A brief background first: The Bot framework stores the conversation data within a storage either Azure tables/Cosmos DB (Azure tables in my case). For each conversation there is an entry made into the Azure table with the timestamp, userid, conversation messages and other details.
I am trying to retrieve the conversation details from Azure table storage using custom code in C# as shown below.
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.CloudStorageAccount.Parse(connectionString);
Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Table.CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference("botdata");
TableQuery<DynamicTableEntity> projectionQuery = new TableQuery<DynamicTableEntity>().Where(TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", QueryComparisons.Equal, "directline:user"));
var dataRow = table.ExecuteQuery(projectionQuery).Where(q => q.RowKey == "souvik").FirstOrDefault();
var conversation = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(dataRow.Properties["Data"].BinaryValue);
Console.WriteLine(conversation);
I am getting some gibberish text, something like this- \u001f�\b\0\0\0\0\0\u0004\0��\u0005\0C���\u0002\0\0\0 when I retrieve the data stored in Binary format in the Azure table storage. The data looks something like as shown below in the Azure storage explorer-
I have tried and tested for each conversation and I have seen that each time I type and send a data to the bot and get a response, new records are getting added to the Azure table with correct timestamp. Is it the correct way of retrieving the data or am I doing something wrong? Let me know if I can add more details.
Update-1:
I have referred this- How to retrieve Saved Conversation Data in Azure (Tablelogger) but did not get much help my issue.
Update-2
Based on Fei's answer below, I just noticed when I use the PartitionKey as directline:user or directline:conversation I get the deserialized values as {} but if I use directline:private I get somthing like this-
{"ResumptionContext":{"locale":"en-US","isTrustedServiceUrl":true},

I have a feeling that the DialogState data in the JSON above needs to be decrypted?
For every message I type and the response I receive, there are three records inserted into the Azure table each with a different PartitionKey which are- directline:private, directline:user and directline:conversation.
Binary data in Azure Table Storage is stored as Base64 encoded string. What you would need to do is convert this string to bytes first and then get the string from those bytes.
Something like:
var conversation = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(Convert.FromBase64String(dataRow.Properties["Data"].BinaryValue));
If you’d like to use WindowsAzure.Storage client library to retrieve entities from table storage and extract data from Data property, you can refer to the following code.
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = CloudStorageAccount.Parse("DefaultEndpointsProtocol=https;AccountName={your_account_name};AccountKey={your_account_key};EndpointSuffix=core.windows.net");
CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
CloudTable table = tableClient.GetTableReference("botdata");
TableQuery<MessageEntity> query = new TableQuery<MessageEntity>().Where(TableQuery.GenerateFilterCondition("PartitionKey", QueryComparisons.Equal, "emulator:user"));
foreach (MessageEntity entity in table.ExecuteQuery(query))
{
string mydata = "";
using (var msi = new MemoryStream(entity.Data))
using (var mso = new MemoryStream())
{
using (var gs = new GZipStream(msi, CompressionMode.Decompress))
{
gs.CopyTo(mso);
}
mydata = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(mso.ToArray());
}
object data = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(mydata);
//.....
}
MessageEntity:
public class MessageEntity : TableEntity
{
public MessageEntity(string pk, string rk)
{
this.PartitionKey = pk;
this.RowKey = rk;
}
public MessageEntity() { }
public string BotId { get; set; }
public string ChannelId { get; set; }
public string ConversationId { get; set; }
public byte[] Data { get; set; }
public string UserId { get; set; }
}
Test result:
Note:
In source code, you can find the Data property defined as byte[] in the BotDataEntity class.
In Jason Sowers's reply, he has shared the information about serialize and deserialize of the Data property.
