#Initialization AutoRest generates a client type based on command-line inputs and the specification (see Defining Clients with Swagger. The generated client inherits from the ServiceClient base type which is in the Microsoft.Rest.ClientRuntime nuget package.

The client type has several constructors: ##Default Constructor The default constructor sets the Base URL of the client to the value provided in the specification. The client is configured to use anonymous authentication.

var myClient = new SwaggerPetstore();

##Constructor with Base URL The default Base URL from the specification can be overridden by passing a new URL when instantiating the client.

var myClient = new SwaggerPetstore(new Uri("https://contoso.org/myclient"));

##Constructor with Credentials

• Clients generated with the AddCredentials flag have a Credentials property and a constructor that accepts a Credentials object (see Authentication)

var myClient = new SwaggerPetstore(new BasicAuthenticationCredentials
	{
		UserName = "ContosoUser",
		Password = "P@$$w0rd"
	});

##Constructor with Delegating Handlers The generated client includes a constructor that includes all the optional parameters from above and a collection of delegating handlers (see Custom Http Handlers)

var myClient = new SwaggerPetstore(new MyCustomDelegatingHandler());
