To get started open the IMEcho project in Visual Studio and open the App.config file.
You will need to modify the sections highlighted above there is no need to change the ocsServerFqdn or the Domain these settings are already configured for you in the sample.
Once you have changed the App.config settings save them and press F5 to run the project.
Once you press F5 you will see the following screen. All three steps should show complete once this is completed logon to Office Communicator or Communicator Web Access.
In communicator type the name of your BOT user you received in your welcome email. You should see the contact appear. Start a conversation with this contact to test the BOT.
You should see your IM message returned from the BOT. This is an extremely basic sample just to make sure you are able to work with OCS in the cloud. You should now able start developing your own applications on GotUC.net.
