SergeyMenshykh 66e02c10e3 .NET: [Breaking] Migrate A2A agent and hosting to A2A SDK v1 (#5423)
* update a2a agent to the latest a2a sdk (#5257)

* Move A2A samples from 04-hosting to 02-agents (#5267)

Move the A2A sample projects (A2AAgent_AsFunctionTools and
A2AAgent_PollingForTaskCompletion) from samples/04-hosting/A2A/ to
samples/02-agents/A2A/ to better align with the sample directory
structure. Update solution file and samples README accordingly.

* .NET: Fix stream reconnection for A2AAgent (#5275)

* Add SSE stream reconnection support to A2AAgent

Implement automatic reconnection for SSE streams that disconnect mid-task,
using the Last-Event-ID header to resume from where the stream left off.

Changes:
- Add InvokeStreamingWithReconnectAsync method to A2AAgent with configurable
  max retries and delay between attempts
- Add new log messages for reconnection events
- Add A2AAgent_StreamReconnection sample demonstrating the feature
- Update existing polling sample to use simplified SendMessageAsync API
- Add unit tests for stream reconnection logic

* address comments

* Address PR review feedback

- Dispose SSE enumerator before GetTaskAsync fallback to release HTTP connection
- Wrap StreamWriter in using blocks with leaveOpen:true and explicit UTF-8 encoding
- Print update.Text instead of update object in stream reconnection sample

* .NET: Use IA2AClientFactory to create A2AClient (#5277)

* Refactor A2A extensions to use IA2AClientFactory and add ProtocolSelection sample

- Update A2AAgentCardExtensions to accept IA2AClientFactory instead of A2AClientOptions
- Update A2ACardResolverExtensions to accept IA2AClientFactory
- Update A2AClientExtensions to accept IA2AClientFactory
- Update A2AAgent to use IA2AClientFactory for client creation
- Add A2AAgent_ProtocolSelection sample demonstrating protocol selection
- Add comprehensive unit tests for all changes
- Update README files with new sample reference

* Reorder params: options before loggerFactory in A2A extensions

Move A2AClientOptions parameter before ILoggerFactory in AsAIAgent
and GetAIAgentAsync extension methods to follow the repo convention
of keeping LoggerFactory and CancellationToken as the last parameters.

  and AIAgentExtensions into new A2AServerServiceCollectionExtensions
- Remove A2AProtocolBinding and AIAgentExtensions (consolidated)

* restore AsyncEnumerable package version

* address copilot initial feedback

* address automated code review and formatting issues

* fix formatting issues

* Add DI wiring verification tests for AddA2AServer

Add three tests to A2AServerServiceCollectionExtensionsTests that verify
custom keyed services are actually wired through to the A2AServer, not
just that the server resolves non-null:

- Custom IAgentHandler: verifies the keyed handler is invoked when
  processing a SendMessageRequest instead of the default A2AAgentHandler.
- Custom AgentSessionStore (no handler): verifies the keyed session
  store's GetSessionAsync is called during request processing when no
  custom handler is registered.
- Default stores end-to-end: verifies the InMemoryAgentSessionStore and
  InMemoryTaskStore defaults successfully process a request. Uses a new
  CreateAgentMockForRequests helper that includes SerializeSessionCoreAsync
  setup needed by InMemoryAgentSessionStore.

All tests call A2AServer.SendMessageAsync directly (no HTTP layer needed)
and use CancellationToken timeouts to guard against hangs.

Agent Framework Samples

The agent framework samples are designed to help you get started with building AI-powered agents from various providers.

The Agent Framework supports building agents using various inference and inference-style services. All these are supported using the single ChatClientAgent class.

The Agent Framework also supports creating proxy agents, that allow accessing remote agents as if they were local agents. These are supported using various AIAgent subclasses.

Sample Structure

Folder Description
01-get-started/ Progressive tutorial: hello agent → hosting
02-agents/ Deep-dive by concept: tools, middleware, providers, orchestrations
03-workflows/ Workflow patterns: sequential, concurrent, state, declarative
04-hosting/ Deployment: Azure Functions, Durable Tasks
05-end-to-end/ Full applications, evaluation, demos

Getting Started

Start with 01-get-started/ and work through the numbered files:

  1. 01_hello_agent — Create and run your first agent
  2. 02_add_tools — Add function tools
  3. 03_multi_turn — Multi-turn conversations with AgentSession
  4. 04_memory — Agent memory with AIContextProvider
  5. 05_first_workflow — Build a workflow with executors and edges
  6. 06_host_your_agent — Host your agent via Azure Functions

Additional Samples

Some additional samples of note include:

  • Agents: Basic steps to get started with the agent framework. These samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionalities of the agent framework when using the AIAgent and can be used with any underlying service that provides an AIAgent implementation.
  • Agent Providers: Shows how to create an AIAgent instance for a selection of providers.
  • Agent Telemetry: Demo which showcases the integration of OpenTelemetry with the Microsoft Agent Framework using Azure OpenAI and .NET Aspire Dashboard for telemetry visualization.
  • Durable Agents - Azure Functions: Samples for using the Microsoft Agent Framework with Azure Functions via the durable task extension.
  • Durable Agents - Console Apps: Samples demonstrating durable agents in console applications.

Migration from Semantic Kernel

If you are migrating from Semantic Kernel to the Microsoft Agent Framework, the following resources provide guidance and side-by-side examples to help you transition your existing agents, tools, and orchestration patterns. The migration samples map Semantic Kernel primitives (such as ChatCompletionAgent and Team orchestrations) to their Agent Framework equivalents (such as ChatClientAgent and workflow builders).

For an in-depth migration guide, see the official migration documentation.

Prerequisites

For prerequisites see each set of samples for their specific requirements.
