Not able to call SIML pa

[naruka17]

Hello Friends

I am using below code to call SIML package from .NET application. I got this code from "https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/86 ... ing-SIML-S" website. It is written in old version. Now I am using latest version of SIML.

Issue : I am getting error on "public SynBot Chatbot;". It says that SynBot not valid. I am missing assembly or references.

Could you please help me to call SIML package from .NET web application?

using System.IO;
using System.Windows;
using Syn.Bot;

namespace SIML_Chatbot_Demo
{
public partial class MainWindow
{
public SynBot Chatbot;
public MainWindow()
{
InitializeComponent();
Chatbot = new SynBot();
Chatbot.PackageManager.LoadFromString(File.ReadAllText("Knowledge.simlpk"));
}

private void SendButton_OnClick(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
var result = Chatbot.Chat(InputBox.Text);
OutputBox.Text = string.Format("User: {0}\nBot: {1}\n{2}", InputBox.Text, result.BotMessage, OutputBox.Text);
InputBox.Text = string.Empty;
}
}
}

Thanks

That code is pretty old. Syn Bot Framework now offers SIML and OSCOVA architectures for Bot development.

Instead of SynBot use SimlBot. More information can be found here

I recommend that you do not use IF conditions in your pattern. As SIML Classic in the latest SIML 2.0 specification doesn't encourage its usage. Instead if you are just planning to greet the user initially then you don't need to code that in SIML instead just greet them normally with JavaScript within your application or website. Only when user submits a message then a only go ahead and forward that to SIML Bot for response generation.

I tried to test your code after the error line you mentioned and it works fine for me.
