// Creates a client named John Brown, with the email example@example.com with no company.
string userId = shareFile.CreateClient("John", "Brown", "example@example.com", "");

Error Handling (C++)

This method returns a String value; after it returns, call the GetLastErrorCode() method to obtain its result code; 0 indicates success, while a non-zero error code indicates that this method encountered an error during its execution. If an error occurs, the GetLastError() method can be called to retrieve the associated error message.
