        {
            try
            {
                // Set the Marketing service URL.
                string marketingWebServiceUrl = @"https://localhost/MarketingWebService/MarketingWebService.asmx";
                // Create an instance of the Marketing System agent.
                MarketingServiceAgent ma = new MarketingServiceAgent(marketingWebServiceUrl);
                MarketingContext marketingSystem = MarketingContext.Create(ma);

                // Create a new public promotion code (limit one per basket).
                PromoCodeDefinition promo = marketingSystem.PromoCodeDefinitions.NewPromoCodeDefinition(PromoCodeUsageOption.Public, 1);
                promo.Name = "Promo1";
                promo.UsageLimit = 100;
                promo.PublicPromoCode = "BigDiscount99";
                promo.Save(true);
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Exception: {0}\r\nMessage: {1}", ex.GetType(), ex.Message);
                if (ex.InnerException != null)
                    Console.WriteLine("\r\nInner Exception: {0}\r\nMessage: {1}", ex.InnerException.GetType(), ex.InnerException.Message);
                Console.ReadLine();
