  1. Install-Package Telegram.Bot
  2. Create a bot using the botfather
  3. get the api key using the /token command (still in botfather)
  4. use this code:

var bot = new Api("your api key here"); var t = await bot.SendTextMessage("@channelname or chat_id", "text message");

You can now pass a channel username (in the format @channelusername) in the place of chat_id in all methods (and instead of from_chat_id in forwardMessage). For this to work, the bot must be an administrator in the channel.
