Need to serialize and reserialize DirectLineClient object

[mohd-ismail-siddiqui]

Hi @JasonSowers,

Facing an issue when I am connecting my Bot Framework SDK bot to PVA(Power Virtual Agent) Bot(Child bot) using directlineclient object. As this object is used to make a websocket connection between both Bots.

But as my Main bot is based on HTTP protocol, each request is a unique request. Hence it needs to save websocket connection (in this case direclineclient object). But facing an issue while serialization and deserialization of directlineclient object.

       `
          Unable to find a constructor to use for type Microsoft.Bot.Connector.DirectLine.DirectLineClient. A class should either have a 
          default constructor, one constructor with arguments or a constructor marked with the JsonConstructor attribute. Path 
          'BaseUri', line 1, position 11.

Sorry, I don't even work at Microsoft anymore. I also have no idea what PVA is. Good luck.

@JasonSowers : No issue, can you tell me from whom I can ask the same question or if possible you can assign someone.
