GRPC Services issue - grpc

I am really new to the GRPC Client server architecture.
As far as I know it's introduced with .NET core 3.0.
Could you please let me know if we can develop grpc server with the .Net framework?
I am facing issue with the System.ServiceModel.dll if I try to connect from GRPC Service to the .Net freamwork library.

in the official documentation it is referenced that indeed .NET supports gRPC.
Have a look at: https://grpc.io/docs/languages/csharp/dotnet/ and the tutorial https://learn.microsoft.com/en-gb/aspnet/core/tutorials/grpc/grpc-start?view=aspnetcore-3.1&tabs=visual-studio
gRPC can be quite confusing, I would always suggest to check out the tutorial to clarify missing bits of documentation!

SignalR Core client on ASP.NET Framework server

I have an existing application running .NET Framework 4.6.1, that uses SignalR version 2.3. The client version I'm using is 2.0, this has a jQuery dependency. This current setup uses SignalR cors as my web front end is on a different domain to my backend services which is where my hubs lie. To be honest it's all working fine and I'm happy with it, even though you could say it's old tech.
This application has been rewritten relatively recently, but at the time the project was started, SignalR on .Net Core didn't exist, or it might have been in alpha so it wasn't considered an option.
I now have the need to add a new project to the solution, a front end dashboard. Where I work, for new development we use angular, and .Net Core. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try to introduce these new techs into the solution. The plan is to have an angular project and use the #aspnet/signalr npm package, I'll be using Typescript.
Now, the problem (if you haven't guessed already). I can't seem to get my new shiny SignalR client to work with my old Framework SignalR server. The error message is very specific when the call to SignalR is made:
Error: Detected a connection attempt to an ASP.NET SignalR Server. This client only supports connecting to an ASP.NET Core SignalR Server.
What are my options here? Am I going to have to upgrade the SignalR project and the projects that interact with SignalR to Core? Or is there something else that I can do I the meantime to give me more time to upgrade?
You have to use the Asp.Net Core Server with Asp.Net Core Client or use Asp.Net SignalR Server with Asp.Net SignalR Client. You cannot mix them, they won't work together.
Not sure of any work around for that. Checking the differences page it does say you can run CORE on .NET Framework 4.6.1 or later .NET Core 2.1 or later. You should still be able run Asp.Net SignalR on a server running .NET Framework 4.6.1 if that is available to you (yes, I know you said you are a angular/core shop).
Short of that... yes, you would need to rewrite your app for SignalR Core (server and client).

Service Fabric reliable service with .NET Core

So I am playing around with Service Fabric for rolling out a system to the cloud, and so far I have most of the stateless services ported over and running well using ASP.NET Core.
I have another set of services that need to be stateful, and I would like to leverage .NET Core for those services as well. For those I will need to run a custom TCP protocol, not HTTP/WebAPI/WCF.
So the question is; is this possible? The templates only have a ASP.NET Core stateless service template. Can I build something like a .NET Core console application to run as a "Reliable Service"? If so, is there any documentation on how to do this?
Yes, it's possible.
You can create the .NET 4.5.1 stateful service via the template, and then port that project to .NET Core - we've done this and it works just fine.
There doesn't appear to be any official documentation on this process.

How do I write Web Application for a Delphi Server?

I have a Delphi Application with a Client-Server Architecture. Now, I want to write a Web-application for this Delphi Client-Server Application.
To write a this Web App I don't want to use Delphi - I want to use a "modern" Web Architecture like a PHP Framework, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails etc.
So far i came to one possible Solution with RemObjects (http://www.remobjects.com/ro/) and ASP.NET:
In this approach the Delphi Application communicates with an ASP.NET WebServer over RemObjects where the Delphi Application is the REM Objects Server and the ASP.NET App is the Client.
My questions are:
Is this approach really a good idea and if not why?
What are other possible approaches to solve this problem?
Thank you for your help.
Edit:
Thank you for your answers so far!
How about establishing a neutral link like a Database?
You need a two-way messaging / inter process communication solution. Typically SOAP, REST and other web services (RemObjects) are synchronous, request-response style communication.
A messaging middleware can be implemented in a way which totally decouples the applications so that you can restart any part of the system (for example for maintenance and update installation) without disturbing the others.
Popular open source products in this field are for example Apache ActiveMQ, Open Message Queue and RabbitMQ, which offer cross-platform/cross language clients.
An alternative could be SOAP, or a RESTful connection.
R/O is faster than SOAP, for sure, and well integrated to both sides (Delphi and C#).
And, since you are already using R/O between Delphi client and Server, it will be the first option to consider.
IMHO any RESTful connection between Delphi Server and a C# client may do the work also. And will probably be faster, so is to be considered only in a second phase, if you find any performance or stability problem with a R/O connection.

How to generate Java classes from REST

With SOAP WebSevices and WSDL it's very easy to generate a Java WebService client with wsimport.
Is there a similar way to do this for Java REST clients?
Thanks, Simon
Take a look at Alchemy Rest Client Generator. It can generate a jersey 2.0 java client for your JAX-RS REST services by integrating into your server builds.
The client will mimic the exact service API. However this project does not yet support WADL and does not handle marshalling and demarshalling of your transfer objects.
Disclaimer: I am the author of this project.
Do you have a WADL descriptor for your REST service?
If so, you can use wadl2java or maybe something built-in in your IDE (IDEA for example has a wizard for that).

How do I implement a custom message queue listener for WAS activation?

I'm writing components of a .Net 4.0 web solution (on IIS7, WS2008), and need to provide a service which can consume messages from a message queue. I've found setup examples for configuring WAS service activation using MSMQ... but we aren't using MSMQ (using RabbitMQ) and I'm pretty sure I'll have to implement some kind of listener of my own.
I guess my problem is the system of configuration settings I'll have to set up is pretty opaque, and documentation is not clear.
so A: how do I implement and configure a custom listener for WAS service activation.
and B: any advice for configuring the rest of this setup would be wonderful.
Thanks
better to consume as a windows service whih is a pain. We are using an opensource project called TopShelf hosted by google. Rubbish documentation but it has a feature where is will auto run all DLL files placed in a directory as windows services - make depoyment and upgrade easy.
In the WCF WF Samples there's source for a UDP Activator. Wish there was one for AMQP.
