Examples
The following code example adds complex rules for an audience called "John and Joe Connection". This example uses AND, OR, and ( and ) operators to combine multiple rules and to group rules.
Note
If you create an audience with complex rules, you cannot view or edit its properties or delete it by using the user interface. However, you can use the user interface to view its membership.
Replace servername and other strings with actual values before running the code example. Also add the following references in your Microsoft Visual Studio project:
