What happened?

The ConsoleApp sample does not compile right out of the box. I would expect it to compile and guide to how to configure

client

WebAPI (Default)

Relevant log output

The build failed. Fix the build errors and run again.

@Lybecker - Seems like this is something to do with a misconfigured reference in the csproj of that example. As that example isn't actively in use in the library, this, shouldn't be a showstopper but it's still annoying and we should fix it.

Marking this as approved.

After talking to @pritipath , this is not a bug. It was by design. Please refer to the documentation on how to build and run the ConsoleApp

[Lybecker]

Okay. For ease of use for the consumer, I would expect to be able to compile and execute the code right away. If you do not include the project reference, make it very clear which assembly to link to

[juzuluag]

Sounds good. We will enhance the current documentation. Thanks for the feedback.
