I m trying to POST the request using RestSharp client as follows I m passing the Auth Code to following function

public void ExchangeCodeForToken(string code)
{
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(code))
    {
        OnAuthenticationFailed();
    }
    else
    {           
        var request = new RestRequest(this.TokenEndPoint, Method.POST);
        request.AddParameter("code", code);
        request.AddParameter("client_id", this.ClientId);
        request.AddParameter("client_secret", this.Secret);
        request.AddParameter("redirect_uri", "urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob");
        request.AddParameter("grant_type", "authorization_code");
        request.AddHeader("content-type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");

        client.ExecuteAsync<AuthResult>(request, GetAccessToken);
    }
}

void GetAccessToken(IRestResponse<AuthResult> response)
{
    if (response == null || response.StatusCode != HttpStatusCode.OK
                         || response.Data == null 
                         || string.IsNullOrEmpty(response.Data.access_token))
    {
        OnAuthenticationFailed();
    }
    else
    {
        Debug.Assert(response.Data != null);
        AuthResult = response.Data;
        OnAuthenticated();
    }
}

My RestSharp POST method:

var client = new RestClient(ServiceUrl);

var request = new RestRequest("/resource/", Method.POST);

// Json to post.
string jsonToSend = JsonHelper.ToJson(json);

request.AddParameter("application/json; charset=utf-8", jsonToSend, ParameterType.RequestBody);
request.RequestFormat = DataFormat.Json;

try
{
    client.ExecuteAsync(request, response =>
    {
        if (response.StatusCode == HttpStatusCode.OK)
        {
            // OK
        }
        else
        {
            // NOK
        }
    });
}
catch (Exception error)
{
    // Log
}
