LUIS / Bot Framework multiple dialog, move intent handling to another dialog

Question

my goal is to implement both dialogs and LUIS into a Microsoft Bot Framework application using their C# SDK. I tried to follow this thread https://github.com/M

I had this same question, but I am using a newer version of Bot Framework, more specifically, V4.

Here is what I found:

• BeginDialogAsync's options parameter takes an array of objects that will then be accessible in your dialog.

// Get skill LUIS model from configuration.
localizedServices.LuisServices.TryGetValue("MySkill", out var luisService);

if (luisService != null)
{
    // Get the Luis result. 
    var result = innerDc.Context.TurnState.Get(StateProperties.SkillLuisResult);
    var intent = result?.TopIntent().intent;

    // Behavior switched on intent. 
    switch (intent)
    {
        case MySkillLuis.Intent.MyIntent:
            {
                // result is passed on to my dialog through the Options parameter. 
                await innerDc.BeginDialogAsync(_myDialog.Id, result);
                break;
            }

        case MySkillLuis.Intent.None:
        default:
            {
                // intent was identified but not yet implemented
                await innerDc.Context.SendActivityAsync(_templateEngine.GenerateActivityForLocale("UnsupportedMessage"));
                break;
            }
    }
}

From our second dialog, we can access the object through the context and perform any casting, etc. as necessary. In my case, it was a waterfall dialog, so I used stepContext.options.
