DSharpPlus | NET Standard library for making bots | REST library

I'm trying to make it so when you call a Interactivity Embed, the line that shows on the left side is the same color as the Bots highest role color. (Really minor details, but for some reason I really want it)

So far i only found answers for the Javascript version (discord.js) but none for DSharp. The Documentation on https://dsharpplus.github.io/api isn't helping either. I tried the following:

I want to create a Discord bot and both DSharpPlus and Discord.Net use Console applications in their tutorials.

I would like to know if there are any reasons for this because when thinking about it a worker service application seems to fit better, no? I can setup the bot in the StartAsync method and if needed I can dispose all the things in the StopAsync method.

So does someone know why console applications are preferred? Perhaps worker services have disadvantages that I am not currently aware of?

Maybe the bot will struggle with the ExecuteAsync method?

Update: The issue was actually unrelated to async - my database was out of sync and the LINQ queries were failing. DSharpPlus discards caught exceptions so there was no indication of any problem. See my self-answer below for more details.

I am encountering a hang/deadlock while attempting to use the async methods of EF Core on .NET 5. This is in a console app (so no ASP.NET, WPF, or anything like that) but I am using the Microsoft.Extensions.Hosting package to manage the application lifecycle. I am also using a 3rd party middleware DSharpPlus which is responsible for dispatching work onto a thread pool, which is where I call into EF. Dependency injection is in use, configured via Host.CreateDefaultBuilder.

DSharpPlus is run asynchronously from an IHostedService (via a scoped DI wrapper - since hosted services must be singletons and DbContext is scoped). It dispatches events onto a thread pool (via Task.Run) after creating a new instance of the handler code from a fresh DI scope. The handler code calls into a newly created instance of an injected service, which finally calls into the DbContext (also a fresh instance).

This is more complex than I would like, but everything I've read suggests that it should work. Unfortunately, it breaks when I attempt to use EF. Any code using EF hangs as soon as it awaits, but the same code works when EF is stubbed out. This is the shortest/simplest transaction (reduced a bit for readability):

I am building a Discord Bot in C# (dsharpplus) and I get an error with the Distinct() method but I do not know why...

I have made Python discord bots in the past with discord.py but now I am learning C# and I want to try to make one with discord.net. When I try to install discord.net - I click on dependencies, then NuGet packages, and then browse and search up discord.net. When I press the install button, I get the following error:

I would like to have a GetChannelByName() or some simmilar function to be able to use SendMessageAsync which requires a channel type (DiscordChannel type) as its first parameter. How do you use that in DSharpPlus?

How can I kick member from voice channel?
In DSharpplus Api Documentation I've only found Task PlaceMemberAsync(DiscordMember Member) or public Task PlaceInAsync(DiscordChannel channel)
await Member.PlaceInAsync(null) doesn't work

Thank's for your answer's

I have a .NET Console App integrated with Entity Framework and Discord Sharp Plus with the following libraries:

• DSharpPlus
• DSharpPlus.CommandsNext
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Sqlite
• Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Tools

Running the application without debugging (Control + F5 in Visual Studio) works just fine, no crashes issued.

However, if I run with debugging, upon accessing my DbContext, I get an error

InvalidOperationException: The Process has no package identity (0x80073D54)

An example being this line:
