Hi,

There are probably more elegant / efficient solutions but the code i have used to return the token is below. i have used the Newtonsoft Json package to help parse the response.

Function access_token()
Dim wHeader As WebHeaderCollection = New WebHeaderCollection()

wHeader.Clear()
Dim clientid As String = "Enter your client id"
Dim clientsecret As String = "Enter your client secret"
Dim idsecret As String
idsecret = clientid + ":" + clientsecret
Dim encodedidsecret = System.Convert.ToBase64String(System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(idsecret))
Dim token As String

Dim request As System.Net.WebRequest = System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create("https://Enter you domain/MobiControl/api/token")
request.Method = "POST"
request.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

Dim outgoingQueryString As NameValueCollection = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(String.Empty)
outgoingQueryString.Add("grant_type", "password")
outgoingQueryString.Add("username", "Enter your username")
outgoingQueryString.Add("password", "Enter your password")
outgoingQueryString.Add("client_id", clientid)
outgoingQueryString.Add("client_secret", clientsecret)
outgoingQueryString.Add("content-Length", 53)
outgoingQueryString.Add("Host", "Enter your domain without https://")
Dim postBytes As Byte() = New ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(outgoingQueryString.ToString())

Dim poststream As Stream = request.GetRequestStream
poststream.Write(postBytes, 0, postBytes.Length)
poststream.Flush()
poststream.Close()

Dim sresponse As String

Using response As WebResponse = request.GetResponse()
Using streamReader As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(response.GetResponseStream())
sresponse = streamReader.ReadToEnd
Dim json1 As String = "{'root': " & sresponse & " }"
Dim doc As XmlDocument = JsonConvert.DeserializeXmlNode(json1)
Dim nodes As XmlNodeList = doc.DocumentElement.SelectNodes("/root")
For Each node As XmlNode In nodes

token = node.SelectSingleNode("access_token").InnerText
Next

End Using

End Using

Return token

End Function
