The documentation for the .NET OAuth library is missing critical information #457

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Follow the instructions for the sample at
https://developers.google.com/api-client-library/dotnet/guide/aaa_oauth#web_appl
ications

What is the expected output?
A working application

What do you see instead?
Errors about the redirect URL where the URL sent to google is a string I never 
wrote anywhere. I tried searching my entire solution for it, and it's no where!

I finally found the redirect URL in the source code for the library
https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/source/browse/Src/GoogleApis.
Auth.Mvc4/OAuth2/Mvc/FlowMetadata.cs#46

The docs should be improved by indicating this property is absolutely critical.

The method should be declared abstract because the callback URL should not be 
implicit.
