Prompting a user for a string C# botframe work

I'm currently busy designing a bot, that receives a project name and returns the status of it, however I can't get the prompting for the name to work.

Currently this is the method i'm using to prompt the user

[LuisIntent("ProjectInfo")]
        public async Task projectInfo(IDialogContext context, LuisResult result, IAwaitable<string> Userresult)
        {
            await context.PostAsync($"Enter your project name");
            var Promt = await Userresult;
            string projectName = Promt.ToString().ToLower();
            if(projectName != null)
            {
                TestInfo MI = new TestInfo();
                if(MI.FindProject(projectName.ToString()) == 0)
                {
                    await context.PostAsync($"Project Found. What do you want to know ?");
                }
                else
                {
                    await context.PostAsync($"Project Not Found.");
                }
            }
            context.Wait(MessageReceived);
        }

With this current code I'm receiving a Exception: ProjectInfo [File of type 'text/plain'].

I have tried using a prompt dialog but that didn't seem to work ether. My end goal for this is to loop and prompt the user for a new project name until "Project Found" is displayed.

I'm not sure if I'm going about this the right way, if not any suggestions are welcome.

Unfortunately I've not come across your version yet but I can give you an example of a different approach.

Usually I prompt for simple texts something like this:

PromptDialog.Text(context, AfterPromptMethod, "Prompt text", attempts: 100);

Signature of AfterPromptMethod:

async Task AfterPromptMethod(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<string> userInput)

With this you could do your logic in the AfterPromptMethod and loop back to the prompt in messageReceived.
