Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say you are "unable to receive code in the redirect URI"? What are you trying, and what isn't working as expected?

For using the OAuthResponseType.Code flow, I recommend checking out the SimpleBlogDemo example, which has that implemented here:

https://github.com/dropbox/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/blob/d0b609bf7ca97051eb91f3802b49931389ba7404/dropbox-sdk-dotnet/Examples/SimpleBlogDemo/Controllers/HomeController.cs#L176

If you want to see the OAuthResponseType.Token flow, you can refer to the SimpleTest example instead:
