AWS Textract reading specific information using dotnet sdk C#

Question

I am trying to use amazon textract to get specific information from resume pdf file wheich is available in a local folder.

I am able to get the text using code below

sample code

 using (var textractClient = new AmazonTextractClient(RegionEndpoint.APSouth1))
        {
            FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/pdfresume.pdf"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

            await fileStream.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
            await fileStream.FlushAsync();
           

            var analyzeDocumentRequest = new AnalyzeDocumentRequest()
            {
                Document = new Document { Bytes = memoryStream },
                FeatureTypes = new List<string> { "FORMS" } 
                //here i wish to pass many queries like "what is the email id"
            };

            var analyzeDocumentResponse = await textractClient.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(analyzeDocumentRequest);
            foreach(var blocks in analyzeDocumentResponse.Blocks)
            {
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(blocks.Text);
            }
 
        }

But my purpose is to get specific data using queries

as in php

 'QueriesConfig' => [
        'Queries' => [  
            [
               
                'Text' => 'What is name' 
            ],
            [
 
                'Text' => 'What is email' 
            ],

You should add "QUERIES" to the FeatureTypes, and then inject the query.

Something like:

 using (var textractClient = new AmazonTextractClient(RegionEndpoint.APSouth1))
        {
            FileStream fileStream = new FileStream(HostingEnvironment.MapPath("~/pdfresume.pdf"), FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
            MemoryStream memoryStream = new MemoryStream();

            await fileStream.CopyToAsync(memoryStream);
            await fileStream.FlushAsync();
           
            Query query = new Query {
              Alias = "MyAlias",
              Text = "What is my name"
            }; 
            List<Query> queries = new List<Query>{ query };

            var analyzeDocumentRequest = new AnalyzeDocumentRequest()
            {
                Document = new Document { Bytes = memoryStream },
                FeatureTypes = new List<string> { "QUERIES" },
                QueriesConfig = new QueriesConfig{
                  Queries = queries
                };
            };

            var analyzeDocumentResponse = await textractClient.AnalyzeDocumentAsync(analyzeDocumentRequest);
            foreach(var blocks in analyzeDocumentResponse.Blocks)
            {
                if(blocks.BlockType.Value== "QUERY_RESULT")
                HttpContext.Current.Response.Write(blocks.Text);
            }
 
        }
