string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";
// BizUser proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser bizUser = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.BizUser ();
bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMLead proxy object
Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMLead lead = new Microsoft.Crm.Platform.Proxy.CRMLead ();
lead.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
