// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMSalesLiterature proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMSalesLiterature salesliterature = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMSalesLiterature();
