Getting Message History with min_id

[isaacrlevin]

Maybe I am having a moment, but I don't see how you can get all messages for a channel based on the latest message in a datastore. This is because the message.ID is stored as a long, but parameter min_id for Messages_GetHistory is an int. No type of conversion is going to make this work. Is there something I am missing here. Here is a snippet for instance.

client = new WTelegram.Client(appid, "apphash");
while (client.User == null)
            switch (await client.Login("phonenumber"))
            {
                case "verification_code": Console.Write("Code: "); loginInfo = Console.ReadLine(); break;
                case "name": loginInfo = "John Doe"; break;    // if sign-up is required (first/last_name)
                case "password": loginInfo = "secret!"; break; // if user has enabled 2FA
                default: loginInfo = null; break;
            }

var chats = await client.Messages_GetAllChats();

foreach (var (id, chat) in chats.chats)
    {
            switch (chat)
            {
                case Channel group:
                    Console.WriteLine($"{id}: Group {group.username}: {group.title}");
                    var messages = await client.Messages_GetHistory(group, limit: 1000);
                    var latestMessage = messages.Messages.OrderByDescending(a => a.date).FirstOrDefault();
                    Thread.Sleep(100000);
                    // Here you fail at compilation because long to int conversion. Casting will warrant incorresults
                    var newMessages = messages = await client.Messages_GetHistory(channel, limit: 1000,  min_id: latestMessage.id);
                    break;
            }
    }

why is your message.ID a long? it's an int.

anyway, you should ask this on StackOverflow
