Hello All,

      This is the first time I'm trying to convert powershell script to c# code. Can someone help me out please

foreach ( $csv in $csv)
{

Set-CsOnlineDialInConferencingUser -Identity $csv.UserPrincipalName -ServiceNumber $csv.ServiceNumber

 }

The `foreach` is just a foreach statement in C#. Of course we have no way of knowing what `$csv` is. The core call is setting AD properties it appears so you can use the directory services API in .NET to do that. It just sets an AD property I wager but I don't know the implementation.

var csvItems = //Some code that gets IEnumerable<T>
foreach (var csv in csvItems)
{
   //Get DirectoryEntry for the given user
   //Set their property   //Commit changes using CommitChanges
}

For the directory services stuff I'd start with DirectoryEntry to get the user but there may be a better way, perhaps using PrincipalContext.

Note that your PS code does not look valid as you're using $csv as both the loop variant and the item to be iterated.

Hi Karthick E, 
First, CoolDadTx has provided a detailed explanation to convert powershell script to c# code.
And I have another suggestion and hope it could be helpful.
You can execute PowerShell scripts from C# directly instead of  converting powershell to c#.

using (PowerShell PowerShellInstance = PowerShell.Create())
{
    ....
 }

More details you can refer to this document.
