Methods
| StartAsync(IDialogContext) |
The start of the code that represents the conversational dialog. (Inherited from IDialog<TResult>) |
Extension Methods
| Catch<T>(IDialog<T>, Func<IDialog<T>,Exception,IDialog<T>>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, catch and handle any exceptions. |
| Catch<T,E>(IDialog<T>, Func<IDialog<T>,E,IDialog<T>>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, catch and handle any exceptions of type |
| ContinueWith<T,R>(IDialog<T>, Chain.Continuation<T,R>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, execute the continuation to produce the next IDialog<TResult>. |
| DefaultIfException<T>(IDialog<T>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, stop the propagation of Exception. |
| DefaultIfException<T,E>(IDialog<T>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, stop the propagation of an exception of |
| Do<T>(IDialog<T>, Func<IBotContext,IAwaitable<T>,Task>) |
Execute a side-effect after a IDialog<TResult> completes. |
| Loop<T>(IDialog<T>) |
Loop the IDialog<TResult> forever. |
| PostEvent<T,E>(IDialog<T>, E) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, post the item to the event queue. |
| PostToUser<T>(IDialog<T>) |
Post to the user the result of a IDialog<TResult>. |
| Select<T,R>(IDialog<T>, Func<T,R>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, project the result into a new IDialog<TResult>. |
| SelectMany<T,C,R>(IDialog<T>, Func<T,IDialog<C>>, Func<T,C,R>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, execute the next IDialog<TResult>, and use the projection to combine the results. |
| Switch<T,R>(IDialog<T>, ICase<T,R>[]) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, go through each ICase<T,R> and run the ContextualSelector<T,R>" of the first ICase<T,R> that the returned value by the antecedent dialog satisfies. |
| Then<T,R>(IDialog<T>, Func<IBotContext,IAwaitable<T>,Task<R>>) |
Execute an action after the IDialog<TResult> completes. |
| Void<T>(IDialog<T>, IDialogStack) |
Call the voided IDialog<TResult>, ignore the result, then restart the original dialog wait. |
| Void<T,R>(IDialog<T>) |
Call the voided IDialog<TResult>, ignore the result, then restart the original dialog wait. |
| WaitToBot<T>(IDialog<T>) |
Post to the chain the message to the bot after the antecedent completes. |
| Where<T>(IDialog<T>, Func<T,Boolean>) |
When the antecedent IDialog<TResult> has completed, evaluate the predicate and decide whether to continue. |
| While<T>(IDialog<T>, Func<T,IDialog<Boolean>>, Func<T,IDialog<T>>) |
Create a IDialog<TResult> that represents a while loop. |
| WithScorable<T,Item,Score>(IDialog<T>, IScorable<Item,Score>) |
Decorate a dialog with a scorable, so that a scorable can participate on the dialog stack. |
