# Create an Agency Client Object

This page contains information about creating an agency client object.

## Why Create an Agency Client Object

You can create an agency client object if you are an embedded partner who wants to create sub-accounts to your main account.

## How To Create an Agency Client Object

Use the sample code below as a model to create your own API call.

## Sample .NET Code

```
    /**
    * Code to create Sub-Accounts. Applicable to Embedded Clients.
    * Account Type is called "Agency-Client" in Code it is PRO_CONNECT_CLIENT
    */
public void CreateAccount()
{
    string strAttributes = "";
    string status = null; // overall status flag
    string requestID = null;
    // '---------------------------------------------
    // '****** CREATINFG NULL ARRAY OF CREATE RESULT.
    CreateResult[] results;
    //'----------------------------------------------
    //'****** CREATING NEW INSTANCE OF ACCOUNT CLASS.
    Account objNewAccount = new Account();
    //'----------------------------------------------------------------
    //'****** SETTING ALL REQUIRED VALUES FOR THE ACCOUNT CREATION.
    objNewAccount.Name = "OMNIE Account";
    objNewAccount.PartnerKey = partnerKey;
    objNewAccount.FromName = "OMNIE Account";
    objNewAccount.BusinessName = "OMNIE Account";
    objNewAccount.Email = "johndoe@example.com";
    objNewAccount.Address = "D - 108, Sector - II";
    objNewAccount.City = "Chicago";
    objNewAccount.State = "IL";
    objNewAccount.Zip = "20130";
        objNewAccount.EditionID = 3; //EditionID for Agency Edition
        objNewAccount.EditionIDSpecified = true;
    objNewAccount.AccountType = AccountTypeEnum.PRO_CONNECT_CLIENT;
    try
    {
        // '****** SENDING REQUEST TO THE EXACT TARGET TO CREATE THE ACCOUNT.
        results = soapClient.Create(null, new APIObject[] {
        objNewAccount} , out requestID, out status);
        Console.WriteLine(status);
        Console.WriteLine(results[0].StatusCode.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine(results[0].StatusMessage.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine(results[0].ErrorCode.ToString());
        Console.WriteLine(results[0].NewID.ToString());
    }
    catch (Exception e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
    }
}
```
