   8. var googleUser = {};

   11. //Retrieve the singleton for the GoogleAuth library and set up the client.
   12. auth2 = gapi.auth2.init({
   13. client_id: '1047328192927-jch54k8ecj884h0ahfr685b9e10u23kd.apps.googleusercontent.com',
   14. secret_key: 'UCtG15hTOnTKzsPKsI8rMQ0X',
   15. cookiepolicy: 'single_host_origin',
   16. });
   17. attachSignin(document.getElementById('googleplus'));
   18. });
   19. };
   21. function attachSignin(element) {
   22. auth2.attachClickHandler(element, {}, function(googleUser) {
   23. debugger;
   24. $(".se-pre-con").show();
   25. console.log(googleUser);
   26. var profiles = googleUser.getBasicProfile();
   27. var ReturnUrl = 'http://localhost:58066/Home/ReturnURL';
   28. //Crate A Bunch Of Object for Search
   29. var objData = {
   30. Email: profiles.getEmail(),
   31. LastName: profiles.getFamilyName(),
   32. FirstName: profiles.getGivenName(),

   42. alert("Successfully Done");
   43. }
   44. });
   45. $(".se-pre-con").hide();
   46. }, function(error) {
   47. alert(JSON.stringify(error, #ff0000, 2));
   48. });
   49. } < /script> < script > startAppA(); < /script>
   50. }
