In this challenge, you will create a command-line tool that analyzes text messages, measures the sentiment of each message, and then outputs the results to either the console or a file. First, you will create a console project in Visual Studio, and then you will add the AAI TextAnalytics library to the solution. Next, you will create an associated unit test project to check your work, and then you will configure an Azure Text Analytics service, integrating the service credentials into the project. Finally, you will add simple command-line parsing to handle parameters for input and output streams, and then you will test the solution by using the unit test project. Note: Once you begin the challenge lab, you will not be able to pause, save, or exit and then return to your challenge lab. Please ensure that you have set aside enough time to complete the challenge lab before you start.
