create telegramm bot in csharp

Here are the steps to create a Telegram Bot in C#:

  1. First, you need to create a Telegram Bot account and get its API Token from the BotFather. Keep this API Token handy.

  2. Open Visual Studio and create a new C# project.

  3. Install the following NuGet package: Telegram.Bot. This can be done using the Package Manager Console by running the command: Install-Package Telegram.Bot.

  4. Create a new C# class and name it something like "TelegramBot". In this class, create an instance of the Telegram.Bot class and pass the API Token as a parameter. Here's some example code:

main.cs
using Telegram.Bot;

public class TelegramBot
{
    private readonly TelegramBotClient bot;

    public TelegramBot(string accessToken)
    {
        bot = new TelegramBotClient(accessToken);
    }
}

  1. Now that you've created a new instance of the TelegramBot client, you can start using it to interact with Telegram's API. For example, you can use the bot.SendTextMessageAsync() method to send a text message to a user. Here's some example code:
main.cs
await bot.SendTextMessageAsync(chatId, "Hello World!");

  1. To actually receive messages, you need to set up a webhook or long polling. You can use the bot.SetWebhookAsync() method to set up a webhook or the bot.GetUpdatesAsync() method to poll for new messages. Here's some example code for implementing long polling:
main.cs
int offset = 0;
while (true)
{
    var updates = await bot.GetUpdatesAsync(offset);

    foreach (var update in updates)
    {
        offset = update.Id + 1;

        if (update.Message != null)
        {
            long chatId = update.Message.Chat.Id;
            string messageText = update.Message.Text;

            await bot.SendTextMessageAsync(chatId, "You said: " + messageText);
        }
    }

    await Task.Delay(1000);
}

  1. Finally, run your C# project and start interacting with your Telegram Bot!

Note: This is just a basic example of how to create a Telegram Bot in C#. There are many advanced features that you can implement, such as keyboard buttons, inline mode, etc.
