates how to refresh a Google Access Token. C#

// 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: Google OAuth2 Access Token

// The access token JSON looks like this:

// 	{ 
// 	 "access_token": "abac.Ci-ZabcdF37-NUrmSzxbHxTsMbtlN-uPfabcdAQN_2ekzj0s5ofCzRabcdTDMGaa2Q",
