AsChatClient(deploymentName) Deprecated - How to Update?

[essenbee2]

Hi,

I use the following line of code to get a chat client based on my Azure OpenAI deployed models extensively, but now .AsChatClient(deployment) is showing up as deprecated with no guidance on how to update:

IChatClient chatClient =
    new AzureOpenAIClient(new Uri(endpoint), new DefaultAzureCredential())
        .AsChatClient(deployment);

Could I please get some help on how to update my code to utilise a non-deprecated version or alternative code?

Many thanks,

Stu

Replace:
AsChatClient(deployment)
with
GetChatClient(deployment).AsIChatClient()
or with
GetResponseClient(deployment). AsIChatClient()
