Sample code to create a directory and then a sub-directory in a share in the Azure File Service. Dart

  // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
  // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

  // Note: The application does not need to explicitly set the following
  // headers: x-ms-date, Authorization.  These headers
  // are automatically set by Chilkat.
