(.NET) GetNewThreadAsync missing from package.

[carlosmachel]

I'm following the dotnet/samples and noticed that they use GetNewThreadAsync, but I can’t find this method in any of the NuGet packages I’ve installed.

I only see GetNewThread available in my environment.

Is GetNewThreadAsync coming from a specific package, preview version, or extension library that isn’t documented?

Any guidance would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi!

I noticed that in version 1.0.0-preview.260121.1 the method GetNewThreadAsync() was introduced.

However, in the
Agent_OpenAI_Step05_Conversation sample:
https://github.com/microsoft/agent-framework/blob/main/dotnet/samples/GettingStarted/AgentWithOpenAI/Agent_OpenAI_Step05_Conversation/Program.cs
there is a call to a method that appears to accept a conversationId (or similar) parameter to resume a conversation/thread.

I couldn’t find any overload of GetNewThreadAsync (or another public API) in 1.0.0-preview.260121.1 that accepts a conversationId or thread ID.

Is there a recommended way to resume an existing conversation with the current preview package?

Thanks!
