{
    public class SMASamples
    {
        public static void Main()
        { 
            // Replace this with the name of your SMA web service endpoint.
            string serviceEndPoint = "https://sma-server:9090/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";                      

            // Setup the connection to SMA
            OrchestratorApi SMAService = new OrchestratorApi(new Uri(serviceEndPoint));

            // Set credentials to the default or to a specific user.
            ((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
            //((DataServiceContext)SMAService).Credentials = new NetworkCredential("user", "pwd", "domain");

            try
            {
                // Identify a specific connection instance to search for.
                var connectionID = new Guid("5b2be649-2d17-4d3a-861c-02656b6fae21");

                // Query for the specific connection instance identified by ConnectionID.
                var connection = SMAService.Connections.Where(r => r.ConnectionID == connectionID).FirstOrDefault();

                // Delete the connection object.
                // Note: This action is queued up until the SaveChanges action is called.
                SMAService.DeleteObject(connection);

                // Save all pending actions (client -> server communication initiated).
                SMAService.SaveChanges();

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                throw new ApplicationException("An error occurred during execution.", ex);
            }
