For the following pages we will be expanding on the following code. You should paste this code into a new C# console application.

None of the features will work until you add the service references to the solutions explorer and created a local user called API with the appropriate permissions.

The upcoming pages will tell you start writing between the // START WRITING CODE HERE and the // STOP WRITING CODE HERE lines.
