Class Sample
Public Shared Sub Main()
Dim rs As New ReportingService2005()
rs.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials

Console.WriteLine("Connection String: {0}", definition.ConnectString)
Console.WriteLine("Extension name: {0}", definition.Extension)
Catch e As SoapException
Console.WriteLine(e.Detail.InnerXml.ToString())
End Try
End Sub 'Main
