    The /redirect_receiver page you're using is just a blank page on dropbox.com for receiving the redirect. You'll want to send the user elsewhere or just close the browser after that, depending on what you want your app to do.

As a first step, I recommend running the SimpleBlogDemo sample app and looking through how that works. For example, HomeController.cs shows how to use these methods to set up and process the OAuth app authorization flow.
