Authentication
using Azure.Identity;
using Azure.ResourceManager;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;
// Authenticate using DefaultAzureCredential
var credential = new DefaultAzureCredential();
ArmClient armClient = new ArmClient(credential);
// Get subscription and resource group
SubscriptionResource subscription = await armClient.GetDefaultSubscriptionAsync();
ResourceGroupResource resourceGroup = await subscription.GetResourceGroups().GetAsync("myResourceGroup");
// Access bot collection
BotCollection botCollection = resourceGroup.GetBots();

Core Workflows
1. Create Bot Resource
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService;
using Azure.ResourceManager.BotService.Models;
// Create bot data
var botData = new BotData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
Kind = BotServiceKind.Azurebot,
Sku = new BotServiceSku(BotServiceSkuName.F0),
Properties = new BotProperties(
displayName: "MyBot",
endpoint: new Uri("https://mybot.azurewebsites.net/api/messages"),
msaAppId: "<your-msa-app-id>")
{
Description = "My Azure Bot",
MsaAppType = BotMsaAppType.MultiTenant
}
};
// Create or update the bot
ArmOperation<BotResource> operation = await botCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
"myBotName",
botData);
BotResource bot = operation.Value;
Console.WriteLine($"Bot created: {bot.Data.Name}");
2. Configure DirectLine Channel
// Get the bot
BotResource bot = await resourceGroup.GetBots().GetAsync("myBotName");
// Get channel collection
BotChannelCollection channels = bot.GetBotChannels();
// Create DirectLine channel configuration
var channelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
Properties = new DirectLineChannel()
{
Properties = new DirectLineChannelProperties()
{
Sites =
{
new DirectLineSite("Default Site")
{
IsEnabled = true,
IsV1Enabled = false,
IsV3Enabled = true,
IsSecureSiteEnabled = true
}
}
}
}
};
// Create or update the channel
ArmOperation<BotChannelResource> channelOp = await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
BotChannelName.DirectLineChannel,
channelData);
Console.WriteLine("DirectLine channel configured");
3. Configure Microsoft Teams Channel
var teamsChannelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
Properties = new MsTeamsChannel()
{
Properties = new MsTeamsChannelProperties()
{
IsEnabled = true,
EnableCalling = false
}
}
};
await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
BotChannelName.MsTeamsChannel,
teamsChannelData);
4. Configure Web Chat Channel
var webChatChannelData = new BotChannelData(AzureLocation.WestUS2)
{
Properties = new WebChatChannel()
{
Properties = new WebChatChannelProperties()
{
Sites =
{
new WebChatSite("Default Site")
{
IsEnabled = true
}
}
}
}
};
await channels.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
WaitUntil.Completed,
BotChannelName.WebChatChannel,
webChatChannelData);
5. Get Bot and List Channels
// Get bot
BotResource bot = await botCollection.GetAsync("myBotName");
Console.WriteLine($"Bot: {bot.Data.Properties.DisplayName}");
Console.WriteLine($"Endpoint: {bot.Data.Properties.Endpoint}");
// List channels
await foreach (BotChannelResource channel in bot.GetBotChannels().GetAllAsync())
{
Console.WriteLine($"Channel: {channel.Data.Name}");
}
6. Regenerate DirectLine Keys
var regenerateRequest = new BotChannelRegenerateKeysContent(BotChannelName.DirectLineChannel)
{
SiteName = "Default Site"
};
BotChannelResource channelWithKeys = await bot.GetBotChannelWithRegenerateKeysAsync(regenerateRequest);
7. Update Bot
BotResource bot = await bot
