Methods

GetOption<T>(Extension<MethodOptions, T>)

[Obsolete("GetOption is obsolete. Use the GetOptions() method.")]
public T GetOption<T>(Extension<MethodOptions, T> extension)

Gets a single value method option for this descriptor

Parameter
Name	Description
`extension`	`ExtensionMethodOptions`

Returns
Type	Description
`T`

Type Parameter
Name	Description
`T`

GetOption<T>(RepeatedExtension<MethodOptions, T>)

[Obsolete("GetOption is obsolete. Use the GetOptions() method.")]
public RepeatedField<T> GetOption<T>(RepeatedExtension<MethodOptions, T> extension)

Gets a repeated value method option for this descriptor

Parameter
Name	Description
`extension`	`RepeatedExtensionMethodOptions`

GetOptions()

public MethodOptions GetOptions()

The MethodOptions, defined in descriptor.proto. If the options message is not present (i.e. there are no options), null is returned. Custom options can be retrieved as extensions of the returned message. NOTE: A defensive copy is created each time this property is retrieved.

Returns
Type	Description
`MethodOptions`

ToProto()

public MethodDescriptorProto ToProto()

Returns a clone of the underlying MethodDescriptorProto describing this method. Note that a copy is taken every time this method is called, so clients using it frequently (and not modifying it) may want to cache the returned value.

Returns
Type	Description
`MethodDescriptorProto`	A protobuf representation of this method descriptor.
