## Client Hierarchy
```
PersistentAgentsClient
├── Administration → Agent CRUD operations
├── Threads → Thread management
├── Messages → Message operations
├── Runs → Run execution and streaming
├── Files → File upload/download
└── VectorStores → Vector store management
```
## Core Workflow
### 1. Create Agent
```csharp
var modelDeploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME");
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
model: modelDeploymentName,
name: "Math Tutor",
instructions: "You are a personal math tutor. Write and run code to answer math questions.",
tools: [new CodeInterpreterToolDefinition()]
);
```
### 2. Create Thread and Message
```csharp
// Create thread
PersistentAgentThread thread = await client.Threads.CreateThreadAsync();
// Create message
await client.Messages.CreateMessageAsync(
thread.Id,
MessageRole.User,
"I need to solve the equation `3x + 11 = 14`. Can you help me?"
);
```
### 3. Run Agent (Polling)
```csharp
// Create run
ThreadRun run = await client.Runs.CreateRunAsync(
thread.Id,
agent.Id,
additionalInstructions: "Please address the user as Jane Doe."
);
// Poll for completion
do
{
await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromMilliseconds(500));
run = await client.Runs.GetRunAsync(thread.Id, run.Id);
}
while (run.Status == RunStatus.Queued || run.Status == RunStatus.InProgress);
// Retrieve messages
await foreach (PersistentThreadMessage message in client.Messages.GetMessagesAsync(
threadId: thread.Id,
order: ListSortOrder.Ascending))
{
Console.Write($"{message.Role}: ");
foreach (MessageContent content in message.ContentItems)
{
if (content is MessageTextContent textContent)
Console.WriteLine(textContent.Text);
}
}
```
### 4. Streaming Response
```csharp
AsyncCollectionResult<StreamingUpdate> stream = client.Runs.CreateRunStreamingAsync(
thread.Id,
agent.Id
);
await foreach (StreamingUpdate update in stream)
{
if (update.UpdateKind == StreamingUpdateReason.RunCreated)
{
Console.WriteLine("--- Run started! ---");
}
else if (update is MessageContentUpdate contentUpdate)
{
Console.Write(contentUpdate.Text);
}
else if (update.UpdateKind == StreamingUpdateReason.RunCompleted)
{
Console.WriteLine("\n--- Run completed! ---");
}
}
```
### 5. Function Calling
```csharp
// Define function tool
FunctionToolDefinition weatherTool = new(
name: "getCurrentWeather",
description: "Gets the current weather at a location.",
parameters: BinaryData.FromObjectAsJson(new
{
Type = "object",
Properties = new
{
Location = new { Type = "string", Description = "City and state, e.g. San Francisco, CA" },
Unit = new { Type = "string", Enum = new[] { "c", "f" } }
},
Required = new[] { "location" }
}, new JsonSerializerOptions { PropertyNamingPolicy = JsonNamingPolicy.CamelCase })
);
// Create agent with function
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
model: modelDeploymentName,
name: "Weather Bot",
instructions: "You are a weather bot.",
tools: [weatherTool]
);
// Handle function calls during polling
do
{
await Task.Delay(500);
run = await client.Runs.GetRunAsync(thread.Id, run.Id);
if (run.Status == RunStatus.RequiresAction
&& run.RequiredAction is SubmitToolOutputsAction submitAction)
{
List<ToolOutput> outputs = [];
foreach (RequiredToolCall toolCall in submitAction.ToolCalls)
{
if (toolCall is RequiredFunctionToolCall funcCall)
{
// Execute function and get result
string result = ExecuteFunction(funcCall.Name, funcCall.Arguments);
outputs.Add(new ToolOutput(toolCall, result));
}
}
run = await client.Runs.SubmitToolOutputsToRunAsync(run, outputs, toolApprovals: null);
}
}
while (run.Status == RunStatus.Queued || run.Status == RunStatus.InProgress);
```
### 6. File Search with Vector Store
```csharp
// Upload file
PersistentAgentFileInfo file = await client.Files.UploadFileAsync(
filePath: "document.txt",
purpose: PersistentAgentFilePurpose.Agents
);
// Create vector store
PersistentAgentsVectorStore vectorStore = await client.VectorStores.CreateVectorStoreAsync(
fileIds: [file.Id],
name: "my_vector_store"
);
// Create file search resource
FileSearchToolResource fileSearchResource = new();
fileSearchResource.VectorStoreIds.Add(vectorStore.Id);
// Create agent with file search
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
model: modelDeploymentName,
name: "Document Assistant",
instructions: "You help users find information in documents.",
tools: [new FileSearchToolDefinition()],
toolResources: new ToolResources { FileSearch = fileSearchResource }
);
```
### 7. Bing Grounding
```csharp
var bingConnectionId = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_BING_CONNECTION_ID");
BingGroundingToolDefinition bingTool = new(
new BingGroundingSearchToolParameters(
[new BingGroundingSearchConfiguration(bingConnectionId)]
)
);
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
model: modelDeploymentName,
name: "Search Agent",
instructions: "Use Bing to answer questions about current events.",
tools: [bingTool]
);
```
### 8. Azure AI Search
```csharp
AzureAISearchToolResource searchResource = new(
connectionId: searchConnectionId,
indexName: "my_index",
topK: 5,
filter: "category eq 'documentation'",
queryType: AzureAISearchQueryType.Simple
);
PersistentAgent agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(
model: modelDeploymentName,
name: "Search Agent",
instructions: "Search the documentation index to answer questions.",
tools: [new AzureAISearchToolDefinition()],
toolResources: new ToolResources { AzureAISearch = searchResource }
);
```
### 9. Cleanup
```csharp
await client.Threads.DeleteThreadAsync(thread.Id);
await client.Administration.DeleteAgentAsync(agent.Id);
await client.VectorStores.DeleteVectorStoreAsync(vectorStore.Id);
await client.Files.DeleteFileAsync(file.Id);
```

## Best Practices
1. **Always dispose clients** — Use `using` statements or explicit disposal
2. **Poll with appropriate delays** — 500ms recommended between status checks
3. **Clean up resources** — Delete threads and agents when done
4. **Handle all run statuses** — Check for `RequiresAction`, `Failed`, `Cancelled`
5. **Use streaming for real-time UX** — Better user experience than polling
6. **Store IDs not objects** — Reference agents/threads by ID
7. **Use async methods** — All operations should be async
## Error Handling
```csharp
using Azure;
try
{
var agent = await client.Administration.CreateAgentAsync(...);
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex) when (ex.Status == 404)
{
Console.WriteLine("Resource not found");
}
catch (RequestFailedException ex)
{
Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Status} - {ex.ErrorCode}: {ex.Message}");
}
```
