gRPC support for .NET 3.5 framework

Question

According to official grpc documentation , the grpc for C# requires at least .NET 4.5 framework.

I have a project that should be supported on Windows XP which is running .NET 3.5.

Is there any porting of grpc that can run on .NET 3.5?

Answer 1

No plans to support .NET 3.5 - it's way too old and lacks some important APIs currently used by gRPC (most importantly async/await). More detail is here: https://github.com/grpc/grpc/issues/7880
