## What it is
WTelegramClient is a Telegram Client API (MTProto) library written entirely in C# and .NET, allowing programs to connect to Telegram and control a user account (or bot) programmatically. It supports all Telegram Client APIs so you can do everything a full Telegram GUI client can do.

## Use cases
- automate a telegram user account from c#
- send and receive telegram messages programmatically
- build a telegram userbot in .net
- read telegram channel messages with a script
- control telegram without the gui client
- implement telegram mtproto client api in c#

## When to choose
- you need full Telegram user-client capabilities (not just bot API) from C#/.NET
- you want a pure managed .NET implementation without TDLib native dependencies
- you are comfortable with async C# and want fine-grained access to all MTProto methods

## When to avoid
- you only need a simple Telegram bot - WTelegramBot or the Bot API is easier
- you are a C# beginner, as the library requires advanced async and pattern-matching skills
- you work outside the .NET ecosystem
