I have a use case where I want to build a portal for Agent Login and Registry and allow conversation to be transferred from Bot to an agent.
Looking at this article for possibilities -
https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/jamiedalton/2017/08/10/microsoft-bot-framework-handing-off-to-a-human-for-agentssupervisors-with-c-and-the-botbuilder-sdk/
The handoff should happen from customer using webchat and bot logic is coded in C#. The steps that I could think of -
User asks for handoff
The Bot logic connects the conversation to signalr hub on server side
The next conversation takes place directly using this hub.
Need to know if someone implemented such use case. What should be approach for creating this?
Look over the intermediator bot sample. It is designed to work with v4 of the BotFramework demonstrating bot-to-human hand-off in C#. You will, of course, need to adapt it to work with SignalR. But, I don't see any reason it couldn't be configured to do so.

I need to create a web UI for a client company to allow them to monitor which subscribers (Microservices) are up and if they are part of a worker queue, how many of them are running.
Although this is easy to implement by keeping sending a signal to another instance of NATS (to minimize overheads) for monitoring, I would like to ask if there is any built-in feature that can provide this functionality.
This link suggests that there is a monitoring endpoint built-in but I am not sure if I can get what I need out of it. So do I have to start inventing the wheel, or is there something that can be used out of the box?
So I have been working with Ethereum's metamask, and implemented web app where the user can come while being logged into metamask, and call a function on my smart contract via metamask. Tutorials for this exist and it's not very hard.
I want to implement calling a smart contract, when a user comes into a store ([physically). I want to do it the following way:
Some customer comes in and uses some application $A on his phone, which may be a wallet app or some other application that has access to his ethereum wallet.
On my POS application, I will render a QR code.
When he scans the QR code with his mobile phone, it is equivalent to either:
sending ethereum funds to our company account, while I am able to verify that this has happened via an event, or
he calls a function on a smart contract. This seems more appealing because I know that you can send events via smart contract calls.
So my question is:
Do any applications that have the functionality of application $A exist, are they widely used?
What can I use to implement exposing a QR code which is effectively some form of visual API for my program?
What you need is a library in your application to create a QR code. This QR code will need to be created for the function/method you need to call on the smart contract. You can use https://github.com/jibrelnetwork/ethereum-qr-code/blob/master/README.md
The QR code will be scanned by the user using the wallet on their mobile phone app wallet. This transaction will trigger the smart contract function and allow your application to proceed forward.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Answer to Q1:
Yes, there are applications like this(i made one myself). Most existing mobile wallets use this approach, for eg. Tenx.
Answer to Q2:
Sorry but this question is not totally clear to me. Are you asking for some sort of library for creating a QR code?
I'm working with Microsoft's Bot Development Framework. They've released a calling API to handle taking calls, but what I'd really like to do is call a user on Skype (i.e. initiate the call). I don't believe they can do this currently, so if not are there plans to add this?
Skype doesn't offer this functionality at this time. I don't have any information about plans to implement bot calling the user with voice, but I will pass on the request to the Skype bot team.
I'm write a turn-by-turn mobile game. Each game have 2 minutes. So every two minutes server will calculate rank and generate next game to clients. I use Asp.net to write server.
I choose SignalR to communicate between client and server. I have 2 choices for implementing games:
1) Use SignalR only to communicate with clients
2) Use SignalR to notify client, and use REST API to get or update information of game.
Could you please advice me what choice is better and please explain detail.
Thanks in advance.
While I am not a SignalR expert, I can definitely tell you this:
Since you have chosen SignalR, use it for all the tasks it can perform.
Sending updated information about the game to the client definitely seems like a task for SignalR. Having a separate REST api is unnecessary.
Sending a message via SignalR that the state has updated, and client should make a REST call to get the updated information, is an unnecessary extra request. I would avoid it and use SignalR to send the updated information.
I want to develop a web application that will have textbox and button. When the user enters a number and clicks on the submit button, I want to make a Skype call from the host. How can I do this?
Er... you're in for a world of pain. First, sure, your server could possibly make a skype call, but how would you handle the back-and-forth to your user's browser? Tons of custom programming with a rich client framework, that's how.
Better to let the user just use skype themselves. Look into the callto:// URI header for details.
Can't you setup your links with callto:// prefixes? If the user has the option enabled in Skype then the application will be associated with those links.
How to Use the Skype Callto:// Links
Perhaps you could build a link on the fly and initiate a call this way?
You can generate a link with HTML with a callto: address to launch the Skype client and make the call (if the client software is configured to do so), which is hopefully what you're looking for. See: http://chrisabraham.com/2005/05/05/how-to-hyperlink-to-a-skype-call-with-your-skype-contact-id-or-telephone-number/
If you want to actually get into the API, you'll need some kind of desktop C# application and interface with the Skype API, see following for details:
http://share.skype.com/sites/devzone/2006/12/c_example_project_for_skype4co.html
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/skypecontrolapicsharp.aspx
So lets say you did launch a process on the server and automate the skype client on the web server. It then dials your customer via a phone located in the data center and the customer hears .... what? IIS isn't very talkative.
I know this is an old thread but we are getting a few visitors to our site from it. If you want to embed clickable links into your website that work with Skype please use the Skype URIs, see: https://dev.skype.com/skype-uri.
