Question on OAuth in v2 with access token in C# library

[RichZ5]

If I just run the code and let it try to generate an access token, it fails giving:

CTCT.Exceptions.CtctException was unhandled
HResult=-2146233088
Message=http.status.unauthorized:No authentication is present.

Source=CTCT
StackTrace:
at CTCT.Services.ListService.GetLists(String accessToken, String apiKey) in c:\dev\projects\.net-sdk\CTCTWrapper\Services\ListService.cs:line 33
at CTCT.ConstantContact.GetLists() in c:\dev\projects\.net-sdk\CTCTWrapper\ConstantContact.cs:line 410

Here was the code I tried:

ConstantContact cc = new ConstantContact();
var lists = cc.GetLists();

Now, if I just create an access token on the Mashery site and create a new constructor that uses that access token, everything works fine:

ConstantContact cc = new ConstantContact(apiKey, accessToken);
var lists = cc.GetLists();

Am I supposed to be using the Mashery-generated token, or is the library supposed to be able to generate it at runtime?

Hi Rich,

The .NET wrapper doesn't currently have the ability to generate an access token, so you would have to get that from the I/O Docs page right now.  Sorry about that.

You should probably update the code or docs then because the current constructor gives the impression that it DOES create an access token via:

public ConstantContact()
{
     InitializeFields();
     this.AccessToken = this.OAuth.GetAccessToken();
     this.APIKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["APIKey"];
}

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the feedback.  From what I understand, that piece is still in development, but I will double back and make sure it's updated to work.
