/// <summary>
/// Demonstrates the Book message
/// </summary>
/// <param name="service">The authenticated IOrganizationService instance</param>
static void BookExample(IOrganizationService service)
{
      // Get the current user information
      var userResponse = (WhoAmIResponse)service.Execute(new WhoAmIRequest());

      // Create the ActivityParty instance.
      Entity party = new("activityparty");
      party["partyid"] = new EntityReference("systemuser", userResponse.UserId);

      // Create the appointment instance.
      Entity appointment = new("appointment")
      {
         Attributes = {
            {"subject","Test Appointment" },
            {"description","Test Appointment created using the BookRequest Message." },
            {"scheduledstart", DateTime.Now.AddHours(1) },
            {"scheduledend", DateTime.Now.AddHours(2) },
            {"location","Office" },
            {"requiredattendees", new Entity[]{ party } },
            {"organizer", new Entity[]{ party } }
         }
      };

      // Use the Book request message.
      BookRequest request = new()
      {
         Target = appointment
      };
      var response = (BookResponse)service.Execute(request);

      Guid appointmentId = response.ValidationResult.ActivityId;

      // Verify that the appointment has been scheduled.
      if (appointmentId != Guid.Empty)
      {
         Console.WriteLine($"Successfully booked {appointment["subject"]}.");
      }
}
