Adaptive Card: Dynamically show Card on dropdown click in Adaptive Card : Bot Builder

I have to create a adaptive card which have city of name and each city have different holiday list.
I have to show city name in dropdown list and on selection of each city i have to show child card which contains Holiday list.
I have develop below code:
private async Task<DialogTurnResult> ShowCard(WaterfallStepContext stepContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
List<string> city = new List<string>() { "Delhi", "Bangalore", "Mumbai" };
List<string> date = new List<string>() { "1-Jan", "26-Jan", "15-Aug" };
List<string> des = new List<string>() { "New Year", "Republic Day", "Independence Day" };
List<string> date1 = new List<string>() { "1-Jan", "26-Jan", "15-Aug", "25-Dec" };
List<string> des1 = new List<string>() { "New Year", "Republic Day", "Independence Day", "Christmas Day" };
List<string> date2 = new List<string>() { "1-Jan", "25-Dec" };
List<string> des2 = new List<string>() { "New Year", "Christmas Day" };
List<AdaptiveCard> cards = new List<AdaptiveCard>();
cards.Add(HolidayListAdaptiveCard(date, des));
cards.Add(HolidayListAdaptiveCard(date1, des1));
cards.Add(HolidayListAdaptiveCard(date2, des2));
var mainCard = new AdaptiveCard(new AdaptiveSchemaVersion(1, 0));
var column3 = new AdaptiveColumn();
column3.Items.Add(new AdaptiveTextBlock() { Text = "Holiday City", Weight = AdaptiveTextWeight.Bolder });
var columnSet1 = new AdaptiveColumnSet();
columnSet1.Columns.Add(column3);
var container1 = new AdaptiveContainer();
container1.Style = AdaptiveContainerStyle.Emphasis;
container1.Items.Add(columnSet1);
mainCard.Body.Add(container1);
List<AdaptiveShowCardAction> adaptiveShowCardActions = new List<AdaptiveShowCardAction>();
for (int i = 0; i < city.Count; i++)
{
mainCard.Actions.Add(new AdaptiveShowCardAction() { Title = city[i], Card = cards[i] });
}
var attachment = new Attachment
{
ContentType = AdaptiveCard.ContentType,
Content = mainCard
};
var reply = MessageFactory.Attachment(attachment);
await stepContext.Context.SendActivityAsync(reply);
return new DialogTurnResult(DialogTurnStatus.Waiting);
}
private AdaptiveCard HolidayListAdaptiveCard(List<string> date, List<string> description)
{
var card = new AdaptiveCard(new AdaptiveSchemaVersion(1, 0));
List<AdaptiveColumn> columns = new List<AdaptiveColumn>();
var column = new AdaptiveColumn();
var column1 = new AdaptiveColumn();
var column2 = new AdaptiveColumn();
var textBlock = new AdaptiveTextBlock();
textBlock.Text = "Sr. No";
textBlock.Weight = AdaptiveTextWeight.Bolder;
textBlock.Size = AdaptiveTextSize.Large;
textBlock.Color = AdaptiveTextColor.Accent;
column.Items.Add(textBlock);
var textBlock1 = new AdaptiveTextBlock();
textBlock1.Text = "Date";
textBlock1.Weight = AdaptiveTextWeight.Bolder;
textBlock1.Size = AdaptiveTextSize.Large;
textBlock1.Color = AdaptiveTextColor.Good;
column1.Items.Add(textBlock1);
var textBlock2 = new AdaptiveTextBlock();
textBlock2.Text = "Description";
textBlock2.Weight = AdaptiveTextWeight.Bolder;
textBlock2.Size = AdaptiveTextSize.Large;
textBlock2.Color = AdaptiveTextColor.Dark;
column2.Items.Add(textBlock2);
for (int i = 0; i < date.Count; i++)
{
column.Items.Add(new AdaptiveTextBlock() { Text = (i + 1).ToString() });
column1.Items.Add(new AdaptiveTextBlock() { Text = date[i] });
column2.Items.Add(new AdaptiveTextBlock() { Text = description[i] });
}
var columnSet = new AdaptiveColumnSet();
columnSet.Columns.Add(column);
columnSet.Columns.Add(column1);
columnSet.Columns.Add(column2);
var container = new AdaptiveContainer();
container.Style = AdaptiveContainerStyle.Emphasis;
container.Items.Add(columnSet);
card.Body.Add(container);
return card;
}
O/P:
Issue: City name coming as separate button but i need city name in dropdown list.

