📦 Using AgentsClientSDK NuGet Package in a WinUI 3 App

This guide shows how to use the AgentsClientSDK NuGet package in your WinUI 3 (.NET 8) project by downloading it from GitHub Releases and setting it up manually via a local NuGet source.

---

🔗 Step 1: Download the NuGet Package

1. Go to the Releases section of this repository.
2. Download the .nupkg file (e.g., AgentsClientSDK.1.0.0.nupkg) from the latest release.

---

🗂️ Step 2: Create a Local NuGet Package Source

1. Create a folder on your machine to act as a local NuGet feed, e.g.:

mkdir C:\LocalNuGet

2. Move the downloaded .nupkg file into that folder.

3. Register the folder as a NuGet source:

dotnet nuget add source "C:\LocalNuGet" --name LocalGitHubRelease

ℹ️ You only need to do this once per machine.

---

🛠️ Step 3: Create or Open Your WinUI 3 App

If you don’t already have a WinUI 3 app, you can create one:

dotnet new winui3 -n MyWinUIApp
cd MyWinUIApp

---

📦 Step 4: Add the Package to Your Project

Run this in your project folder:

dotnet add package Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK --version 1.0.0

Or use Visual Studio:

• Right-click the project → Manage NuGet Packages
• Select the LocalGitHubRelease source
• Search for Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK and install it

---

💬 Step 5: Use the Package in Your Code

Example usage:

using Com.Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK;
using Com.Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK.Config;
using Com.Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK.Services;

public sealed partial class MainWindow : Window
{
    private AgentsClientSDK _clientSDK;

    public MainWindow()
    {
        this.InitializeComponent();
        InitializeSDK();
    }

    private async void InitializeSDK()
    {
        _clientSDK = new AgentsClientSDK();

        var properties = new ClientSDKProperties
        {
            AgentId = "your-agent-id",
            DirectLineSecret = "your-directline-secret",
            EnableSpeech = true
        };

        await _clientSDK.StartConversationAsync(properties);
    }
}

---

🔧 Advanced Usage

// Speech service integration
var speechService = ClientSDKServiceFactory.GetSpeechService();
await speechService.StartListeningAsync();

// Agent event handling
var eventNotifier = ClientSDKServiceFactory.GetAgentEventNotifierService();
eventNotifier.OnAgentActivity += (sender, activity) => {
    Console.WriteLine($"Agent: {activity.Text}");
};

// Logging integration
var logger = Com.Microsoft.AgentsClientSDK.Utils.Logger.Instance;
logger.Information("SDK initialized successfully");

🔍 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

• Package Not Found: Check that the .nupkg file exists and the local source is registered via dotnet nuget list source
• Build Errors: Ensure the project targets .NET 8 and uses Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK
• Runtime Issues: Validate DirectLine and Azure credentials

Debug Configuration

var config = new ClientSDKProperties
{
    LogLevel = LogLevel.Debug,
    EnableConsoleLogging = true
};

var isConnected = await _clientSDK.TestConnectionAsync();
if (!isConnected)
{
    // Handle connection issues
}
