(gRPC .Net) Importing ProtoA (.proto) file defined in Project A into protoB (.proto) file defined in Project B

I tried a Way in using proto files in which

  1. I defined rpc components in proto B in Project B

    Exmaple : rpc Line (RequestData) returns (ResponseInfoBase);

  2. I defined message in Proto A which is in project A(different project)

    Example : message RequestData { string Data = 1 ; }

message ResponseInfoBase { string Data = 1; } My question is am I able to import ProtoA to ProtoB?

Source Code URL: https://github.com/vishipayyallore/speaker_series/tree/master/GRpcDemos/SimpleGRpcDemo

ForHoldingMessages.csproj This holds only messages.

  <ItemGroup>
    <Protobuf Include="Protos\greet.proto" GrpcServices="Server" />
    <Protobuf Include="Protos\AddressBookMessages.proto" GrpcServices="None" />
  </ItemGroup>

College.Service.csproj This holds the rpc method and uses the message defined in ForHoldingMessagaes.csproj.

  <ItemGroup>
    <Protobuf Include="..\ForHoldingMessages\Protos\AddressBookMessages.proto" GrpcServices="None">
      <Link>Protos\AddressBookMessages.proto</Link>
    </Protobuf>
    <Protobuf Include="Protos\greet.proto" GrpcServices="Server" />
    <Protobuf Include="..\College.Service\Protos\AddressBook.proto" GrpcServices="Server" ProtoRoot="..">
    </Protobuf>
  </ItemGroup>

College.ServiceClient.csproj This is the gRPC Client application which uses the protos from both the projects and invokes the RPC method defined in College.Service.

  <ItemGroup>
    <Protobuf Include="..\College.Service\Protos\AddressBook.proto" GrpcServices="Client" ProtoRoot="..">
      <Link>Protos\AddressBook.proto</Link>
    </Protobuf>
    <Protobuf Include="..\ForHoldingMessages\Protos\AddressBookMessages.proto" GrpcServices="Client">
      <Link>Protos\AddressBookMessages.proto</Link>
    </Protobuf>
  </ItemGroup>
