Hi,

in the bot connector you can connect to your online chatbot and then create a channel for HTML. This will give you, after filling on some details of your bot, an iframe script which you can simply put in your ASP.NET application.

Update: check out https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/bot-framework/bot-service-channel-connect-webchat.

Hi,

this article is for azure hosted

If your endpoint is available to the bot connector hosted on some other machine than on Azure you should be able to accomplish the same thing. Bot connector basically is an easy to use intermediary and translation tool per channel.

If you don't want that either you could try to download the React.js chatwindow from GitHub and inject that in your page and set up the direct line wiring yourself (that's basically what the bot connector does for you in a transparent way). Take a look at https://github.com/Microsoft/BotFramework-WebChat.
