HRESULT Connect();
Returns S_OK if the method succeeds; otherwise, an error code is returned.
You can call Connect at any time after initializing the object. Generally, however, you should call Connect as early as possible. This ensures that the method has time to complete the connection before your application needs to transmit data.
