Problem requesting Grant Token with C# desktop application

Problem requesting Grant Token with C# desktop application

Greetings,

I'm new Zoho and am looking to use the API via a C# desktop application.  I am following the first steps in the following guidelines to request a Grant Token and subsequently request Access and Refresh Tokens:


I have used the API Console to register a Self Client application as there is no user-interface to be dealt with...just a simple retrieval of data in the background.  

This is the C# code that I am using to fetch the Grant Token, but unfortunately, it's returning HTML code instead of JSON content containing what looks like Grant Token.  Have I missed the mark completely?

Thanks,
Scott
