How to create user in salesforce using Web/REST API from c#?

I am working on a WCF service where I need to sync the users from Windows Active Directory to a Salesforce account. I don't want to use any 3rd party tool or service, but want to develop a new one. I tried to use Partner WSDL provided by salesforce, but couldn't get how I can utilize it to create a new user in salesforce. Please give me some pointer on how I can utilize Web/REST API to create a new user in salesforce. Any sample code or link which can explain it.

For Salesforce's REST API you can use SalesforceSharp.

The sample code below will create an user on your Salesforce account:

var client = new SalesforceClient();
var authenticationFlow = new UsernamePasswordAuthenticationFlow
(clientId, clientSecret, username, password);

client.Authenticate (authenticationFlow);

var user = new 
{
    Username = "[email protected]",
    Alias =  "userAlias",
    // The ID of the user profile (Standard User, System Administrator, etc).
    ProfileId = "00ei000000143vq", 
    Email = "[email protected]",
    EmailEncodingKey = "ISO-8859-1",
    LastName = "lastname",
    LanguageLocaleKey = "pt_BR",
    LocaleSidKey = "pt_BR",
    TimeZoneSidKey = "America/Sao_Paulo"
};

var id = client.Create ("User", user);
