Description
Azure Resource Manager SDK for Bot Service in .NET. Management plane operations for creating and managing Azure Bot resources, channels (Teams, DirectLine, Slack), and connection settings.

Azure.ResourceManager.BotService (.NET)

Management plane SDK for provisioning and managing Azure Bot Service resources via Azure Resource Manager.

Installation

dotnet add package Azure.ResourceManager.BotService
dotnet add package Azure.Identity

Current Versions: Stable v1.1.1, Preview v1.1.0-beta.1

Environment Variables

AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID=<your-subscription-id>
# For service principal auth (optional)
AZURE_TENANT_ID=<tenant-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_ID=<client-id>
AZURE_CLIENT_SECRET=<client-secret>

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();

Resource Hierarchy

ArmClient
└── SubscriptionResource
    └── ResourceGroupResource
        └── BotResource
            ├── BotChannelResource (DirectLine, Teams, Slack, etc.)
            ├── BotConnectionSettingResource (OAuth connections)
            └── BotServicePrivateEndpointConnectionResource

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 botCollection.GetAsync("myBotName");

// Update using patch
var updateData = new BotData(bot.Data.Location)
{
    Properties = new BotProperties(
        displayName: "Updated Bot Name",
        endpoint: bot.Data.Properties.Endpoint,
        msaAppId: bot.Data.Properties.MsaAppId)
    {
        Description = "Updated description"
    }
};

await bot.UpdateAsync(updateData);

8. Delete Bot

BotResource bot = await botCollection.GetAsync("myBotName");
await bot.DeleteAsync(WaitUntil.Completed);

Best Practices

  1. Always use DefaultAzureCredential — supports multiple auth methods
  2. Use WaitUntil.Completed for synchronous operations
  3. Handle RequestFailedException for API errors
  4. Use async methods (*Async) for all operations
  5. Store MSA App credentials securely — use Key Vault for secrets
  6. Use managed identity (BotMsaAppType.UserAssignedMSI) for production bots
  7. Enable secure sites for DirectLine channels in production

Error Handling

using Azure;

try
{
    var operation = await botCollection.CreateOrUpdateAsync(
        WaitUntil.Completed, 
        botName, 
        botData);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 409)
{
    Console.WriteLine("Bot already exists");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"ARM Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}
