TLsharp Console to send message

I am trying to use the TLsharp library to send a telegram via a simple C# console app. My program runs but i receive not messages. I have gone through the process of creating an app on the Telegram website and received the necessary hash id and code.Please assist
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using TeleSharp.TL;
using TLSharp;
using TLSharp.Core;
namespace TLsharpTest
{
class Program
{
const int apiId = 55xxx;
const int groupId = -167xxxxx;
const string apiHash = "220xxxxxxxx";
const string number = "27xxxxxxx";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
var client = new TelegramClient(apiId, apiHash);
client.ConnectAsync();
var hash = client.SendCodeRequestAsync(number);
var code = "55xxx"; // you can change code in debugger
var user = client.MakeAuthAsync(number, apiHash, code);
client.SendMessageAsync(new TLInputPeerUser() { user_id = groupId }, "TEST");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}

You should have the users's access_hash to send messages. It should look like this:
_client.SendMessageAsync(
new TLInputPeerUser()
{
user_id = channelUser.Id,
access_hash = channelUser.AccessHash
}

How to Generate Text File from API Source?

I have a small problem. I just recently started using Twilio's API to generate a record of messages that was sent to my assigned SID and Auth Token. However my question is how can I generate a text file, based off of what the console writes from the source its addressed to?
Code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Twilio;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Find your Account Sid and Auth Token at twilio.com/user/account
string AccountSid = "X";
string AuthToken = "X";
var twilio = new TwilioRestClient(AccountSid, AuthToken);
// Build the parameters
var options = new MessageListRequest();
options.From = "2015-07-01";
options.To = "2015-07-13";
var messages = twilio.ListMessages(options);
foreach (var message in messages.Messages)
{
Console.WriteLine(message.Body);
Console.Read();
}
}
}
}

Writing to a text file is pretty much boilerplate. The methods are shown here:

How to print out the result of a SWI-Prolog query from C# using Swi-cs-pl library

I'm trying to understand how the Swi-cs-pl library works by doing my own little program, but I cannot printout any result from a query based on the example from SWI-Prolog web.
I have this code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using SbsSW.SwiPlCs;
namespace HolaMundo
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
if (!PlEngine.IsInitialized)
{
String[] param = { "-q" }; // suppressing informational and banner messages
PlEngine.Initialize(param);
PlQuery.PlCall("assert(father(hader, nevar))");
PlQuery.PlCall("assert(father(hader, sergio))");
PlQuery.PlCall("assert(brother(nevar, sergio):- father(hader, nevar), father(hader, sergio))");
//How do I write out in a Console the answer for a query like:
// brother(nevar, sergio)
PlEngine.PlCleanup();
}
}
}
}
As I said on my code, I just want to query something basic like: brother(nevar, sergio). and get any answer from Console like true or whatever.
Can anyone help me?

How can I determine the SATA channel for a given disk?

Using DISKPART command line utility, I can get something called a "Location path" which appears to give me what I need, you can view this by using the command detail disk after selecting one of your disks in diskpart.
It appears I can get this information programatically via this class: MSFT_Disk
I am unsure about how to get an instance of this class. I have a few examples of using a ManagementObjectSearcher for WMI classes but that method is not working for me, I am also unsure of MSFT_Disk's availability in Windows 7 as the page mentions that this is for Windows 8.
Does anyone know of a good way to get SATA channel information or the "location path" of a disk?

If you want to not require Windows 8, I believe WMI is the way to go:
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Management;
namespace DiskScanPOC
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
var managementScope = new ManagementScope();
//get disk drives
var query = new ObjectQuery("select * from Win32_DiskDrive");
var searcher = new ManagementObjectSearcher(managementScope, query);
var oReturnCollection = searcher.Get();
//List all properties available, in case the below isn't what you want.
var colList = oReturnCollection.Cast<ManagementObject>().First();
foreach (var property in colList.Properties)
{
Console.WriteLine("Property: {0} = {1}", property.Name, property.Value);
}
//loop through found drives and write out info
foreach (ManagementObject oReturn in oReturnCollection)
{
Console.WriteLine("Name : " + oReturn["Name"]);
Console.WriteLine("Target Id: " + oReturn["SCSITargetId"]);
Console.WriteLine("Port: " + oReturn["SCSIPort"]);
}
Console.Read();
}
}
}
I didn't crack open my case to verify the SATA port numbers, but the above app looks like it gives reasonable results on my machine with 3 SATA hard drives.

If you want to get the location path, SetupDiGetDeviceRegistryProperty is the function you're looking for. Set the property value to SPDRP_LOCATION_INFORMATION.
I'm assuming you already know how to enumerate devices to get the DeviceInfoSet and DeviceInfoData.

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Management;
namespace Hard_Disk_Interface
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnCheck_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
WqlObjectQuery q = new WqlObjectQuery("SELECT * FROM Win32_IDEController");
ManagementObjectSearcher res = new ManagementObjectSearcher(q);
lblHDDChanels.Text = string.Empty;
foreach (ManagementObject o in res.Get())
{
string Caption = o["Caption"].ToString();
lblHDDChanels.Text += Caption + "\n\n";
if (Caption.Contains("Serial"))
{
lblInterface.Text = "S-ATA";
}
}
}
}
}
Note: First Add the reference of System.Management.dll of .net freamwork 4.0

how I can change the voice synthesizer gender and age in C#?

I would like to change the gender and age of the voice of System.Speech in c#. For example, a girl of 10 years but can not find any simple example to help me adjust the parameters.

First, check which voices you have installed by enumerating the GetInstalledVoices method of the SpeechSynthesizer class, and then use SelectVoiceByHints to select one of them:
using (SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
// show installed voices
foreach (var v in synthesizer.GetInstalledVoices().Select(v => v.VoiceInfo))
{
Console.WriteLine("Name:{0}, Gender:{1}, Age:{2}",
v.Description, v.Gender, v.Age);
}
// select male senior (if it exists)
synthesizer.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male, VoiceAge.Senior);
// select audio device
synthesizer.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice();
// build and speak a prompt
PromptBuilder builder = new PromptBuilder();
builder.AppendText("Found this on Stack Overflow.");
synthesizer.Speak(builder);
}

Did you take a look at this ?

first you need to intialise the reference speech using the add reference.
then create an event handler for the speak started then you can edit the paramemters inside that handler.
in the handler is where you can change the voice and age using the
synthesizer.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male , VoiceAge.Adult);

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Speech.Synthesis; // first import this package
namespace textToSpeech
{
public partial class home : Form
{
public string s = "pran"; // storing string (pran) to s
private void home_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
speech(s); // calling the function with a string argument
}
private void speech(string args) // defining the function which will accept a string parameter
{
SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer();
synthesizer.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male , VoiceAge.Adult); // to change VoiceGender and VoiceAge check out those links below
synthesizer.Volume = 100; // (0 - 100)
synthesizer.Rate = 0; // (-10 - 10)
// Synchronous
synthesizer.Speak("Now I'm speaking, no other function'll work");
// Asynchronous
synthesizer.SpeakAsync("Welcome" + args); // here args = pran
}
}
}
It'll be better choice to use "SpeakAsync" because when "Speak" function is executing/running none of other function will work until it finishes it's work (personally recommended)
Change VoiceGender
Change VoiceAge

These age and gender is actually of no use. If you have many voices installed in your windows, then you may call specific voices by these parameters. Otherwise, its simply fake!
