gRPC StarLink Router .Net

New Info:
I thought I would paste this in full as I can not seem to find any samples on the web of a c# solution for StarLink so hopefully anyone else looking for something may find this helpful and may contribute.
My New Proto File - (partial) - I took the advise of Yuri below. Thanks for the direction here. I was able to I have been using this tool and it has brought a lot of insight but I am still stuck on the c# side of the solution. I am an old VB.Net developer though I have done a bunch in c# I am by no means savvy in it and am probably missing something so simple. Again, any insight would be awesome. I can not post the full proto here as stack has char limit on posts. this is the first bit with messages etc. I can post more if it helps but trying to keep it to the important part.

My New .cs
I have tried many things from Microsoft's examples to thing I can gather from other samples. I simply can not get it to work and am lost. Again, any insight would be amazing and hopefully helpful to others looking for a solution in c#. You will see my commented code of this I have been playing with. Basically I am attempting to achieve three things and have made some movement in one of them.
Goals:
1 - Use Server Reflection to discover services.
I think I got this one resolved with dot-net grpc.
2 - Simply want to check available methods under a service and potentially either check or generate a new .proto file in case things change. StaLink does not publish its proto schema so I assume it could change anytime without warning.
3 - Just run any one of the available methods. I have tried the GetDeviceInfoRequest but can not seem to construct the request message properly. I have not been able to get this accomplishe in the gRPCurl tool either. I can do it on the basic service shown by Microsoft of course but these methods seem to be more complex and I simply get all kinds of errors.
Again, any insight or assistance would be amazing. Thanks to any and all in advance.

creating a github issue in octokit.net

I am trying to write a script that will open an issue typed in the console.
For some reason the issue variable comes back empty in the debugger.
class Program
{
public async static Task Main()
{
var client = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("test-app"));
var user = await client.User.Get("medic17");
var tokenAuth = new Credentials(APIKeys.GithubPersinalAccessToken);
client.Credentials = tokenAuth;
var exampleIssue = new NewIssue("test body");
var issue = await client.Issue.Create("owner","name", exampleIssue);
}
}
APIKeys holds my token.
Thanks

I found a solution hope this helps someone else as well.
class Program
{
public async static Task Main()
{
// client initialization and authentication
var client = new GitHubClient(new ProductHeaderValue("<anything>"));
var user = await client.User.Get("<user>");
var tokenAuth = new Credentials(APIKeys.GithubPersinalAccessToken);
client.Credentials = tokenAuth;
// user input
Console.WriteLine("Give a title for your issue: ");
string userIssueTitle = Console.ReadLine().Trim();
Console.WriteLine("Describe your issue:", Environment.NewLine);
string userIssue = Console.ReadLine().Trim();
// input validation
while (string.IsNullOrEmpty(userIssue) || string.IsNullOrEmpty(userIssueTitle))
{
Console.WriteLine("ERROR: Both fields must contain text");
Console.ReadLine();
break;
}
var newIssue = new NewIssue(userIssueTitle) { Body = userIssue };
var issue = await client.Issue.Create(<owner>, <repo> newIssue);
var issueId = issue.Id;
Console.WriteLine($"SUCCESS: your issue id is {issueId} ");
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
Note
You need to store your keys in a separate file and write a class for it so your authentication flow might be different.
Note 2
You must replace all text with real values.

Still a little confused the app is OpenSource for transport since it deals with HIPPA data, users who want to use it need GitHub account if they want to do any error reporting. I assume I don’t share the authToken in the source of the project but the desktop Binary needs it plus the users GitHub login and password. Any pointers? I have tried just using username password that gets entered when creating issue but that fails with “not found”. It seems like any secret that gets deployed with binary app is potentially an issue.

AWS Kinesis .NET Consumer

I am experimenting with producer and consumer using AWS Kinesis and the issue is the consumer keeps receiving the first message (or record) that we produced though we have changed the data object sent multiple times . Additionally we have tried multiple ShardIteratorType and none have worked. Latest produces no results, all others produce the same original record.

