Creating an instance

Creates an instance of the Sc2RanksService. It takes three parameters.
* ApiKey: Your private SC2Ranks API key (http://www.sc2ranks.com/usercp/api)).
* Instance: Reference. Contains the instance if Ex is Nothing.
* CacheStream: Optional. Read/write stream for cache data.
* CacheConfig: Optional. Caching durations for all API calls.
* IgnoreFaultCacheStream: Optional, default False. True: If the cache stream is not readable not error will be returned. False: If the cache stream is not readable an error will be returned and no instance will be created.

Returns System.Exception if unsuccessful.

Calling a method (Sync)

Calls RankService.GetBasePlayerByBattleNetID. Takes multiple parameters depending on method. IgnoreCache and Result are always present.
* IgnoreCache: Optional, default False. If cache data is available then the cached data will be used and SC2Ranks will not be contacted.
* Result: Reference. Contains the result if Ex is Nothing.

Returns System.Exception if unsuccessful.

Calling a method (Async)

Calls RankService.GetCharacterBegin without waiting for the result. When the result is available the callback will be called.
* Key: Can be nothing. Useful it for tracking calls.
* Callback: Will be called when the result is available.a
