Google provides a .net api that should solve your problem.

https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/wiki/OAuth2

———EDIT——-

Step 1: Sign up to use google api’s. It’s free and the process to do so is described in the link above.

Step 2: Implement the code below. I borrowed it from the link above.

using System;
using System.Diagnostics;
using DotNetOpenAuth.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Authentication.OAuth2;
using Google.Apis.Authentication.OAuth2.DotNetOpenAuth;
using Google.Apis.Samples.Helper;
using Google.Apis.Tasks.v1;
using Google.Apis.Tasks.v1.Data;
using Google.Apis.Util;

namespace Google.Apis.Samples.TasksOAuth2
{
    /// <summary>
    /// This sample demonstrates the simplest use case for an OAuth2 service. 
    /// The schema provided here can be applied to every request requiring   authentication.
    /// </summary>
    public class Program
    {
    public static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        // Display the header and initialize the sample.
        CommandLine.EnableExceptionHandling();
        CommandLine.DisplayGoogleSampleHeader("Tasks API");

        // Register the authenticator.
        var provider = new NativeApplicationClient(GoogleAuthenticationServer.Description);
        provider.ClientIdentifier = "<client id>";
        provider.ClientSecret = "<client secret>";
        var auth = new OAuth2Authenticator<NativeApplicationClient>(provider, GetAuthorization);

        // Create the service.
        var service = new TasksService(auth);
        TaskLists results = service.Tasklists.List().Fetch();
        Console.WriteLine("Lists:");
        foreach (TaskList list in results.Items)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("- " + list.Title);
        }
        Console.ReadKey();
    }

    private static IAuthorizationState GetAuthorization(NativeApplicationClient arg)
    {
        // Get the auth URL:
        IAuthorizationState state = new AuthorizationState(new[] { TasksService.Scopes.Tasks.GetStringValue() });
        state.Callback = new Uri(NativeApplicationClient.OutOfBandCallbackUrl);
        Uri authUri = arg.RequestUserAuthorization(state);

        // Request authorization from the user (by opening a browser window):
        Process.Start(authUri.ToString());
        Console.Write("  Authorization Code: ");
        string authCode = Console.ReadLine();
        Console.WriteLine();

        // Retrieve the access token by using the authorization code:
        return arg.ProcessUserAuthorization(authCode, state);
    }
}

}