First of all, as I have debugged your code, I noticed that it loops infinitely in the inner loop (while (!string.IsNullOrEmpty(iteratorId))) and never loops over all the shards in your stream (assuming you have >1). The reason is explained in https://docs.aws.amazon.com/streams/latest/dev/troubleshooting-consumers.html#getrecords-returns-empty - because the producer never called MergeShards or SplitShards, they remain open, thus NextShardIterator will never be NULL.
This is why you only ever see records put on the first shard (or at least I did when running your code) - you must read from shards in parallel.
As far as your usage pattern goes, you're using:
ShardIteratorType = ShardIteratorType.AT_TIMESTAMP,
Timestamp = DateTime.MinValue
By this, you're essentially telling Kinesis "give me all the records in the stream from the beginning of time" (or at least as far as the retention period reaches). That's why you keep seeing the same old records in addition to new ones (again, that's what I saw when I ran your code).
A GetRecords[Async] call does not actually remove records from the stream (see https://stackoverflow.com/a/25741304/4940707). The correct way of using Kinesis is to move checkpoint-to-checkpoint. If the consumer was to persist the SequenceNumber from the last record read and then restart as such:
ShardIteratorType = ShardIteratorType.AT_SEQUENCE_NUMBER,
StartingSequenceNumber = lastSeenSequenceNumber
Then you'd see only newer records.

Create task from template via API in Microsoft Team Foundation Server 2018

I'm creating an integration from our testing framework (Selenium) to Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2018 using C# (our tests are already written in it) - the integration will generate work items in TFS based on test results. I'd like to create the work item from a template, and I can't seem to find any documentation on doing so. I'm using the TFS client library from Microsoft found here.
I can pull a template from TFS:
var client = new HttpClient()
// Client auth stuff removed
var method = new HttpMethod("GET");
var httpRequestMessage = new HttpRequestMessage(method, "http://server:port/tfs/collection/team/project/_api/wit/templates/12345abc");
var httpResponseMessage = client.SendAsync(httpRequestMessage).Result;
WorkItemTemplate tfs_template = httpResponseMessage.Content.ReadAsAsync<WorkItemTemplate>().Result;
The API for creating new work items here looks fairly straightforward, but I can't find any way to connect the two actions, or a way to apply a template using this call. Is it possible to create a work item via API with a template, and if so, is there any documentation for it?

You can not create work item from work item template. You can use work item templates to see which fields contains some default values. This example for new work item from template with rest api:

Acumatica Prepare Replenishment Screen ProcessAll Action not working

I am on Acumatica 5.30.1672 and am using the SOAP API for Screen IN508000 to try and run the Prepare Replenishment process. I am setting the WarehouseID for where I want to prepare replenishment. The API call is returning the correct InventoryIDs in the response object but when I tell it to ProcessAll, it is not. There is no error, just no processing. I feel like I am missing something trivial here but I just cannot see it. When I do this using the GUI, everything works perfectly.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using AcumaticaTest.AcumaticaWebReference;
namespace AcumaticaTest
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Screen context = new Screen();
context.CookieContainer = new System.Net.CookieContainer();
context.Timeout = 1200000;
context.Url = "url to SOAP API Endpoint";
LoginResult lresult = context.Login("<username>", "<password>");
IN508000Content IN508000 = context.IN508000GetSchema();
context.IN508000Clear();
var commands = new Command[]
{
new Value {Value = "<WarehouseID>", LinkedCommand = IN508000.Selection.Warehouse, Commit= true },
new Value {Value = "false", LinkedCommand = IN508000.Selection.Me, Commit= true },
IN508000.ItemsRequiringReplenishment.InventoryID,
IN508000.Actions.ProcessAll
};
var response = context.IN508000Submit(commands);
var status = context.IN508000GetProcessStatus();
while (status.Status == ProcessStatus.InProcess)
{
status = context.IN508000GetProcessStatus();
}
}
}
}

I tested your code and it is working just fine - the system prepares the replenishment plans for the items of the requested warehouse, and the response object contains all the items that would be listed if you opened the Prepare Replenishment screen with the parameters you set. If you want to e-mail me URL and credentials to your site (gmichaud at acumatica) I can take a look to see what's wrong.
Please note that you don't need to explicitly set Commit = true for these two fields (the schema object already has them set to true). I would also recommend to add System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(1000) in your loop to avoid hammering the server with requests while it is processing.
