RespondPageWithJSRedirect() - where is this defined?
Hi,
I am trying to set-up a Dropbox connection in .NET (Xamarin to be precise). I am following http://dropbox.github.io/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/html/T_Dropbox_Api_DropboxOAuth2Helper.htm. When I start typing in "RespondPageWithJSRedirect()" it isn't being detected anywhere by intellisense (Visual Studio 2017). I've got all the usings that have been specified on the quoted page, so I'm either mssing a nuget, or another using, or something like that. When I search for this string on the gitgub page https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/blob/master/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Dropbox.Api/DropboxOauth2Helper.cs it only finds 2 instances - a comment and the call itself. Where is this defined? What do I need to add?
thanks,
Donald.
Apologies for the confusion! The SDK doesn't offer an implementation of RespondPageWithJSRedirect. That's intended to be whatever page you wish to show to the user at that point in the process. (E.g., it can optionally contain a message for the user, and whatever branding/styling you want for your app.)
Here's where this is done in the example, and here's the HTML page, including the minimum JavaScript necessary, used for that example.

I see, thanks for the feedback!
For the current issue, since you modified the code, please revert to the original SimpleTest code (or switch to a fresh copy). You should only have to add your app key; no other code changes are necessary for that sample.
It sounds like the app is hanging waiting on the user to come back to the previously configured redirect URI, but you may have accidentally changed what that path is, meaning it will never match.
Woo hoo! Success! :-)

It was actually getting stuck at the line before the one you have highlighted, but in any case loading in a fresh copy, and knowing what to put into the website now, got it all working. :-)
Now that we've got that little proof of concept done on my computer, I can get back to MY program and try and work out why IT'S not working (but now I can compare directly to SimpleTest, sicne I know that works). Will let you know how I go.
BTW, I still recommend you fix up that hint text (and be more specific with people when they ask what needs to go there). It DOES NOT work unless you include a port (and in the case of SimpleTest, you must also include the authorize). A proper example in the hint (i.e. showing that you need to the port number too) would be helpful.
Thanks! :-)
