.NET C# ExtractBarcode Tutorial

// Simple program to make and process the results of an ExtractBarcode request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.
// In order to run this program, the following changes will need to be added:
//	1) Place your Application ID in the AppId variable in the InitClient method.
//	2) Place your Application Password in the Password variable in the InitClient method.
//
// The program will perform the following operations in order:
//	1)Perform an ExtractBarcode request to the LEADTOOLS CloudServices.  A successfully made request will return a unique identifier.
//	2)We will then query the services using the GUID -- if the file is finished processing, the body will contain all the 
//	  request data.
//	3)We will take the json data that was returned, parse it, and display all the information that was returned.     
//
// This program makes use of the following NuGet Packages:
//  1) Newtonsoft.Json
