Calling formflow from LUIS in bot framework 4.0 - botframework

I need to call the formflow from LUIS using bot framework 4.0. Is it possible to do? If anyone has done it before please share reference links.
Thanks,
Sheveta

I am not sure exactly what you are trying to achieve here, but FormFlow has been deprecated from the core SDK as of v4. It is however available via the Bot Builder Community project on GitHub over at https://github.com/BotBuilderCommunity/botbuilder-community-dotnet or via NuGet at https://www.nuget.org/packages/Bot.Builder.Community.Dialogs.FormFlow/

FormFlows are removed from the Bot Framework SDK v4, they were an essential part of SDK v3 nonetheless.
However if you want to mimic the functionality of FormFlows the closest you can get using purely SDK v4 is by using Waterfall dialogs which are like mini dialogs prompted at each step.
And also like Gary said, you can use the Bot.Builder.Community.Dialogs.FormFlow nuget package for getting a port into SDK v4.

Where to find Bot builder SDK V3 Visual Studio.net template for C#

Where can I find the link to the C# project template for V3 Bot framework SDK?
Was this project template deprecated by Microsoft after the release of V4 SDK?
You are correct, they are focusing on the v4 framework and have moved their efforts there.
The only place I was able to find the template was in this github repo

which version to use to build bot: bot framework SDK 3.x or SDK4.0?

Since I used to build bot using SDK 3.x, recently 4.0 is out. Though the documentation is very poor for bot framework SDK4., is it recommended to use for new bots?
does support for SDK 3.x stops in future?
Thanks.
Officially, v4 is now the stable and up-to-date version. From the official repository here:
If you are new to the Bot Builder SDK, we strongly encourage you to
build your bot using the v4 SDK.
v3 will still be supported for a while, but in the end this support will be stopped (I can't find the date).
You can have a look to the roadmap of v4 here: https://github.com/microsoft/botbuilder-dotnet/wiki/Roadmap

Xamarin support for cognitive speech service

I want to use the Cognitive speech service (real-time continuous speech to text and interim results) in the Xamarin app. Is there any SDKs or plugin available? Since REST API has some limitations (no interim results), i am unable to go with it.
Currently the SDK supports C# .NET and C++. We are expanding SDK support on other platforms. Support for .Netstandard and UWP will coming soon. Xamarin is also on our list. Please stay tuned.

Waiting for reply

XLabs is no longer maintained and they state it may no longer work with newer versions of Xamarin Forms.
I would recommend using FreshMvvm as an MVVM framework.
It was specifically designed to work with Xamarin Forms and I have successfully used it on 3 recent projects.
Here is a starter guide

Bot Framework Version isn't updated

We use Microsoft Bot Framework and Node.js application.
botbuilder dependency has been updated in package.json. However on https://dev.botframework.com/bots?id=bot_id the Bot Framework Version is still an old one.
Any ideas why?
The framework version references just the REST API version, not the SDK version. When we brought Skype & Bot Framework API's together we jumped to V3.0.
