gRPC Not being generated

I am currently trying to implement a gRPC server in an existing C# ASP .NET Core application. But the C# bindings aren't being generated to use within the application. I have installed the following dependencies:

I have added the .proto file to the Protos folder in my project. I have the following .proto configuration:

syntax = "proto3";

//Request that comes through from the microservice endpoint
message RegistrationRequest {
    string type = 1;
    string ipAddress = 2;
}

//Response on the service register endpoint
message RegistrationResponse {
    bool accepted = 1;
}

//Request to get API endpoint to use based on type
message HostRequest {
    string type = 1;
}

//Response of the host request
message HostResponse {
    string ipAddress = 1;
}

//Service for the repository
service ServiceRepoServer {
    //Method that will register the endpoint on the repo
    rpc RegisterEndpoint (RegistrationRequest) returns (RegistrationResponse) {}
    //Method that will return an endpoint based on type
    rpc RequestEndpoint (HostRequest) returns (HostResponse) {}
}

I have tried cleaning and rebuilding to no avail. It is probably somethind small I am missing somewhere but I am not sure what it is. Does someone have an idea?

You need to edit csproj, for example the default greet.proto does this:

<ItemGroup>
  <Protobuf Include="Protos\greet.proto" GrpcServices="Server" />
</ItemGroup>

GrpcServices parameter can also be Client or Both depends on what you need.

If you're using Visual Studio 2019, you can also use build action to do this. Right click on your proto file and select properties. Choose Protobuf compiler in Build Action
