I'm trying to make it so when my discord bot goes online it will post a message in a specific channel. When I try to run the bot with the command below I just get:

System.NullReferenceException: 'Object reference not set to an instance of an object.'

Any help? I know very little about C# so I may just seem stupid.

client.ExecuteAndWait(async () =>

        {
            var Chat = client.GetChannel(TheChannelID);

            await Chat.SendMessage("Good morning!");
        });

What version of Discord.NET are you using? – Kaynn Oct 04 '17 at 17:57
0.9.6 I don't know if I should use another verision though. – Xilefen Oct 04 '17 at 18:03
I recommend you update to Discord.NET v1.0+ though.. – Kaynn Oct 04 '17 at 18:06
Ok I'll try doing that. – Xilefen Oct 04 '17 at 18:08
I did and now a lot of my code has stopped working and I get a lot of errors. – Xilefen Oct 04 '17 at 18:18
The startup guide is located here: https://discord.foxbot.me/docs/guides/getting_started/installing.html , most of the codes in 0.9 wont work in 1.0. – Kaynn Oct 04 '17 at 18:19
