[Feature Request] Non ASP .NET sample? about botbuilder-samples HOT 5 CLOSED

There is some unit test code that doesn't require asp.net. Are you primarily hoping to see the essential aspects of the bot logic?

Exactly. Writing a bot, hosting it in a simple console, receiving a message, responding to a message etc.. Can you use the .NET SDK in that way? How would you handle auth? etc.

@isaacabraham we're doing some work to separate out dependencies on particular versions of asp.net, but in the end, you still need to expose a web endpoint for your bot service.

FormTest (C#) and the ConsoleConnector (node) show how you might interact with your bot through the console. But often people who want a completely custom client use something like DirectLine.

There are several web frameworks on .net, of which ASP .NET. Where things could be improved would be using a bare bones example. Even using OwinHost would be a start, but ideally moving away from the magic attributes etc. would be best so people can write their own bot wrappers.
