OAuth 2.0 (Google API) authentication from a WPF desktop application
google-api, google-latitude, oauth-2.0, wpf
Solution
There's a sample WPF application that uses the google-api-dotnet-client library in the project repository:
https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-dotnet-client
This sample app uses the Tasks API, but it should be pretty easy to adapt it to use the Latitude API instead.
Problem
I would like to use OAuth 2.0 from within a WPF application I am developing but I am stuck. It appears that the OAuth 2.0 works by forwarding you to a website and getting you confirm details. Of course this is a WPF app, and I wonder if there are any work-arounds. Specifically I am trying to authenticate with OAuth 2.0 for use with the google latitude API located here ``` https://developers.google.com/latitude/v1/using#auth ``` Are there examples of how to authenticate against OAuth 2.0 from a WPF desktop app?
