-description: > How to build, run and verify the .NET sample projects in the Agent Framework repository. Use this when a user wants to verify that the samples still function as expected.
----
-
-# Verifying .NET Sample Projects
-
-## Sample Pre-requisites
-
-We should only support verifying samples that:
-1. Use environment variables for configuration.
-2. Have no complex setup requirements, e.g., where multiple applications need to be run together, or where we need to launch a browser, etc.
-
-Always report to the user which samples were run and which were not, and why.
-
-## Verifying a sample
-
-Samples should be verified to ensure that they actually work as intended and that their output matches what is expected.
-For each sample that is run, output should be produced that shows the result and explains the reasoning about what output
-was expected, what was produced, and why it didn't match what the sample was expected to produce.
-
-Steps to verify a sample:
-1. Read the code for the sample
-1. Check what environment variables are required for the sample
-1. Check if each environment variable has been set
-1. If there are any missing, give the user a list of missing environment variables to set and terminate
-1. Summarize what the expected output of the sample should be
-1. Run the sample
-1. Show the user any output from the sample run as it gets produced, so that they can see the run progress
-1. Check the output of the run against expectations
-1. After running all requested samples, produce output for each sample that was verified:
-  1. If expectations were matched, output the following:
-     ```text
-     [Sample Name] Succeeded
-     ```
-  1. If expectations were not matched, output the following:
-     ```text
-     [Sample Name] Failed
-     Actual Output:
-     [What the sample produced]
-     Expected Output:
-     [Explanation of what was expected and why the actual output didn't match expectations]
-     ```
-
-## Environment Variables
-
-Most samples use environment variables to configure settings.
-
-```csharp
-var endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT") ?? throw new InvalidOperationException("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT is not set.");
-var deploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME") ?? "gpt-4o-mini";
-```
-
-To run a sample, the environment variables should be set first.
-Before running a sample, check whether each environment variable in the sample has a value and
-then give the user a list of environment variables to set.
-
-You can provide the user some examples of how to set the variables like this:
-
-```bash
-export AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT="https://my-openai-instance.openai.azure.com/"
-export AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
-```
-
-To check if a variable has a value use e.g.:
-
-```bash
-echo $AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT
-```
-
-## How to Run a Sample (General Pattern)
-
-```bash
-cd dotnet/samples/<category>/<sample-dir>
-dotnet run
-```
-
-For multi-targeted projects (e.g., Durable console apps), specify the framework:
-
-```bash
-dotnet run --framework net10.0
-```
