Introduction
Bots can be built using .NET bots in two ways:
- Use the Symphony bot generator. Launch the generator, choose the .NET language and select your template.
- Use symphony-apiclient-dotnet, the Symphony .NET client NuGet package, and add it as a dependency of your .NET application.
The remainder of this document describes the Symphony .NET client NuGet package .

//Package Manager

{
SymBotClient symBotClient = new SymBotClient();
DatafeedEventsService datafeedEventsService = new DatafeedEventsService();
SymConfig symConfig = symBotClient.initBot("PATH");
RoomListener botLogic = new BotLogic();
DatafeedClient datafeedClient = datafeedEventsService.init(symConfig);
Datafeed datafeed = datafeedEventsService.createDatafeed(symConfig, datafeedClient);
datafeedEventsService.addRoomListener(botLogic);
datafeedEventsService.getEventsFromDatafeed(symConfig, datafeed, datafeedClient);
