public ProactiveBot(ConcurrentDictionary<string, ConversationReference> conversationReferences, IConfiguration configuration)
{
_conversationReferences = conversationReferences;
_configuration = configuration;
}
private void AddConversationReference(Activity activity)
{
var conversationReference = activity.GetConversationReference();
_conversationReferences.AddOrUpdate(conversationReference.User.AadObjectId, conversationReference, (key, newValue) => conversationReference);
}

For the second query, We are checking with the engineering team and get back to you.
Hi. So your examples are all using C#, we don't know it and as I mentioned we use typescript/javascript. We don't know how to apply them.
My main question is how the conversation history is stored. I don't understand the difference between your first reply which uses DocumentDbBotDataStore and your second example which uses a dictionary. What's the connection between these 2 examples? Again, we're not C# developers.
May be you can describe:
1) if we don't specify any memory storage or documentdb storage, how come conversations never disappear?
2) if we had to write a custom one, what would we need to do in typescript? can you explain step by step?
