DiscriminatedUnion

Discriminated union

The Discriminated union example shows how to define discriminated unions in Slice, and then how to use the C# code generated for the Slice type.

You define a discriminated union in Slice by defining an enum without an underlying type. Each enumerator of such an enum can then define 0 or more fields.

Since C# does not provide native support for discriminated unions, the Slice code generator for C# maps such a Slice enum to several C# record classes and relies on the Dunet source generator to provide various methods for these record classes.

You can build the client and server applications with:

dotnet build

First start the Server program:

cd Server
dotnet run

In a separate terminal, start the Client program:

cd Client
dotnet run
