How to Convert Bot Composer .DIALOG to AdaptiveDialog .CS using .NET SDK

Question

I created a project using Bot Composer Tool and implemented many dialogs . In solution folder I can see all dialog files are JSON format with file format .dialog.

Requirement:

I had to create a same project using AdaptiveDialogs (Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs) approach using .NET SDK .

I found below github link for same on how to develop a adaptivedialogs using .NET SDK.

https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/main/samples/csharp_dotnetcore/adaptive-dialog

I also found Bot Composer Samples

https://github.com/microsoft/BotBuilder-Samples/tree/main/composer-samples

But is there any tool that I convert Bot Composer ".dialog" file JSON to adaptive dialog .CS file that can compatible to AdaptiveDialog SDK Code.

Answer 1

No there's no way to convert a .dialog to the equivalent .cs file, although it'd be possible to implement one.

However, you can run a bot created with Composer in a custom runtime, where you can make certain customizations.

The custom runtime actually uses those .dialog files, so you don't need to convert to code to use Adaptive Dialogs.
