Add a reference to Microsoft Agent server using tools - references - Microsoft Agent server 2.0
Here is the code

Keep a textbox on form and a button in the button click keep the following code

IAgentCtlCharacterEx Genie;
if(textBox1.Text!="")

string strPath=ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings.Get("path").ToString();
//strPath is /msagent\chars
Agent1.Characters.Load("Merlin",strPath);
