How to get facebook access token in winforms

I'm new to the facebook c# sdk, and I'm trying to create a program that will post to a page's timeline.

I have been trying to follow this, however I'm having difficulty understanding the second code snippet since it makes use of the Request class, in asp.net. I can't find a way to translate this into WinForms.

(I did have to change the FacebookAPI to FacebookClient)

How can I achieve the same effect, of redirecting to facebook and receive the code to get an access token?

There is a specific Winforms sample for the facebook SDK available here: Facebook Sample using Facebook C# SDK with WinForms

This sample demonstrates the use of Facebook C# SDK v6 as a WinForms sample.

Note: This sample does not necessarily demonstrate the best use but rather features of using Facebook C# SDK on a desktop app. It is always recommended to use asynchronous (XAsync or XTaskAsync) methods rather then the synchronous methods. XTaskAsync methods are preferred over XAsync methods.

If you're just posting to your own page's timeline, the easiest way is probably a PowerShell script using the New-FBPost cmdlet: http://facebookpsmodule.codeplex.com
