During this chapter, we will be using the default templates for creating a Microsoft bot using the Bot Framework. At the time of writing, despite the release of .NET Core 3, the Bot Framework project was still being created in .NET 2.2. In a later section, we will see how to upgrade this to .NET Core 3; however, by the time this book is released, that may have changed.
In this chapter, you'll need an Azure subscription (we briefly covered how to create one in Chapter 2, Task Bug Logging ASP.NET Core MVC App Using Cosmos DB).
The code from this chapter can be found on GitHub at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/C-8-and-.NET-Core-3-Projects-Using-Azure-Second-Edition.