I am assuming you are using the botbuilder-azure package
don't do this in a dialog because you can just access the same data in the context object. it just happens to be where I wrote the code
It's actually as simple as this:
private async Task MessageReceivedAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<object> result)
{
var activity = await result as Activity;
IBotDataStore<BotData> table = new TableBotDataStore(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["StorageConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
//use the type of state data you need
var userData = await table.LoadAsync(Address.FromActivity(activity), BotStoreType.BotUserData, CancellationToken.None );
var privateConvoData = await table.LoadAsync(Address.FromActivity(activity), BotStoreType.BotPrivateConversationData, CancellationToken.None );
var convoData = await table.LoadAsync(Address.FromActivity(activity), BotStoreType.BotConversationData, CancellationToken.None);
//in this case I am just replying with the data, but do what you need with it here
var reply = activity.CreateReply(userData.Data.ToString());
var reply2 = activity.CreateReply(privateConvoData.Data.ToString());
var reply3 = activity.CreateReply(convoData.Data.ToString());
await context.PostAsync(reply);
await context.PostAsync(reply2);
await context.PostAsync(reply3);
context.Wait(MessageReceivedAsync);
}
If you notice in the source for botbuilder-azure there is a serialize and deserialize method. Where this happens:
private byte[] Serialize(object data)
{
using (var cmpStream = new MemoryStream())
using (var stream = new GZipStream(cmpStream, CompressionMode.Compress))
using (var streamWriter = new StreamWriter(stream))
{
var serializedJSon = JsonConvert.SerializeObject(data, serializationSettings);
streamWriter.Write(serializedJSon);
streamWriter.Close();
stream.Close();
return cmpStream.ToArray();
}
}
So the data you need is compressed into the "jibberish" you were seeing. When accessing the data via the LoadAsync method it is also being decompressed like here:
private object Deserialize(byte[] bytes)
{
using (var stream = new MemoryStream(bytes))
using (var gz = new GZipStream(stream, CompressionMode.Decompress))
using (var streamReader = new StreamReader(gz))
{
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(streamReader.ReadToEnd());
}
}
deserialize is called inside the LoadAsync method in the return statement return new BotData(entity.ETag, entity.GetData()); It its the GetData() method like below:
internal ObjectT GetData<ObjectT>()
{
return ((JObject)Deserialize(this.Data)).ToObject<ObjectT>();
}

I have a problem with downloading CosmosDb data, even when doing it like in the tutorial.
So in the beginning, my CosmosDb looks like this:
I tried to simply add a new class:
public class CaseModel
{
[JsonProperty("_id")]
public string Id { get; set; }
[JsonProperty("vin")]
public string Vin { get; set; }
}
and then just do like it is mentioned in the documentation
using (FeedIterator<Case> iterator = collection.GetItemLinqQueryable<Case>(true).ToFeedIterator())
{
while (iterator.HasMoreResults)
{
foreach (var item in await iterator.ReadNextAsync())
{
var x = item;
}
}
}
This way, the code iterates over many elements (like it is working),
but the properties are always null - as if the mapping would not work:
Then I tried something like this
using (FeedIterator<Case> feedIterator = collection.GetItemQueryIterator<Case>(
"select * from cases",
null,
new QueryRequestOptions() { PartitionKey = new PartitionKey("shardedKey") }))
{
while (feedIterator.HasMoreResults)
{
foreach (var item in await feedIterator.ReadNextAsync())
{
var x = item;
}
}
}
But this query returns no results.
I have no idea what is wrong.
Lately I was working with CosmosDb on Azure some year ago, and was doing some similar things.
The only thing that I think is strange, that the elements are marked as 'documents'
In the end, my code which should work looks like this
var dbClient = new CosmosClient(info.ConnectionString);
var db = dbClient.GetDatabase(info.DatabaseName);
var collection = db.GetContainer(info.Collection);
using (FeedIterator<CaseModel> iterator = collection.GetItemLinqQueryable<CaseModel>(true)
.ToFeedIterator())
{
while (iterator.HasMoreResults)
{
foreach (var item in await iterator.ReadNextAsync())
{
var x = item;
}
}
}
In the debug windows, I see that 3 steps at the beginning (like connect with connection string, then get database then get-container) work.
You are mixing APIs. The SDK you are referencing to (Microsoft.Azure.Cosmos) is the SQL API SDK: https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/cosmos-db/sql/sql-api-sdk-dotnet-standard
The screenshot in your question is from a Mongo API account.
Either you use a SQL API account with that SDK or you use the C# Mongo driver to interact with your Mongo API account.
SQL API accounts use id as the property for Ids/document identifier, not _id.
I am trying to save Binary data to FHIR DB.
This is my method:
public static Patient SavePdfForms(string resource, HttpClientEventHandler messageHandler, string[] pdfForms, Patient patient, FhirClient BinaryBundleClient)
{
Bundle BinaryBundle = new Bundle();
BinaryBundle.Type = Bundle.BundleType.Collection;
try
{
foreach (var item in pdfForms)
{
Binary BinaryData = new Binary();
var bytearray = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(item);
BinaryData.Data = bytearray;
BinaryData.ContentType = "application/fhir+json";
var binaryResource = BinaryBundleClient.Create(BinaryData);
BinaryBundle.AddResourceEntry(BinaryData, resource + "/BundleResource/" + binaryResource.Id);
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
throw;
}
var bundleId = BinaryBundleClient.Create(BinaryBundle);
patient.Identifier.Add(new Identifier("BinaryBundle", bundleId.Id));
return BinaryBundleClient.Update(patient);
}
The string[] of pdfForms is base64 and for each form I am creating a new binary and adding data and content type. But the line var binaryResource = BinaryBundleClient.Create(BinaryData); throws an error and data is not a valid json. I tried with different content type but that is not working. Any ideas why?
