MessagePack Support

[alfkonee]

I wanted to know if the current implementation of this Library support the messagepack protocol.

Preliminary investigation show that on the client side it can be configured to use messagepack but there's no such config match on the silo Host Side (Server).

Is this scenario possible on the server side of things if yes please point me to the necessary configs to apply if not I might be able to implement the needed config point with necessary guidance from the community.

Hello!

Yes, it does.

https://github.com/OrleansContrib/SignalR.Orleans/blob/master/src/SignalR.Orleans/Extensions.cs#L67

You should call that on the SignalR configuration and then there you add the MessagePack protocol just like you would on a regular SignalR application.

In there no config needed on to Silo to support to the protocol??

[galvesribeiro]

Nop! Just on the client and on SignalR. It is not an Orleans concern.

Ok will try with different config parameters and post my findings thanks

[alfkonee]

I got it working now, @galvesribeiro you were right it wasn't Orleans just pesky messagepack serialzation and deserialization Rules.

Gotta say learning a lot from this Library Maybe will write a blog post after I'm done with the implementation I'm doing. 🤞🏾
