Google Api .NET Library OAuth2 Authentication

Question

I am attempting some experiments using the code samples provided near the bottom of the page

Below are extracts of my VB.NET code based on the link above. Somewhere in the translation I'm missing what is going on here:

Dim auth = New OAuth2Authenticator(Of NativeApplicationClient)(provider, GetAuthorization)

The GetAuthorization method has a signature:

GetAuthorization(arg As NativeApplicationClient)

I am clearly missing something very obvious about the syntax translation between C# and VB.NET, because there is no parameter supplied at the method call in the C# version on the link I supplied.

It would be easier if you just posted the C# code you are trying to translate rather than making us open a link and find it on another page. — Steven Doggart

A quick search on the google api .net client for oauth2, I found this page: code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/OAuth2 which shows usage using the OAuth2Authenticator. I think he's only trying to create a new object like they do in their example. — Pierre-Luc Champigny

You must specify the AddressOf parameter to reference a method.

Dim auth = New OAuth2Authenticator(Of NativeApplicationClient)(provider, AddressOf GetAuthorization)

Thank you; there's apparently a lot I don't fully understand about delegates and .net
