Using the IceRPC .NET project templates

The easiest way to create a new project configured for IceRPC is by using a .NET project template. You can install the IceRPC project templates with the following dotnet new command:

dotnet new install IceRpc.Templates
Template nameDescription
icerpc-protobuf-client
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Protobuf client console application.
icerpc-protobuf-server
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Protobuf server console application.
icerpc-protobuf-di-client
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Protobuf client console application using Microsoft's DI container.
icerpc-protobuf-di-server
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Protobuf server console application using Microsoft's DI container.
icerpc-slice-client
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Slice client console application.
icerpc-slice-server
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Slice server console application.
icerpc-slice-di-client
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Slice client console application using Microsoft's DI container.
icerpc-slice-di-server
A project template for creating an IceRPC + Slice server console application using Microsoft's DI container.

You use the IceRPC templates with the standard dotnet new <template> command. All IceRPC templates offer the following template options:

--no-restore If specified, skips the automatic restore of the project on create.
Type: bool
Default: false
-tr, --transport <quic|tcp> The transport to use for IceRPC connections.
Type: choice
quic Use the QUIC transport
tcp Use the TCP transport
Default: tcp

For example, you can create a new project named MyProtobufClient for an IceRPC + Protobuf client application that uses the QUIC transport with the following command:

dotnet new icerpc-protobuf-client -o MyProtobufClient --transport quic
