grpc-C# I want to specify the number of client-side local port.

[yuta]

Hi.

I want to specify local port number of my grpc client (c#), something like : 

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

var socketFactory = ?  // how to get socket factory struct from native c++ library from C#

var options = new List<ChannelOption>(){

new ChannelOption("grpc.socket_factory", pointer-to-socket-factory)

};

var channel = new Channel(hostname, portnum, new SslCredentials(cert_pem), options);

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The official api document says "channnel options listed in grpc_types.h file are available", and I want to access [Line:300] #define GRPC_ARG_SOCKET_FACTORY "grpc.socket_factory" option.

https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/include/grpc/impl/codegen/grpc_types.h

But I don't know how to access it from C# code. Could you give me a simple example code to specify local port?

thank you.

Hello,

this functionality is not supported in gRPC C#. More generally gRPC C# doesn't support specifying channel arguments (options) when they are custom native objects - this is mostly because it's hard to expose such concept in a safe and idiomatic way in C# library. Instead we only support channel options of type int and string.
