I am building a bot with the Microsoft bot framework. I don't want to use bot(other than webchat) emulator and don't want to use Azure also.I want to host my bot in local IIS only. Instead of using bot emulator I want to create my own custom chat page for chat with bot. I checked this but didn't get any idea. Is there any way to do so? Please help. Thanks.

You can host your bot into your local IIS if you have valid SSL certificate. Your endpoint must be https. – Bob Swager May 18 '17 at 06:55

Into your botframework dashboard : http://prntscr.com/f95v5k. Creating your web site and other stuff is another thing to discuss. – Bob Swager May 18 '17 at 07:00

@BobSwager I have hosted it in the local IIS of my VM, and there is no internet connection. So inside that VM how can i make conversation with bot without bot emulator? – Harsh Jaswal May 18 '17 at 07:05

If you've internet connection you can use ngrok to make your local address public. Then, for endpoint use generated address from ngrok. At the end, send web chat to your testers. – Bob Swager May 18 '17 at 10:35
