How to reinitialize UserState with new blobstorage outside Startup.cs class?

Question

I have a front end webchat channel, I am sending an event activity which has a value(storage container name) to be sent on OnEventActivityAsync handler. How can I reconfigure the UserState initialized in startup.cs with a new storage name that I received from the event?

I am familiar with a concept of initializing UserState and AzureBlobStorage in Startup.cs but here I need to change the container name when OnEventActivityAsync is hit.

Answer 1

There is no official procedure to rename the container name out of the Startup.cs. But we have a small procedure to check regarding OnEventActivityAsync activity. Check out the links mentioned below to checkout the nearest procedure.
