Using TLSharp How to get UserProfilePhoto's photo? – Telegram API

I’m using TLSharp for dealing with really complicated Telegram API.

it’s hard to understand how xxxAbswww types can be converted to xxxwww types which contains the real usable information!

I have the code below:

TLUser user = client.MakeAuthAsync("<user_number>", hash, code).Result;

how can I get the photo of authenticated user?

    Agha Hamed,

    Users’ photo is accessible using ‘userProfilePhoto’ Telegram method and TLSharp didn’t implemented this method.

    But TLSharp provided some fascilities to implement other Telegram API methods. They says:

    You can call any method with help of SendRequestAsync function. For
    example, send user typing method:

      //Create request 
  var req = new TLRequestSetTyping()
  {
    action = new TLSendMessageTypingAction(),
    peer = peer
  };

  //run request, and deserialize response to Boolean
  return await SendRequestAsync<Boolean>(req);

    Unfortunately I don’t know how to use SendRequestAsync function to do this.

    try this:

    var photo = ((TLUserProfilePhoto)user.Photo);
var photoLocation = (TLFileLocation)photo.PhotoBig;

TLFile file = await client.GetFile(new TLInputFileLocation()
{
LocalId = photoLocation.LocalId,
Secret = photoLocation.Secret,
VolumeId = photoLocation.VolumeId
}, 1024 * 256);

//address to save pic 
string fileName = "D:\Project\user_profile.jpg";

using (var m = new MemoryStream(file.Bytes))
{
var img = Image.FromStream(m);

//pictureBox1.Image = img; //make a preview
img.Save(fileName, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
