Invoking Actor methods from .Net Framework #43

Closed msislam3 closed 2 years ago

msislam3 commented 2 years ago

I am using the WCF Sample project as base to enable DAPR in a .NET Framework app. I was wondering if it's possible to invoke Actor methods running in other DAPR services from a .NET Framework service. I see example of calling Service methods using HTTP Client created using HttpClientFactory but I am not sure how to call an Actor method. I can't use the official Dapr.Actor package as it relies on .NET Core

The Dapr Virtual Actor feature is heavily dependent on the official Dapr SDK, which is why only a few SDK's currently implement it. The Dapr Sidekick library is a slim component with no dependencies on the Dapr SDK whose job is purely to launch, configure and monitor the Dapr sidecar as a dependent process. If you want to invoke Virtual Actors from the .NET Framework I suggest raising an Issue against the official Dapr .NET SDK.

That's fair. I'll raise an issue in the official SDK repo
