Telegram bots can be queried directly in the chat or via inline queries.
To use inline queries in your bot, you need to set up inline mode by command:
Import Telegram.Bot.Types.InlineQueryResults namespace for inline query types.
There are two types that allow you to work with inline queries - InlineQuery and ChosenInlineResult:
{{#include ../../Examples/3/Inline.cs:switch-statement}}
Suppose we have two arrays:
{{#include ../../Examples/3/Inline.cs:arrays}}So we can handle inline queries this way:
{{#include ../../Examples/3/Inline.cs:on-inline-query-received}}InlineQueryResult is an abstract type used to create a response for inline queries. You can use these result types for inline queries: InlineQueryResultArticle for articles, InlineQueryResultPhoto for photos, etc.
This type helps to handle chosen inline result. For example, you may want to know which result users chose:
{{#include ../../Examples/3/Inline.cs:on-chosen-inline-result-received}}To use the feature you need to enable "inline feedback" in BotFather by /setinlinefeedback command:
Final result:
