  5. Network Interface

Notes to Attendees

Please follow the below steps before starting the lab.

  1. Login to the virtual machine using the given credentials.Then, open Visual Studio and Sign-in with the Azure credentials given in the lab details page.
  2. Add the ASP.NET and web development, Universal Windows Platform Development and .NET Desktop Development workloads by:
    • Using the Tools menu bar.
    • Once the Visual Studio Installer launches, select all the 3 workloads, and then choose Modify.
  3. The above step will take around 10-15 minutes to complete. Now open the Downloads folder in the desktop and move Bot Controller.zip and Bot Dialog.zip folders to "Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ItemTemplates\Visual C#" and Bot Application.zip folder to "Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Templates\ProjectTemplates\Visual C#"
  4. Attendees can navigate to https://aka.ms/biadstudent to get the lab related files.
