+
+- Writing custom checks with `FunctionEvaluator.Create` for domain-specific logic
+- Checking that a customer support agent doesn't refuse to help
+- Verifying responses contain actionable steps (numbered lists or bullet points)
+- Enforcing response length constraints
+- Combining multiple custom checks into a `LocalEvaluator`

+
+- .NET 10 SDK or later
+- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (`az login`)

+# Evaluation - Multimodal
+
+This sample demonstrates that the evaluation pipeline preserves multimodal content. When conversations include images, `EvalChecks.HasImageContent` can verify they survived into the `EvalItem`.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- Building `EvalItem` objects with `UriContent` image content
+- Using built-in `EvalChecks.HasImageContent` to detect images in conversations
+- Comparing image vs. text-only conversations to show when the check passes/fails
+- Evaluating directly with `LocalEvaluator.EvaluateAsync()` (no agent needed)
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10 SDK or later
+
+No Azure credentials or environment variables are required for this sample since it evaluates locally without calling an agent.
+
+## Run the sample
+
+```powershell
+cd dotnet/samples/02-agents/Evaluation
+dotnet run --project .\Evaluation_Multimodal
+```

+# Evaluation - Workflow Eval
+
+This sample demonstrates evaluating a multi-agent workflow with per-agent breakdown.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- Building a two-agent workflow (planner → executor)
+- Running the workflow and collecting events
+- Using `run.EvaluateAsync()` to evaluate the completed run
+- Per-agent sub-results via `results.SubResults`
+- Combining `FunctionEvaluator.Create` with `EvalChecks.KeywordCheck`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10 SDK or later
+- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (`az login`)
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```powershell

+## What this sample demonstrates

+- **LastTurn** (default): Evaluates whether the last response was good given all prior context
+- **Full**: Evaluates whether the entire conversation trajectory served the original request
+- **PerTurnItems**: Splits a conversation into one `EvalItem` per user turn for independent evaluation
+- Building multi-turn conversations with `FunctionCallContent` and `FunctionResultContent`
+- Using `ConversationSplitters.LastTurn` and `ConversationSplitters.Full`
+- Using `EvalItem.PerTurnItems()` to decompose a conversation
+
+## Prerequisites
+

+# Evaluation - Mixed Providers
+
+This sample demonstrates mixing local and cloud evaluators in a single evaluation run.
+
+## What this sample demonstrates
+
+- **Local-only evaluation**: Fast, API-free checks for inner-loop development
+- **Cloud-only evaluation**: Full Foundry evaluators for comprehensive quality assessment
+- **Mixed evaluation**: Local + Foundry evaluators in a single `EvaluateAsync()` call
+- Using `EvalChecks.KeywordCheck` and `EvalChecks.ToolCalledCheck` for local checks
+- Using `FoundryEvals` for cloud-based relevance and coherence evaluation
+- Combining both in one call returns one `AgentEvaluationResults` per provider
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- .NET 10 SDK or later
+- Azure CLI installed and authenticated (`az login`)
+
+Set the following environment variables:
+
+```powershell
+$env:AZURE_AI_PROJECT_ENDPOINT="https://your-foundry-service.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/your-foundry-project"
+$env:AZURE_AI_MODEL_DEPLOYMENT_NAME="gpt-4o-mini"
+```
+
+## Run the sample
+
+```powershell
+cd dotnet/samples/05-end-to-end/Evaluation
+dotnet run --project .\Evaluation_MixedProviders
