    public class Program
    {
        public static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            Program program = new Program();
            program.Run().Wait();
        }
		
        public async Task Run()
        {
            // Create authenticator using a bot user token.
            DiscordBotUserToken token = new DiscordBotUserToken("<bot user token goes here>");

            // Create a WebSocket application.
            DiscordWebSocketApplication app = new DiscordWebSocketApplication(token);

            // Create and start a single shard.
            Shard shard = app.ShardManager.CreateSingleShard();
            await shard.StartAsync(CancellationToken.None);

            // Subscribe to the message creation event.
            shard.Gateway.OnMessageCreated += Gateway_OnMessageCreated;

            // Wait for the shard to end before closing the program.
            while (shard.IsRunning)
                await Task.Delay(1000);
        }

        private static async void Gateway_OnMessageCreated(object sender, MessageEventArgs e)
        {
            Shard shard = e.Shard;
            DiscordMessage message = e.Message;

            if (message.Author == shard.User)
                // Ignore messages created by our bot.
                return;

            if (message.Content == "!ping")
            {
                // Grab the DM or guild text channel this message was posted in from cache.
                ITextChannel textChannel = (ITextChannel)shard.Cache.Channels.Get(message.ChannelId);

                try

                    // Reply to the user who posted "!ping".
                    await textChannel.SendMessage($"<@{message.Author.Id}> Pong!");
                }
                catch (Exception) {  /* Message failed to send... :( */ }
