how to use WordNet in C#?

Question

I want to find out synonyms of a specific word Like "help". The synonyms of help are "aid", "assist" or "assistance" etc.

I have downloaded the Wordnet library and used this in Visual Studio.

1. Create new project
2. Download library of Wordnet using Manage NuGet Packages.

3. Work with this code:

   WordNetEngine wne = new WordNetEngine();
   PartOfSpeech pos = new PartOfSpeech();
   SynSet ss = new SynSet(pos, 0, wne);
   Console.WriteLine("words form wordnet" + ss.Words);
   

But this is not working.

Please can anyone help me in this regard with code example in C#?
