Not sure how to do Oauth2 authentication to a web API in C#. If anyone has done so already, could please share some sample code, so I don't have to re-invent the wheel.

Today I finally got the answer my original question. The code snippet below.
public class Worker
{
private static string Base64Encode(string plainText)
{
var plainTextBytes = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(plainText);
return System.Convert.ToBase64String(plainTextBytes);
}
private string _accessToken;
public async void WaitForAuthToken()
{
using (var client = new HttpClient())
{
var request = new HttpRequestMessage()
{
RequestUri = new System.Uri($"{Settings.ServerUrl}restapi/oauth/token"),
Method = HttpMethod.Post,
};
request.Headers.TryAddWithoutValidation("Content-Type", @"application/x-www-form-urlencoded;charset=UTF-8");
request.Headers.Add("Authorization", $"Basic {Base64Encode($"{Settings.AppKey}:{Settings.AppSecret}")}");
request.Content = new FormUrlEncodedContent(new[] {
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("grant_type", "password"),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("username", Settings.PhoneNumber),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("password", Settings.Password),
new KeyValuePair<string, string>("extension", Settings.Extension)
});
var response = await client.SendAsync(request);
var responseContent = await response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync();
var d = (dynamic) Newtonsoft.Json.JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(responseContent);
_accessToken = d.access_token;
}
}
}
Simple really.

Hey Todd,
There is an unofficial C# SDK available here which might be of help: https://github.com/grokify/ringcentral-sdk-csharp-simple
There are examples for just obtaining the RingCentral SDK Client, and a simple example for sending an SMS message once you've authenticated.
