How to Update Default Root Object of Cloud front Distribution in C

You will need AWS's new modularized assemblies. 

AWSSKD.Core v3 & AWSSDK.Cloudfront will do the work.

First you need to get the current Distribution mostly for validation you'll need to grab the Etag and Caller Reference. Etag to var and Caller Reference to string.

    var client2 = new AmazonCloudFrontClient();
            var tag = client2.GetDistributionConfig(new GetDistributionConfigRequest
            {
                Id = "YOURDISTID"
            }).ETag;

            string cf = client2.GetDistributionConfig(new GetDistributionConfigRequest
            {
                Id = "YOURDISTID"
            }).DistributionConfig.CallerReference;
            client2.Dispose();
