Usage
-----
Events in Discord.NET are raised using the Event system in c#. Most events are raised on the ``DiscordClient`` class.
Messages from the Discord server are exposed via events on the DiscordClient class and follow the standard EventHandler<EventArgs> C# pattern.
Most events in Discord.NET explain theirselves by their name.
.. warning::
Note that all synchronous code in an event handler will run on the gateway socket's thread and should be handled as quickly as possible.
Using the async-await pattern to let the thread continue immediately is recommended and is demonstrated in the examples below.
Connection State
----------------
Connection Events will be raised when the Connection State of your client changes.
.. warning::
You should not use DiscordClient.Connected to run code when your client first connects to Discord.
If you lose connection and automatically reconnect, this code will be ran again, which may lead to unexpected behavior.
Messages
--------
The Four Message Events (MessageReceived, Updated, Deleted, and Acknowledged) are raised when a message has been modified/created.
MessageReceived, MessageUpdated and MessageDeleted are raised when a new message arrives, an existing one has been updated (by the user, or by Discord itself), or deleted.
MessageAcknowledged is only triggered in client mode, and occurs when a message is read on another device logged-in with your account.
Example of MessageReceived:

// (Preface: Echo Bots are discouraged, make sure your bot is not running in a public server if you use them)

Users
-----
There are Six User Events:
There are several user events:
UserBanned: A user has been banned from a Server
UserUnbanned: A user was unbanned
UserJoined: A user joins a server
UserLeft: A user left (or was kicked) from a Server
UserIsTyping: A user in a channel starts typing
UserUpdated: A user object was updated. (caused by a presence update, role/permission change, or a voice state update)
UserBanned: A user has been banned from a server.
UserUnbanned: A user was unbanned.
UserJoined: A user joins a server.
UserLeft: A user left (or was kicked from) a server.
UserIsTyping: A user in a channel starts typing.
UserUpdated: A user object was updated (presence update, role/permission change, or a voice state update).
.. note::
UserUpdated Events include a ``User`` object for Before and After the change.
