MessagePack for CLI

What is it?

This is MessagePack serialization/deserialization for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure) implementations such as .NET Framework, Silverlight, Mono (including Moonlight.) This library can be used from ALL CLS compliant languages such as C#, F#, Visual Basic, Iron Pyhton, Iron Ruby, PowerShell, C++/CLI or so.

Installation

  • You can get binary drops from NuGet (currently, pre-release only).
    • There are NO distribution packages other than NuGet, so you have to build your own drops for Mono.

How to build

For .NET Framework

  1. Install recent Windows SDK (at least, .NET Framework 4 Client Profile and MSBuild is needed.)
    Or install Visual Studio or Visual Studio Express.

    1. If you want to build unit test assemblies, install NuGet and then restore NUnit packages.
  2. Run:

    msbuild MsgPack.sln

Or (for .NET 3.5 drops, Silverlight 4 drops, and Silverlight 5 drops):

msbuild MsgPack.compats.sln

Or (for Windows Phone 7.1 drops):

msbuild MsgPack.wp7.sln

Or open one of above solution files in your IDE and run build command in it.

For Mono

Open MsgPack.mono.sln with MonoDevelop and then click Build menu item. (Of cource, you can build via xbuild.)
