How to retrieve a list of discord users in a channel

I'm trying to write something in C#, a simple console app that will connect to Discord, retrieve a list of all users in a channel (all currently online would suffice, but everyone who has channel access would be even better.) The app does not need to maintain a connection, just jump in, grab the list of user names and jump out.

I've experimented with DiscordSharp, but it doesn't seem to quite be working out. I think I am getting a client connection but I can't seem to find any channels via GetChannelByName or GetChannelByID. I am not set on using DiscordSharp as the only solution, though I do like the library so far.

In a command module you can do this:

public class AllUsers : ModuleBase<SocketCommandContext>
{
    public async Task Traitement()
    {
        var users = Context.Guild.Users; 
        //you can loop here on users and do the traitement
    }
}

A "server" in discord is called a Guild. Per the documentation a Guild can have a list of Channel objects. In the Channel object there is a property called recipients which should give you all users of that channel.

I wouldn't recommend using DiscordSharp because according to their GitHub it is a dead project. They recommend using DSharpPlus or Discord.NET.

I just checked the documentation for Discord.NET and found a few methods you could use:

GetGuildAsync(UInt64, RequestOptions): This will get you the RestGuild (server) based on the server ID.

GetChannelAsync(UInt64, RequestOptions): This will get you the RestChannel based on the channel ID.

Using either one of these will eventually get you a RestChannel object that will contain a GetUsersAsync(CacheMode, RequestOptions) method that will allow you to get the collection of IUSer
