If you're using the OAuth 2 "code" flow, the code returned on the redirect URI is an "authorization code", not an "access token". You'll need to exchange the authorization code for an access token. You can find more information on that in the documentation:

https://www.dropbox.com/developers/documentation/http/documentation#authorization

The OAuth guide may also be helpful:

By the way, based on your code it looks like you may not be using the official Dropbox API v2 .NET SDK. We highly recommend using it if possible:
