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

// This example uses a previously obtained access token having permission for the 
// Google Calendar scope.

// In this example, Get Google Calendar OAuth2 Access Token, the access
// token was saved to a JSON file.  This example fetches the access token from the file..
Chilkat.JsonObject jsonToken = new Chilkat.JsonObject();

// Let's get the primary calendar.  A calendar ID could have be used instead of "primary".
