Wish for Merchants -- Get OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App

Demonstrates how to get a Wish for Merchants OAuth2 access token from a desktop application or script. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' To further clarify, see OAuth 2.0 Authorization Flow

' This example is for desktop applicatons (it is not for code that runs on a web server).

' This is the way to initially obtain the OAuth2 access token.  Afterwards it can be 
' repeatedly refreshed without user interaction, as shown in this example: Refresh Wish OAuth2 Access Token.

' For a desktop app, you must provide a script on your web server to redirect to "http://localhost/<portNumber>"

' Your applicaton must use your own public web server as an intermediate
' to receive and forward the redirect to localhost.
