Telegram sendtextmessage VB.NET

Hi William,

It seems their knowledgebase article has all the details here: Text - A guide to Telegram.Bot library[^]

For language, VB.NET to C# should be relatively easy for few lines of code. Either you can do it manually (looks pretty straight forward on what are the steps and API) OR you can choose to use a converter (like Code Converter C# to VB and VB to C# – Telerik[^] ) to get some basic conversion.

Sample:

//You can use this code snippet in the event handler from Example Bot page and use chatId 
//or put the chatId value if you know it.

// using Telegram.Bot.Types;
// using Telegram.Bot.Types.Enums;
// using Telegram.Bot.Types.ReplyMarkups;

Message message = await botClient.SendTextMessageAsync(
    chatId: chatId,
    text: "Trying *all the parameters* of `sendMessage` method",
    parseMode: ParseMode.MarkdownV2,
    disableNotification: true,
    replyToMessageId: update.Message.MessageId,
    replyMarkup: new InlineKeyboardMarkup(
        InlineKeyboardButton.WithUrl(
            "Check sendMessage method",
            "https://core.telegram.org/bots/api#sendmessage")),
    cancellationToken: cancellationToken);

Try out!
