Amazon Comprehend examples using Amazon SDK for .NET

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the Amazon SDK for .NET with Amazon Comprehend.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios and cross-service examples.

Scenarios are code examples that show you how to accomplish a specific task by calling multiple functions within the same service.

Each example includes a link to GitHub, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.
