using System.Net;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Independentsoft.Share;

namespace Sample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                Service service = new Service("https://independentsoft.sharepoint.com", "username", "password");
                
                Role role1 = new Role();
                role1.Name = "TestFullAccess";
                role1.Description = "Full access";
                role1.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.AllPermissions);

                Role role2 = new Role();
                role2.Name = "TestGuestAccess";
                role2.Description = "Guest permissions";
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewFormPages);
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewListItems);
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewPages);
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.BrowseDirectories);

                Role createdRole1 = service.CreateRole(role1);
                Role createdRole2 = service.CreateRole(role2);

                Console.WriteLine("Role 1 Id: " + createdRole1.Id);
                Console.WriteLine("Role 2 Id: " + createdRole2.Id);

                Console.Read();
            }
            catch (ServiceException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.ErrorCode);
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.ErrorString);
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.RequestUrl);
                Console.Read();
            }
            catch (WebException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message);
                Console.Read();
            }
        }
    }
}

Namespace Sample
    Class Module1
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())

            Try
                Dim service As New Service("https://independentsoft.sharepoint.com", "username", "password")
                

                Dim role1 As New Role()
                role1.Name = "TestFullAccess"
                role1.Description = "Full access"
                role1.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.AllPermissions)

                Dim role2 As New Role()
                role2.Name = "TestGuestAccess"
                role2.Description = "Guest permissions"
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewFormPages)
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewListItems)
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.ViewPages)
                role2.BasePermissions.Add(BasePermission.BrowseDirectories)

                Dim createdRole1 = service.CreateRole(role1)
                Dim createdRole2 = service.CreateRole(role2)

                Console.WriteLine("Role 1 Id: " & createdRole1.Id)
                Console.WriteLine("Role 2 Id: " & createdRole2.Id)

                Console.Read()

            Catch ex As ServiceException
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Message)
