    ResourceSpecId = _specId
};

// Create the appointment request.
AppointmentRequest appointmentReq = new AppointmentRequest
{
    RequiredResources = new RequiredResource[] { vanReq },
    Direction = SearchDirection.Backward,
    Duration = 60,
    NumberOfResults = 10,
    ServiceId = _plumberServiceId,
    // The search window describes the time when the resouce can be scheduled.
    // It must be set.
    SearchWindowStart = DateTime.Now.ToUniversalTime(),
    SearchWindowEnd = DateTime.Now.AddDays(7).ToUniversalTime(),
    UserTimeZoneCode = 1
};

// Verify whether there are openings available to schedule the appointment using this resource              
SearchRequest search = new SearchRequest
{
    AppointmentRequest = appointmentReq
};
SearchResponse searched = (SearchResponse)_serviceProxy.Execute(search);

if (searched.SearchResults.Proposals.Length > 0)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Openings are available to schedule the resource.");
}

' Create the van required resource object.
Dim vanReq As RequiredResource = New RequiredResource With {.ResourceId = _vanId, .ResourceSpecId = _specId}

' Create the appointment request.
Dim appointmentReq As AppointmentRequest = New AppointmentRequest With { _
    .RequiredResources = New RequiredResource() {vanReq}, .Direction = SearchDirection.Backward, _
    .Duration = 60, .NumberOfResults = 10, .ServiceId = _plumberServiceId, _
    .SearchWindowStart = Date.Now.ToUniversalTime(), .SearchWindowEnd = Date.Now.AddDays(7).ToUniversalTime(), _
    .UserTimeZoneCode = 1}
    ' The search window describes the time when the resouce can be scheduled.
    ' It must be set.

' Verify whether there are openings available to schedule the appointment using this resource                  
Dim search As SearchRequest = New SearchRequest With {.AppointmentRequest = appointmentReq}
Dim searched As SearchResponse = CType(_serviceProxy.Execute(search), SearchResponse)

If searched.SearchResults.Proposals.Length > 0 Then
    Console.WriteLine("Openings are available to schedule the resource..")
End If
