body: <p>I am developing a chatbot using MicrofsoftBotFramework on c#.net and LUIS cognitive services.</p>
  
  <p>I want when user type it should reply as typing or bot is typing..</p>
  
  <pre><code> public async Task&lt;HttpResponseMessage&gt; Post([FromBody]Activity activity)
              {
                  Trace.TraceInformation($"Type={activity.Type} Text={activity.Text}");
  
                  if (activity.Type == ActivityTypes.Message)
                  {
                      //await Microsoft.Bot.Builder.Dialogs.Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () =&gt; new ContactOneDialog());
  
                      //Implementation of typing indication
                      ConnectorClient connector = new ConnectorClient(new System.Uri(activity.ServiceUrl));
                      Activity isTypingReply = activity.CreateReply("Shuttlebot is typing...");
                      isTypingReply.Type = ActivityTypes.Typing;
                      await connector.Conversations.ReplyToActivityAsync(isTypingReply);
  
                      await Conversation.SendAsync(activity, () =&gt;
                      new ExceptionHandlerDialog&lt;object&gt;(new ShuttleBusDialog(), displayException: true));                              
                  }
                  else
                  {
                      HandleSystemMessage(activity);
                  }
                  var response = Request.CreateResponse(System.Net.HttpStatusCode.OK);
                  return response;
              }
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This code is working also but it says "TYPING" as animation and goes to next message. But I want it should show my message which I have set as "Shuttlebot is typing...</p>
