Discord.NET C# 1.0.2 How to send messages to specific channels

I am making a bot that can announce messages when specific events happen. Does anyone know how I can output a message to a specific text channel?

What I did was: used dependency injection to have the logged-in client available wherever I wanted to send the message, in my case, it was a Module.

public XModule(DiscordSocketClient client){
 this.client = client;
}

Then as @slothgod said:

 private async Task Announce(ExampleType object) //1
        {
            ulong id = object.ChannelId; // 3
            var chnl = client.GetChannel(id) as IMessageChannel; // 4
            await chnl.SendMessageAsync("Message!"); // 5
        }

As @slothgod said

    public async Task Announce() // 1
{
    DiscordSocketClient _client = new DiscordSocketClient(); // 2
    ulong id = 123456789012345678; // 3
    var chnl = _client.GetChannel(id) as IMessageChannel; // 4
    await chnl.SendMessageAsync("Announcement!"); // 5
}

The above code works when you want to send reply pre-fixed messages(Like "Announcement!" in above code) in only one channel. You can change the channel in "ulong id = ....your channel id here....;"

But if you want to send custom messages to custom channel then try this code.

    public async Task _say(IMessageChannel chh,[Remainder]string repeat)
{
    await Context.Message.DeleteAsync();
    await chh.SendMessageAsync(repeat); // 5
}

To use the code I sent just type this command : "Your Bot Prefix and Command" "Channel name or ID" "Message you want to send"

Example : DFH.say TestChannel Welcome to this channel

public async Task TalkInChannel() //1
{
   DiscordSocketClient _client = new DiscordSocketClient(); //2
   var channel = _client.GetChannel(Channel ID) as SocketGuildChannel; //3
   await channel.SendMessageAsync("Message Here!"); //4
}

You can also use embeds by creating an Embed then replacing "Message Here!" with """, false EmbedName.Build()"

    ulong id = 123456789012345678; // 3

    await chnl.SendMessageAsync("Announcement!"); // 5
}

[1] A standard async task (You can choose to just include the code inside the braces inside your own method).
[2] Create an instance of the Discord Client.
[3] A random sequential channel ID (Replace with your own channel ID).
[4] Creating an instance of the Discord Channel as an IMessageChannel instead of a SocketChannel.
[5] Sending the message to the text channel.
