Asp.net error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden

I create Dataset in asp.net but error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden. Console is working.

 

    public static string createDataset()
    {
        string rs = "";
        HttpWebRequest request = null;
        //string datasetJson = null;
        //Push data into a Power BI dashboard
        try
        {
            string powerBIDatasetsApiUrl = "https://api.powerbi.com/v1.0/myorg/datasets";
            //POST web request to create a dataset.
            //To create a Dataset in a group, use the Groups uri: https://api.PowerBI.com/v1.0/myorg/groups/{group_id}/datasets

            request = System.Net.WebRequest.Create(powerBIDatasetsApiUrl) as System.Net.HttpWebRequest;
            request.KeepAlive = true;
            request.Method = "POST";

            request.ContentType = "application/json";

            if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(token))
            {
                rs = "token is null. " + "<br/>";
                return rs;
            }

            //Add token to the request header
            request.Headers.Add("Authorization", String.Format("Bearer {0}", token));

            //Create dataset JSON for POST request
            string datasetJson = "{\"name\": \"CorporationProduct\", \"tables\": " +
                    "[{\"name\": \"Product\", \"columns\": " +
                    "[{ \"name\": \"ProductID\", \"dataType\": \"Int64\"}, " +
                    "{ \"name\": \"Name\", \"dataType\": \"string\"}, " +
                    "{ \"name\": \"Category\", \"dataType\": \"string\"}," +
                    "{ \"name\": \"IsCompete\", \"dataType\": \"bool\"}," +
                    "{ \"name\": \"ManufacturedOn\", \"dataType\": \"DateTime\"}" +
                    "]}]}";
            request.ContentLength = datasetJson.Length;
            //POST web request
            byte[] byteArray = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(datasetJson);
            request.ContentLength = byteArray.Length;

            //Write JSON byte[] into a Stream
            using (Stream writer = request.GetRequestStream())
            {
                writer.Write(byteArray, 0, byteArray.Length);
                writer.Close();
                var response = (HttpWebResponse)request.GetResponse(); // Error: The remote server returned an error: (403) Forbidden.
                rs += string.Format("Dataset {0}", response.StatusCode.ToString()) + "<br/>";
                rs += "createDataset operation is successfull." + "<br/>";
            }
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            rs += "createDataset encounters an error: ";
            rs += ex.Message;
        }
        return rs;
    }

The code snippet is good. As it works in a console, it shall work anywhere else. How you get the token? Try to debug the token value in your asp.net application. A valid token shall make it work.
