Template Attribute In Bot Framework

In this article, we discuss the "Template" attribute in the Microsoft Bot framework.

Purpose

Template attribute is used to override the default templates.

Example

Consider an example in which the bot wants the user to enter the age. Instead of the valid age, the user enters the invalid value. The bot displays the default message.

To override the message, we can use the "Template" attribute.

[Template(TemplateUsage.NotUnderstood, "Age '{0}' is not a valid number format")]
public int Age;

Here is the output