You can create a dropdown menu in an Adaptive Card by using an Input.ChoiceSet element and setting style to "compact". Note that the compact style is the default in Teams.
You can only extend Adaptive Card functionality if you're using Web Chat so you won't be able to respond to events from this dropdown and you won't be able to modify the card as the user is filling it out. You'll need to have the user select a city and then click the submit button. While Teams does allow message updates and so you could update the card in response to the submit action, it's probably better and easier just to send a whole new card with the holiday list.

Can't use facebook's quick replies

I want to use facebook's quick replies -
at first I tried to use IMessageActivity's SuggestedActions property
IMessageActivity result = Activity.CreateMessageActivity();
result.Type = ActivityTypes.Message;
result.TextFormat = TextFormatTypes.Plain;
result.SuggestedActions = suggestedActions.Select(x => new CardAction()
{
Title = x,
Type = ActionTypes.ImBack,
Value = x
}).ToList()
but, as it didn't work for facebook, I found another solution based on ChanelData
result.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new {
quick_replies = suggestedActions.Actions.Select(x => new
{
content_type = "text",
title = x.Title,
payload = x.Value is null ? x.Title : x.Value
}).ToArray()
});
sadly it still doesn't work. Is there anything else to do?

I beleive you can use HeroCards and attach them to an activity and send that via SendActivityAsync.
Activity activity = _context.Context.Activity.CreateReply();
var buttonList = new List<CardAction>();
foreach (var prompt in Prompts)
{
buttonList.Add(
new CardAction { Value = prompt.DisplayText, Type = "imBack", Title = prompt.DisplayText, });
}
var heroCard = new HeroCard { Text = "message text", Subtitle = string.Empty, Buttons = buttonList };
activity.Attachments.Add(heroCard.ToAttachment());
await stepContext.Context.SendActivityAsync(activity).ConfigureAwait(false);

Try using a TextPrompt with the PromptOptions like this:
await stepContext.PromptAsync(nameof(TextPrompt), new PromptOptions
{
Prompt = new Activity
{
Type = ActivityTypes.Message,
Text = "¡Bien! Ahora te envié un código de acceso a tu teléfono. Por favor ingrésalo aquí cuando lo recibas.",
SuggestedActions = new SuggestedActions()
{
Actions = new List<CardAction>()
{
new CardAction() { Title = "Reenviar token", Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = "Reenviar token" }
},
},
}
});
Result:
Edit:
If you dont want to use prompts, try this:
Activity activity = stepContext.Context.Activity.CreateReply();
activity.Type = ActivityTypes.Message;
activity.Text = "This is an example of SuggestedAction";
activity.SuggestedActions = new SuggestedActions()
{
Actions = new List<CardAction>()
{
new CardAction() { Title = "Action", Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = "Action" }
}
};
await stepContext.Context.SendActivityAsync(activity);
return await stepContext.EndDialogAsync();
Result:

Bot waterfall conversation with HeroCard button

Is it possible to include HeroCard attachment in WaterfallStepContext, i am able to call ITurnContext but not from WaterfallStepContext
Trying using C# code however .Activity is part of waterfallstep contenxt
var getFeedback = turnContext.Activity.CreateReply();
var feedbackChoices = new HeroCard
{
Text = "Our conversation was helpful?",
Buttons = new List<CardAction>
{
new CardAction() { Title = Constants.userResponseThumbsUp, Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = Constants.userResponseYes},
new CardAction() { Title = Constants.userResponseThumbsDown, Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = Constants.userResponseNo},
},
};
// Add the card to our reply to user.
getFeedback.Attachments = new List<Attachment>() { feedbackChoices.ToAttachment() };
await turnContext.SendActivityAsync(getFeedback, cancellationToken);

