Run the SimpleClient C# application

You can use the SimpleClient sample application to test your setup and connectivity.
Prerequisites To Run the SimpleClient C# Application
Verify that the following conditions exist:
  1. Open a Visual Studio Tools command shell.
  2. Navigate to the subdirectory where the compiled object code is located.
    From the top-level directory of the SDK download, the directory is as follows:
    path_to_sdk
    \dotnet\cs\samples\SimpleClient\bin\Debug
  3. Run the application, passing at least the service URL, an authenticating user name, and a password on the command line.
    For a development environment, you do not need to use SSO or certificate authentication. You can authenticate directly with the server by specifying
    --disablesso
     and
    --ignorecert
     on the command line. For example: 
    simpleclient --url https://esx.exampledomain.com/sdk --username root --password secret 
             --disablesso --ignorecert
    The application connects to the server and displays a list of inventory objects managed by the server.
