To use a Telegram bot to get user account details in VB.NET, you need to utilize the Telegram Bot API and establish a connection with your bot. Here’s an example of how you can achieve this:
- First, you need to install the
Telegram.Bot
package using the NuGet package manager in Visual Studio. Right-click on your project, select “Manage NuGet Packages,” search for “Telegram.Bot,” and install it. - Import the necessary namespaces in your VB.NET code:
Imports Telegram.Bot
Imports Telegram.Bot.Args
Imports Telegram.Bot.Types
Module Module1
Dim botToken As String = "YourBotToken"
Dim botClient As TelegramBotClient
Sub Main()
botClient = New TelegramBotClient(botToken)
AddHandler botClient.OnMessage, AddressOf Bot_OnMessage
botClient.StartReceiving()
Console.WriteLine("Bot started. Press any key to exit.")
Console.ReadKey()
botClient.StopReceiving()
End Sub
Private Sub Bot_OnMessage(sender As Object, e As MessageEventArgs)
Dim message As Message = e.Message
If message.Type = MessageType.Text Then
Dim chatId As Long = message.Chat.Id
Dim firstName As String = message.From.FirstName
Dim lastName As String = message.From.LastName
Dim username As String = message.From.Username
Dim reply As String = $"First Name: {firstName}{vbCrLf}" &
$"Last Name: {lastName}{vbCrLf}" &
$"Username: {username}{vbCrLf}"
botClient.SendTextMessageAsync(chatId, reply)
End If
End Sub
End Module
Finally, run your application and send a message to your bot on Telegram. The bot should reply with the user account details.
Don’t forget to replace your own "BotToken"
with the actual token for your Telegram bot.