Yes, it is possible to include a HeroCard attachment in WaterfallStepContext. Here is the implementation below:
private static async Task<DialogTurnResult> ShowCardStepAsync(WaterfallStepContext stepContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
{
var getFeedback = stepContext.Context.Activity.CreateReply();
var feedbackChoices = new HeroCard
{
Text = "Our conversation was helpful?",
Buttons = new List<CardAction>
{
new CardAction() { Title = Constants.userResponseThumbsUp, Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = Constants.userResponseYes},
new CardAction() { Title = Constants.userResponseThumbsDown, Type = ActionTypes.ImBack, Value = Constants.userResponseNo},
},
};
// Add the card to our reply to user.
getFeedback.Attachments = new List<Attachment>() { feedbackChoices.ToAttachment() };
await stepContext.Context.SendActivityAsync(getFeedback, cancellationToken);
}
Hope this helps.

Does Telegram have a way to show carousels with Bot Framework?

I'm developing a bot with Microsoft Bot Framework, on Facebook Messenger the carousel shows as it should, but in Telegram it shows as 2 different cards on two different messages.
Doesn't Telegram support carousels or is it my fault?
Code:
public async Task Carousel(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<IMessageActivity> activity)
{
var act = await activity;
//carousel
var replyToConversation = context.MakeMessage();
replyToConversation.Text = "2+ Cards are a Carousel";
replyToConversation.Recipient = message.From;
replyToConversation.Type = "message";
replyToConversation.Attachments = new List<Attachment>();
//1
List<CardImage> cardImages = new List<CardImage>();
cardImages.Add(new CardImage(url: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c0/Asimo_look_new_design.jpg/330px-Asimo_look_new_design.jpg"));
List<CardAction> cardButtons = new List<CardAction>();
CardAction plButton = new CardAction()
{
Value = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot",
Type = "openUrl",
Title = "WikiPedia Page"
};
cardButtons.Add(plButton);
HeroCard plCard = new HeroCard()
{
Title = "I'm a hero card",
Subtitle = "Robot Wikipedia Page",
Images = cardImages,
Buttons = cardButtons
};
Attachment plAttachment = plCard.ToAttachment();
replyToConversation.Attachments.Add(plAttachment);
//2
List<CardImage> cardImages2 = new List<CardImage>();
cardImages2.Add(new CardImage(url: "https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9b/FANUC_6-axis_welding_robots.jpg/330px-FANUC_6-axis_welding_robots.jpg"));
List<CardAction> cardButtons2 = new List<CardAction>();
CardAction plButton2 = new CardAction()
{
Value = "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robot",
Type = "openUrl",
Title = "WikiPedia Page"
};
cardButtons2.Add(plButton);
HeroCard plCard2 = new HeroCard()
{
Title = "I'm a hero card",
Subtitle = "Robot Wikipedia Page",
Images = cardImages2,
Buttons = cardButtons2
};
Attachment plAttachment2 = plCard2.ToAttachment();
replyToConversation.AttachmentLayout = AttachmentLayoutTypes.Carousel;
replyToConversation.Attachments.Add(plAttachment2);
await context.PostAsync(replyToConversation);
}

It's not your fault. Per the Channel Inspector, the carousel in Telegram has a down-rendered appearance.

Add members to object in c#

I have an object created by - new {name1 = "string1"}
I have to add additional members to it eg {name2 = "string2"} so that the final result is
{
name1 = "string1",
name2 = "string2"
}

You can either instantiate it all at once:
var someObj = new {name1 = "name 1", name2 = "name 2"};
Or you can do it in steps.
var someObj1 = new {name1 = "name 1"};
var someObj2 = new {name1 = someObj1.name1, name2 = "name 2"};
But no, you can't add properties/field to anonymous types at run-time or after it's been instantiated.

You have to create a new object, of a new anonymous type:
var obj1 = new {name1 = "string1"};
var obj2 = new {name1 = obj1.name1, name2 = "string2" };