Assuming you are creating a new resource instance in BinaryBundleClient.Create(BinaryData) and the server to store it.
In your case, you directly pass the binary information in Fhirclient.Create(your data)
binaryResource = BinaryBundleClient.Create(BinaryData);
You must mention the type of the resource instance which follows:
Create Fhir client
var client = new FhirClient("http://server.fire.ly");
After Creating FhirClient You have to create a new resource instance. It will be like
var pat = new Patient() { /* set up data */ };
var created_pat = client.Create<Patient>(pat);
this interaction will throw an Exception when things go wrong, in most cases a FhirOperationException. This exception has an Outcome property that contains an OperationOutcome resource, and which you may inspect to find out more information about why the interaction failed. Most FHIR servers will return a human-readable error description in the OperationOutcome to help you out.

I would like to get collection via string and insert many json via string. How to do it? I don`t want to prepare object via C# class because my schema will change all the time and this is easy way.
code
const string connectionString = "mongodb://user:password#localhost:27017/myDB";
var client = new MongoClient(connectionString);
var db = client.GetDatabase("myDB");
var col = db.GetCollection("mycollection")
string insert = "[("Element1":"Test"),("Element2":"Test")]";
col.insertMany(insert);
my assemblies
MongoDB.Bson
MongoDB.Driver
MongoDB.Driver.Core
MongoDB.Libmongocrypt
ok. I found solution
public static async Task SaveToCollation(IMongoDatabase database, string collectionName, string json)
{
var collection = database.GetCollection<BsonDocument>(collectionName);
await collection.InsertOneAsync(BsonDocument.Parse(json));
}
I created a simple text file in NotePad, it is a .txt file. I want to push this data to an azure table, but I'm not sure how to go about doing this in c#. Does anyone know how I can push some sample data from my computer to an azure table? Thanks!
There are three basic steps for doing this:
Read the text file into memory.
We can do that with a single line of code:
string text = System.IO.File.ReadAllText(#"C:\Users\Public\TestFolder\WriteText.txt");
Authenticate to Azure Tables.
You will need to get the relevant nuget packages for Azure Storage. You could write the code without the SDK, but I don't recommend it.
CloudStorageAccount storageAccount = new CloudStorageAccount(
new Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Storage.Auth.StorageCredentials(
"<name>", "<account-key>"), true);
// Create the table client.
CloudTableClient tableClient = storageAccount.CreateCloudTableClient();
// Get a reference to a table named "textTable"
CloudTable textTable = tableClient.GetTableReference("textTable");
Write to Azure Tables.
We need to make a class that defines the data structure we are uploading into storage. Every entity must have a row key and a partition key.
public class TextEntity : TableEntity
{
public TextEntity(string partitionKey, string rowKey)
{
this.PartitionKey = partitionKey;
this.RowKey = rowKey;
}
public TextEntity() { }
public string Text { get; set; }
}
We can then use that class to create the object that we will then upload to storage.
var tableEntry = new TextEntry("partitionKey", "rowKey");
tableEntry.Text = text;
TableOperation insertOperation = TableOperation.Insert(tableEntry);
// Execute the insert operation.
await textTable.ExecuteAsync(insertOperation);
Question Background:
Update:
I'm still not sure how to go about extracting the relevant information from this response. I have tried setting my response type to JSON but still receive the response as shown below. I have taken into account what has been said in regards to using NameValueCollection but still cant see how this will help with such a large response. Ideally I'd like this mapped to an object structure of some kind, it dosen't necessarily have to be JSON.
Question:
I'm currently using the PayPal Api 'ExpressCheckout' method to allow users to pay for items on my test site. A HTTP response from the API provides a large response containing key information I need to extract - such as the buyers address, if the payment was succesful etc.
