Classes
AsyncClientStreamingCall<TRequest, TResponse>
Return type for client streaming calls.
AsyncDuplexStreamingCall<TRequest, TResponse>
Return type for bidirectional streaming calls.
AsyncServerStreamingCall<TResponse>
Return type for server streaming calls.
AsyncStreamReaderExtensions
Extension methods for IAsyncStreamReader<T>.
AsyncUnaryCall<TResponse>
Return type for single request - single response call.
AuthContext
Authentication context for a call. AuthContext is the only reliable source of truth when it comes to authenticating calls. Using any other call/context properties for authentication purposes is wrong and inherently unsafe. Note: experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
AuthInterceptorContext
Context for an RPC being intercepted by Async
AuthProperty
A property of an Auth
BindServiceMethodAttribute
Specifies the location of the service bind method for a gRPC service. The bind method is typically generated code and is used to register a service's methods with the server on startup.
The bind method signature takes a Servicestatic void BindService(ServiceBinderBase, GreeterService).
CallCredentials
Client-side call credentials. Provide authorization with per-call granularity.
CallCredentialsConfiguratorBase
Base class for objects that can consume configuration from CallCredentials objects.
Note: experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
CallInvoker
Abstraction of client-side RPC invocation.
ChannelBase
Base class for gRPC channel. Channels are an abstraction of long-lived connections to remote servers.
ChannelCredentials
Client-side channel credentials. Used for creation of a secure channel.
ChannelCredentialsConfiguratorBase
Base class for objects that can consume configuration from CallCredentials objects.
Note: experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
ClientBase
Base class for client-side stubs.
ClientBase.ClientBaseConfiguration
Represents configuration of ClientBase. The class itself is visible to subclasses, but contents are marked as internal to make the instances opaque. The verbose name of this class was chosen to make name clash in generated code less likely.
ClientBase<T>
Generic base class for client-side stubs.
ContextPropagationOptions
Options for Context
ContextPropagationToken
Token for propagating context of server side handlers to child calls. In situations when a backend is making calls to another backend, it makes sense to propagate properties like deadline and cancellation token of the server call to the child call. Underlying gRPC implementation may provide other "opaque" contexts (like tracing context) that are not explicitly accesible via the public C# API, but this token still allows propagating them.
DeserializationContext
Provides access to the payload being deserialized when deserializing messages.
KeyCertificatePair
Key certificate pair (in PEM encoding).
LiteClientBase
Base class for lightweight client-side stubs.
All calls are invoked via a CallInvoker.
Lite client stubs have no configuration knobs, all configuration
is provided by decorating the call invoker.
Note: experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
Marshaller<T>
Encapsulates the logic for serializing and deserializing messages.
Marshallers
Utilities for creating marshallers.
Metadata
A collection of metadata entries that can be exchanged during a call. gRPC supports these types of metadata:
- Request headersare sent by the client at the beginning of a remote call before any request messages are sent.
- Response headersare sent by the server at the beginning of a remote call handler before any response messages are sent.
- Response trailersare sent by the server at the end of a remote call along with resulting call status.
Metadata.Entry
Metadata entry
Method<TRequest, TResponse>
A description of a remote method.
RpcException
Thrown when remote procedure call fails. Every RpcException is associated with a resulting Status of the call.
SerializationContext
Provides storage for payload when serializing a message.
ServerCallContext
Context for a server-side call.
ServerCallContextExtensions
Extension methods for ServerCallContext.
ServerServiceDefinition
Stores mapping of methods to server call handlers.
Normally, the ServerServiceDefinition objects will be created by the BindService factory method
that is part of the autogenerated code for a protocol buffers service definition.
ServerServiceDefinition.Builder
Builder class for Server
ServiceBinderBase
Allows binding server-side method implementations in alternative serving stacks.
Instances of this class are usually populated by the BindService method
that is part of the autogenerated code for a protocol buffers service definition.
SslCredentials
Client-side SSL credentials.
VerifyPeerContext
Verification context for VerifyPeerCallback. Note: experimental API that can change or be removed without any prior notice.
VersionInfo
Provides info about current version of gRPC. See https://codingforsmarties.wordpress.com/2016/01/21/how-to-version-assemblies-destined-for-nuget/ for rationale about assembly versioning.
WriteOptions
Options for write operations.
Structs
CallOptions
Options for calls made by client.
Status
Represents RPC result, which consists of Status
Interfaces
IAsyncStreamReader<T>
A stream of messages to be read.
Messages can be awaited await reader.MoveNext(), that returns true
if there is a message available and false if there are no more messages
(i.e. the stream has been closed).
On the client side, the last invocation of MoveNext() either returns false
if the call has finished successfully or throws RpcException if call finished
with an error. Once the call finishes, subsequent invocations of MoveNext() will
continue yielding the same result (returning false or throwing an exception).
On the server side, MoveNext() does not throw exceptions.
In case of a failure, the request stream will appear to be finished
(MoveNext will return false) and the CancellationToken
associated with the call will be cancelled to signal the failure.
MoveNext() operations can be cancelled via a cancellation token. Cancelling
an individual read operation has the same effect as cancelling the entire call
(which will also result in the read operation returning prematurely), but the per-read cancellation
tokens passed to MoveNext() only result in cancelling the call if the read operation haven't finished
yet.
IAsyncStreamWriter<T>
A writable stream of messages.
IClientStreamWriter<T>
Client-side writable stream of messages with Close capability.
IMethod
A non-generic representation of a remote method.
IServerStreamWriter<T>
A writable stream of messages that is used in server-side handlers.
Enums
MethodType
Method types supported by gRPC.
StatusCode
Result of a remote procedure call. Based on grpc_status_code from grpc/status.h
WriteFlags
Flags for write operations.
Delegates
AsyncAuthInterceptor
Asynchronous authentication interceptor for Call
ClientStreamingServerMethod<TRequest, TResponse>
Server-side handler for client streaming call.
DuplexStreamingServerMethod<TRequest, TResponse>
Server-side handler for bidi streaming call.
ServerStreamingServerMethod<TRequest, TResponse>
Server-side handler for server streaming call.
UnaryServerMethod<TRequest, TResponse>
Server-side handler for unary call.
VerifyPeerCallback
Callback invoked with the expected targetHost and the peer's certificate. If false is returned by this callback then it is treated as a verification failure and the attempted connection will fail. Invocation of the callback is blocking, so any implementation should be light-weight. Note that the callback can potentially be invoked multiple times, concurrently from different threads (e.g. when multiple connections are being created for the same credentials).
