Help with Redis-Sharp or ServiceStack.Redis

Question

I tried to run Redis-Sharp test program. It sets the string length when I set some key,value (both strings). And while reading the data it throws exception. I then moved on and tried ServiceStack.Redis and after adding library reference it properly shows the properties of RedisClient etc but when I try to build it throws an error no library reference found. Can anyone help me get past this step and actually see some test programs running proper commands on Redis server ?

Answer 1

When a new project is created in Visual Studio 2010 the Target framework (on Application tab of project properties) is set to .NET Framework 4 Client Profile ; changing this to .NET Framework 4 resolves the RedisClient build problem.

Answer 2

I'm the maintainer of the ServiceStack.Redis client - can I ask which build are you having problems with? ie what build references were you missing?

I've currently in the process of moving to GitHub (which is now the official project site of the open source project).

So from now on the latest source code and binary releases will be available here: https://github.com/mythz/ServiceStack.Redis

In GitHub the Redis Client is now a self-contained, top-level project so you should be able to build without any problems.

Older binary releases (and source code) should still be available from the old project site: http://code.google.com/p/servicestack/wiki/ServiceStackRedis

Hope this helps,
