I have my root bot developed in bot framework SDK V4 in visual studio. My skill bot was developed in bot composer. How can I call skill bot inside root bot from visual studio?
Can we open/convert .dialog files generated by bot composer in visual studio as .cs files?

    Hi Swati,

    Since Bot Framework SDK version 4.7, you can extend your bot using another bot called a skill bot. A skill is a bot that can perform a set of tasks for another bot. A skill consumer is a bot that can invoke one or more skills. In Bot Framework Composer, you can export a bot built with Composer as a skill, you can also use the Connect to a skill action to enable a bot to connect to a skill. This article explains how to do both tasks.

    More information please refer: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/composer/how-to-connect-to-a-skill

    Important:

    Connecting to a skill in Composer is a technical process that involves many steps such as setting up Composer and configuring Azure resources. A high level of technical proficiency will be necessary to execute this process.

    Regards,