The Issue:
Currently I'm stuck on how to work with the response. Ideally I'd convert the data to a JSON string then use Newtonsoft to map the data to C# classes thus allowing easy access to the data. Here is an example of the Httpresponse:
TOKEN=EC%2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXR&BILLINGAGREEMENTACCEPTEDSTATUS=0&CHECKOUTSTATUS=PaymentActionNotInitiated&TIMESTAMP=2015%2d01%2d02T21%3a11%3a30Z&CORRELATIONID=ab184fdba7a30&ACK=Success&VERSION=88%2e0&BUILD=14443165&EMAIL=test%40aol%2ecom&PAYERID=3XXXXXXXXXX4N&PAYERSTATUS=verified&BUSINESS=Test%20Biz%27s%20Test%20Store&FIRSTNAME=Joe&LASTNAME=King&COUNTRYCODE=GB&SHIPTONAME=Joe%20King%27s%20Test%20Store&SHIPTOSTREET=1%20Main%20Terrace&SHIPTOCITY=Wolverhampton&SHIPTOSTATE=West%20Midlands&SHIPTOZIP=W12%204LQ&SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE=GB&SHIPTOCOUNTRYNAME=United%20Kingdom&ADDRESSSTATUS=Confirmed&CURRENCYCODE=GBP&AMT=15%2e56&ITEMAMT=15%2e56&SHIPPINGAMT=0%2e00&HANDLINGAMT=0%2e00&TAXAMT=0%2e00&INSURANCEAMT=0%2e00&SHIPDISCAMT=0%2e00&L_NAME0=ItemOne&L_QTY0=4&L_TAXAMT0=0%2e00&L_AMT0=3%2e89&L_ITEMWEIGHTVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_ITEMLENGTHVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_ITEMWIDTHVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_ITEMHEIGHTVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_CURRENCYCODE=GBP&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT=15%2e56&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMAMT=15%2e56&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPPINGAMT=0%2e00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_HANDLINGAMT=0%2e00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT=0%2e00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_INSURANCEAMT=0%2e00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPDISCAMT=0%2e00&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_INSURANCEOPTIONOFFERED=false&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTONAME=Joe%20King%27s%20Test%20Store&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTREET=1%20Main%20Terrace&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCITY=Wolverhampton&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOSTATE=West%20Midlands&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOZIP=W12%204LQ&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCOUNTRYCODE=GB&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_SHIPTOCOUNTRYNAME=United%20Kingdom&PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ADDRESSSTATUS=Confirmed&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_NAME0=ItemOne&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_QTY0=4&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_TAXAMT0=0%2e00&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_AMT0=3%2e89&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMWEIGHTVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMLENGTHVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMWIDTHVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&L_PAYMENTREQUEST_0_ITEMHEIGHTVALUE0=%20%20%200%2e00000&PAYMENTREQUESTINFO_0_ERRORCODE=0
If anyone could give me an easy way to map this data to a C# object that would be great.
Is there any specific reason why you want it in JSON format? If its not requirement and if you can live with key value pair then here is one way you can process response as key value pair.
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
Dictionary<string, string> processedResponse = null;
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}

//Process response

}

{
Dictionary<string, string> responseData = new Dictionary<string, string>();
if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(response))
{
string[] firstPass = response.Split(new char[] { '&' });
foreach(string pair in firstPass)
{
string[] secondPass = pair.Split(new char[] { '=' });
if(secondPass!=null && secondPass.Length>0)
{
responseData.Add(secondPass[0].Trim(), secondPass[1].Trim());
}
}
}
return responseData;
}
private string GetRecordValue(string record)
{
string recordValue = null;
if(processedResponse!=null)
{
if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(record) && processedResponse.ContainsKey(record))
{
recordValue= processedResponse[record];
}
}
return recordValue;
}
}
Still unsure what's the problem with dealing with it as a NameValueCollection.
E.g.
//NameValueCollection
//or use HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(some_string_of_names_values)
var foo = Request.QueryString;
var bar = foo["FIRSTNAME"]; //based on above this is "Joe"
Update:
It is response string which is being processed here and not request hence you wont be able to retrieve details using Request.QueryString
As stated in comments:
string rawResponse = "TOKEN=EC%2XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXR&BILLINGAGREEMENTACCEPTEDSTATUS=0&CHECKOUTSTATUS=PaymentActionNotInitiated&TIMESTAMP=2015%2d01%2d02T21%3a11%3a30Z&CORRELATIONID=ab184fdba7a30&ACK=Success&VERSION=88...."
var foo = HttpUtility.ParseQueryString(rawResponse); //NameValueCollection
var bar = foo["FIRSTNAME"]; //Joe
