Need help on C# Twitch bot

Hey I want to create a chat bot for Twitch and I'm kind of a beginner in those things and this is my work so far:

Form1.cs as below:

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;

namespace MyTwitchChat
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        private string username;
        private string password;

        bool joined;

        IRCClient ircClient;
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();

        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            username = userNameTB.Text;
            password = TokenBox.Text;
            ircClient = new IRCClient("irc.chat.twitch.tv", 6667, username, password);
            ircClient.joinChannel("deadlycursed");

            timer1.Start();

        }

        private void timer1_Tick(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {


            if (ircClient.tcpClient.Available > 0 )
            {

                string message = ircClient.inputStream.ReadLine();

                ChatBox.Items.Add(message);
                if (message.Contains("!Hallo"))  
                        ircClient.sendChatMessage("Hi!");
            }
        }
    }
}

IRCClient.cs as below:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Net;
using System.Net.Sockets;
using System.IO;

namespace MyTwitchChat
{
    class IRCClient
    {
        private string username;
        private string channel;
        private string nickname = "deadlycursed";
        public TcpClient tcpClient;
        public StreamReader inputStream;
        public StreamWriter outputStream;


        public IRCClient(string ip, int port, string username, string password)
        {
            this.username = username;
            tcpClient = new TcpClient(ip, port);
            inputStream = new StreamReader(tcpClient.GetStream());
            outputStream = new StreamWriter(tcpClient.GetStream());

            outputStream.WriteLine("PASS " + password);
            outputStream.WriteLine("NICK " + nickname);
            outputStream.WriteLine("USER " + username + " 0 * :" + nickname );
            outputStream.Flush();
        }

        public void joinChannel(string channel)
        {
            this.channel = channel;
            outputStream.WriteLine("JOIN #" + channel);
            outputStream.Flush();

        }

        public void sendIRCMessage(string message)
        {
            outputStream.WriteLine(message);
            outputStream.Flush();
        }

        public void sendChatMessage(string message)
        {
            outputStream.WriteLine(":" + nickname + "!" + username + "@" + nickname + ".tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #"
                + channel + ":" + message);
            outputStream.Flush();
        }

        public string getMessage()
        {
            string message = inputStream.ReadLine();
            return message;
        }
    }
}

And I would like to know why I actually can't send messages or receive them? Sometimes the reading thing works and sometimes not and I can't write to the chat with my bot

There are libraries for helping you do this, so you could either see how they work or use them directly.

For example most popular on NuGet seems to be:

TwitchLib - Twitch Chat and API C# Library - https://github.com/swiftyspiffy/TwitchLib
