    class Program
    {
        static async Task Main(string[] args)
        {
            try
            {
                GraphClient client = new GraphClient();
                client.ClientId = "63333333-209e-454e-b7bd-55a4d201270f";
                client.Tenant = "independentsoft.onmicrosoft.com";
                client.ClientSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";

                IList<ChatMessage> messages = await client.GetChannelMessages("team-id-123", "channel-id-456");

                for (int i = 0; i < messages.Count; i++)
                {
                    Console.WriteLine("Id = " + messages[i].Id);
                    Console.WriteLine("Body = " + messages[i].Body?.Content);
                    Console.WriteLine("");
                }

                Console.Read();
            }
            catch (GraphException ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Error: " + ex.Code);
                Console.WriteLine("Message: " + ex.Message);
                Console.Read();
            }

VB example

Imports Independentsoft.Graph
Imports Independentsoft.Graph.Teams

Namespace Sample
    Class Module1
        Shared Sub Main(ByVal args As String())
            Dim task = New Task(AddressOf Run)
            task.Start()
            Console.Read()
        End Sub

        Shared Async Sub Run()
            Try
                Dim client As GraphClient = New GraphClient()
                client.ClientId = "63333333-209e-454e-b7bd-55a4d201270f"
                client.Tenant = "independentsoft.onmicrosoft.com"
                client.ClientSecret = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

                Dim messages As IList(Of ChatMessage) = Await client.GetChannelMessages("team-id-123", "channel-id-456")

                For i As Integer = 0 To messages.Count - 1
                    Console.WriteLine("Id = " & messages(i).Id)
                    Console.WriteLine("Body = " & messages(i).Body?.Content)
                    Console.WriteLine("")
                Next
