If you run this program again, you will notice that only **api_hash** is requested, the other prompts are gone and you are automatically logged-on and ready to go.
This is because WTelegramClient saves (typically in the encrypted file **bin\WTelegram.session**) its state and the authentication keys that were negotiated with Telegram so that you needn't sign-in again every time.

# Terminology in Telegram Client API
In the API, Telegram uses some terms/classnames that can be confusing as they differ from the terms shown to end-users:
- `Channel` : A (large or public) chat group *(sometimes called [supergroup](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#supergroups))* or a [broadcast channel](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#channels) (the `broadcast` flag differentiate those)
- `Chat` : A private [basic chat group](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#basic-groups) with less than 200 members (it may be migrated to a supergroup `Channel` with a new ID when it gets bigger or public, in which case the old `Chat` will still exist but be `deactivated`)
- `Channel` : A (large or public) chat group *(sometimes called [supergroup](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#supergroups))*
or a [broadcast channel](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#channels) (the `broadcast` flag differentiate those)
- `Chat` : A private [basic chat group](https://corefork.telegram.org/api/channel#basic-groups) with less than 200 members
(it may be migrated to a supergroup `Channel` with a new ID when it gets bigger or public, in which case the old `Chat` will still exist but be `deactivated`)
**⚠️ Most chat groups you see are really of type `Channel`, not `Chat`!**
- chats : In plural or general meaning, it means either `Chat` or `Channel`
- `Peer` : Either a `Chat`, a `Channel` or a `User`

The Client class also offers an `OnUpdate` event that is triggered when Telegram servers sends Updates (like new messages or status), independently of your API requests. See [Examples/Program_ListenUpdates.cs](https://github.com/wiz0u/WTelegramClient/blob/master/Examples/Program_ListenUpdates.cs)

See [Examples/Program_ListenUpdates.cs](https://github.com/wiz0u/WTelegramClient/blob/master/Examples/Program_ListenUpdates.cs)
An invalid API request can result in a `RpcException` being raised, reflecting the [error code and status text](https://revgram.github.io/errors.html) of the problem.
The other configuration items that you can override include: **session_pathname, session_key, server_address, device_model, system_version, app_version, system_lang_code, lang_pack, lang_code, user_id**
Optional API parameters have a default value of `null` when unset. Passing `null` for a required string/array is the same as *empty* (0-length). Required API parameters/fields can sometimes be set to 0 or `null` when unused (check API documentation or experiment).

I've added several useful converters, implicit cast or helper properties to various API objects so that they are more easy to manipulate.
