// virtual directory on the platform Web server
string virtualDirectory = "mscrmservices";
string strDir = "https://" + strServer + "/" + virtualDirectory + "/";

bizUser.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;
bizUser.Url = strDir + "BizUser.srf";
// CRMActivityAttachment proxy object
Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMActivityAttachment activityAttachment = new Microsoft.CRM.Proxy.CRMActivityAttachment ();
activityAttachment.Credentials = System.Net.CredentialCache.DefaultCredentials;

// Set up the XML string for the update

strColumnSetXml += "<column>subject</column>";
