Create Your First Dialog In Microsoft Bot Framework

What Is Dialog?

How To Create Your Own Dialog?

1. Create a new class "WelcomeDialog".
2. Implement the "IDialog" interface.
3. Implement the "Async" method.

using Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs;
using System;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace Bot_Application1.Dialogs { 
	[Serializable]
	public class WelcomeDialog: IDialog < object > {
		public Task StartAsync(IDialogContext context) {
			context.Wait(PerformActionAsync);
			return Task.CompletedTask;
		}

		private async Task PerformActionAsync(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable < object > result) {
			var activity = await result as Microsoft.Bot.Connector.Activity;

			if (activity.Text == "hi") {
				await context.PostAsync("Hi How are you");
			}
			else await context.PostAsync("Please say it again");

		}
	}
}



In the above code, we have modified the response when the user sends a message "hi".


4. Call the "WelcomeDialog" class inside the "MessageController" class.
