(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) OAuth2 for a GMail using a JSON Service Account Key

Demonstrates how get an OAuth2 access token for GMail (Google Service Account) using a JSON private key.

After the access token is obtained, it may be used to send email. When the access token expires, a new access token needs to be obtained (using this same procedure).

Note: This is for OAuth2 using Google Service account keys.

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

' First load the JSON key into a string.
Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim jsonKey As String = fac.ReadEntireTextFile("qa_data/googleApi/ChilkatTest-ab2ecd52ef98.json","utf-8")
If (fac.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(fac.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' A JSON private key should look like this:
