@helastel-omar-ebrahim Thanks for the feedback! I have assigned the issue to the content author to evaluate and update as appropriate.

The code snippets in that article are there for educational purposes, and don't make a complete sample. If you want to test an import/export sample, here's one in the C# SDK: https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-csharp/tree/main/iothub/service/samples/how%20to%20guides/ImportExportDevicesSample.

We'll update this article to point to this working sample for reference, and then close this issue when that's complete. Thank you for the feedback.
