How to store in sql server response of bot

Question

I'm creating a bot using botframework , c# . I'm using also qnamaker. My questions is how to store in database the questions and answer of users. For the moment i can store in log table only message send by users as below :

MessagesController.cs :

   //   if (activity.Type == ActivityTypes.Message)
        {
           *************************
            // Log to Database
            // *************************

            // Instantiate the BotData dbContext
            Model.qnamakerbotdataEntities DB = new Model.qnamakerbotdataEntities();
            // Create a new UserLog object
            Model.UserLog NewUserLog = new Model.UserLog();

            // Set the properties on the UserLog object
            NewUserLog.Channel = activity.ChannelId;
            NewUserLog.UserID = activity.From.Id;
            NewUserLog.UserName = activity.From.Name;
            NewUserLog.created = DateTime.UtcNow;
            NewUserLog.Message = activity.Text.Truncate(500);

            // Add the UserLog object to UserLogs
            DB.UserLogs.Add(NewUserLog);
            // Save the changes to the database
            DB.SaveChanges();

Do you have an idea how to store message send by users and response of the bot ?

You could so something like below. Please note I did not have all your code to make this compile, but you should be able to adjust it if needed. the main part is creating a reply like this var reply = activityResult.CreateReply(); and then setting the text in the message variable in your if-else then setting the text of the reply then sending it
NewUserLog.Message = reply.Text; await context.PostAsync(reply);

    private async Task QnADialog(IDialogContext context, IAwaitable<object> result)
    {
        var activityResult = await result as Activity;
        var query = activityResult.Text;
        var reply = activityResult.CreateReply();

        var qnaResult = QnaApi.GetFirstQnaAnswer(query);
        string message = "";
        if (qnaResult == null)
        {
            message = $"Sorry, I did not understand. Please reformulate your question";

        }
        else
        {
            message = qnaResult.answers[0].answer;                
        }

        reply.Text = message;
        Model.qnamakerbotdataEntities DB = new Model.qnamakerbotdataEntities();
        // Create a new UserLog object
        Model.UserLog NewUserLog = new Model.UserLog();

        // Set the properties on the UserLog object
        NewUserLog.Channel = reply.ChannelId;
        NewUserLog.UserID = reply.From.Id;
        NewUserLog.UserName = reply.From.Name;
        NewUserLog.created = DateTime.UtcNow;

        NewUserLog.Message = reply.Text;
        await context.PostAsync(reply);

        context.Wait(MessageReceivedAsync);
    }
