The first step is always authentication. You can find your username and api key in the Rackspace Cloud Control Panel. Once you have your identity configured, pass it to the service constructor and go to town!
using net.openstack.Core.Domain;
using net.openstack.Providers.Rackspace;
using Rackspace.CloudNetworks.v2;
// Configure identity used for authentication
var identity = new CloudIdentity
{
Username = username,
APIKey = apiKey
};
var identityService = new CloudIdentityProvider(identity);
// Construct any service and pass in the identityService
var networkService = new CloudNetworkService(identityService);
// Do cool things here...
