Bot Framework 4.0

Hello, Tim,    

The Conversational UI component or Chat UI control for Telerik UI for WinForms allows you to create modern chat experiences in your WinForms applications, regardless of the chat bot framework you choose, or to accommodate a peer-to-peer chat scenario.

Telerik UI for WinForms suite doesn't support rendering for adaptive cards. However, RadChat offers different cards to display data in a structured layout. Thus, the visually ordered information is easier to digest for the user. In addition, it may respond to users' action. Please refer to the following help article: https://docs.telerik.com/devtools/winforms/controls/chat/chat-items/cards You can also construct your own cards that achieves the layout you need.

The Building a WinForms Chatbot: Key Features of the RadChat Control blog post summarizes what kind of items RadChat offers. 

I would recommend you to have a look at our Demo application >> Conversational UI examples which give you getting started experience with RadChat that the Telerik UI for WinForms suite offers. It is located in the installation folder of the suite: C:\Program Files (x86)\Progress\Telerik UI for WinForms R3 2019\Examples\QuickStart\Bin

I hope this information helps. If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
