Hi Gurus,

  I have a Async Task method - IntroStepAsync , which i need to call this from c# timercontrol every 5 seconds. Please help me how to call the task method from timer control with parameters.

Below is the c# code which needs to be called from timer control.

private async Task<DialogTurnResult> IntroStepAsync(WaterfallStepContext stepContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
 {

            if (!_luisRecognizer.IsConfigured)
            {
                return await stepContext.NextAsync(null, cancellationToken);
            }

            var messageText = "Welcome";
            var promptMessage = MessageFactory.Text(messageText, messageText, InputHints.ExpectingInput);
            return await stepContext.PromptAsync(nameof(TextPrompt), new PromptOptions { Prompt = promptMessage }, cancellationToken);
  }

Thanks

Hi prasanth100,

I'm not sure if you are looking for something like this:

protected void Timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            res.Text += DateTime.UtcNow;
            Task.Run(async () =>
            {
                DialogTurnResult result = await IntroStepAsync(stepContext, cancellationToken);
            });
        }

        private async Task<DialogTurnResult> IntroStepAsync(WaterfallStepContext stepContext, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
        {

            if (!_luisrecognizer.isconfigured)
            {
                return await stepContext.NextAsync(null, cancellationToken);
            }

            var messageText = "Welcome";
            var promptMessage = MessageFactory.Text(messageText, messageText, InputHints.ExpectingInput);
            return await stepContext.PromptAsync(nameof(TextPrompt), new PromptOptions { Prompt = promptMessage }, cancellationToken);
        }

If I misunderstood anything, could you provide more details?

Best regards,
