gRPC in 3 minutes (C#)

BACKGROUND

For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from helloworld.proto.

Example projects in this directory depend on the Grpc and Google.Protobuf NuGet packages which have been already added to the project for you.

PREREQUISITES

• The .NET Core SDK (version 2+ is recommended)

You can also build the example directly using Visual Studio 2017, but it's not a requirement.

BUILD

From the examples/csharp/Helloworld directory:

• dotnet build Greeter.sln

(if you're using dotnet SDK 1.x you need to run dotnet restore Greeter.sln first)

Try it!

• Run the server

  > cd GreeterServer
  > dotnet run -f netcoreapp1.0
  

• Run the client

  > cd GreeterClient
  > dotnet run -f netcoreapp1.0
