How can I use protobuf's Any in C#?

Question

Here is my protobuf's data model:

message GetNewsRespone{
  repeated google.protobuf.Any instrument = 1;
}

message Issue{
  int64 id = 1;
  string title = 2;
}

And here is my attempt to fill that with data:

GetNewsRespone res = new GetNewsRespone();
Issue issue = new Issue();
issue.id = 123;
layer.instrument .AddRange(???);

How can I add anIssue to my GetNewsRespone.instrument, which is an Any Array?

Answer 1

Use Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Any.Pack

like:

var myValue = Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Any.Pack(new Stock());

for your code:

GetNewsRespone res = new GetNewsRespone();
Issue issue = new Issue();
issue.id = 123;
res.instrument = Google.Protobuf.WellKnownTypes.Any.Pack(issue);
