How do I get an OAuth 2.0 authentication token in C#

Question

I have these settings:

• Auth URL (which happens to be a \"https://login.microsoftonline.com/...\") if that helps.
• Access Token URL \"https://service.en

Here is a complete example. Right click on the solution to manage nuget packages and get Newtonsoft and RestSharp:

using Newtonsoft.Json.Linq;
using RestSharp;
using System;


namespace TestAPI
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            String id = "xxx";
            String secret = "xxx";

            var client = new RestClient("https://xxx.xxx.com/services/api/oauth2/token");
            var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);
            request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
            request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
            request.AddParameter("application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "grant_type=client_credentials&scope=all&client_id=" + id + "&client_secret=" + secret, ParameterType.RequestBody);
            IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

            dynamic resp = JObject.Parse(response.Content);
            String token = resp.access_token;            

            client = new RestClient("https://xxx.xxx.com/services/api/x/users/v1/employees");
            request = new RestRequest(Method.GET);
            request.AddHeader("authorization", "Bearer " + token);
            request.AddHeader("cache-control", "no-cache");
            response = client.Execute(request);
        }        
    }
}
