d73c06fa8c .NET: Align skill folder discovery with spec (#5078)
* add class-based skills

* address formating issues

* Remove generated filtered-unit.slnx and add to .gitignore

The filtered solution file is generated dynamically by
eng/scripts/New-FilteredSolution.ps1 during CI. Checking it in
risks it becoming stale and out-of-sync with the real solution.

* fix build error

* Fix mixed path separators in skill folder discovery on .NET Framework

Path.Combine with forward-slash folder names (e.g. "scripts/f1") produces
mixed separators on Windows, causing the StartsWith containment check to
fail against Path.GetFullPath-resolved file paths. Wrap in Path.GetFullPath
to canonicalize separators before the containment comparison.

Quickstart

Basic Agent - .NET

using Azure.AI.OpenAI;
using Azure.Identity;
using Microsoft.Agents.AI;
using OpenAI.Responses;

var endpoint = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT")!;
var deploymentName = Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT_NAME")!;

var agent = new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new AzureCliCredential())
    .GetResponsesClient(deploymentName)
    .AsAIAgent(name: "HaikuBot", instructions: "You are an upbeat assistant that writes beautifully.");

Console.WriteLine(await agent.RunAsync("Write a haiku about Microsoft Agent Framework."));
