Walmart Partner API Authentication (Generate a Signature for a Request)

Demonstrates how to generate a signature for a Walmart Partner REST API call. C#

// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Set bLocal = true for a timestamp in the local timezone.  Set bLocal = false for a UTC timestamp.

// within some reasonable margin of error (to account for systems having clocks
// that may be slightly different).
