gRPC C#

A C# implementation of gRPC, Google's RPC library.

EXPERIMENTAL ONLY

This gRPC C# implementation is work-in-progress and is not expected to work yet.

• The implementation is a wrapper around gRPC C core library
• Code only runs under mono currently, building gGRPC C core library under Windows is in progress.
• It is very possible that some parts of the code will be heavily refactored or completely rewritten.

INSTALLATION AND USAGE

• Compile and install the gRPC C Core library

  make shared_c
  sudo make install
  

• Prerequisites for development: Mono framework, MonoDevelop (IDE)

  sudo apt-get install mono-devel
  sudo apt-get install monodevelop monodevelop-nunit
  sudo apt-get install nunit nunit-console
  

• Use MonoDevelop to open the solution Grpc.sln (you can also run unit tests from there).

• After building the solution with MonoDevelop, you can use nunit-console to run the unit tests (currently only running one by one will make them pass.

  nunit-console GrpcCoreTests.dll
