Hi ..
I saw that the code getting messages from chrome and response to the message
but , is it possible to send messages to the chrome seperatly?

Regards
Yuval

Should this

var buffer = new char[BitConverter.ToInt32(lengthBytes, 0)];

be

var buffer = new char[BitConverter.ToUInt32(lengthBytes, 0)];

https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:chrome/browser/extensions/api/messaging/native_message_process_host.cc;drc=bb733b33b305d7bb1eb4b6553e470cc3afc5bf51;l=191

The buffer char array if pretty large and hence while converting it to string in the Jsonconverter parameter getting an exception out of memory.

will this make it possible to add extensions to uwp webview2 app

As per title, can the nuget package be updated (or a new submission made if updating that one is not possible) to include the fact that Dotnet6 is supported?

The current nuget version actually seems to work ok, but I'm getting warnings in vscode because it doesn't declare that it supports dotnet6, e.g. the microsoft C# plugin reports errors on load and outputs:

Error: Package 'NativeMessaging 2.0.0' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8.1' instead of the project target framework 'net6.0-windows7.0'. This package may not be fully compatible with your project.

and dotnet build gives:

warning NU1701: Package 'NativeMessaging 2.0.0' was restored using '.NETFramework,Version=v4.6.1, .NETFramework,V
ersion=v4.6.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.1, .NETFramework,Version=v4.7.2, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8, .NETFramework,Version=v4.8.1' instead of the

Thanks!

Is there any plan to add support for Firefox?

The example code for main should contain
Host.SupportedBrowsers.Add(ChromiumBrowser.GoogleChrome);
Host.SupportedBrowsers.Add(ChromiumBrowser.MicrosoftEdge);
In order to function.

There are tab open, tab close, tab update events, that we can send the events to host app. Is it possible to sent the click events that we click in the browser to the c# host app?

Hi - I didn't know how else to contact you. This link on the homepage:

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/chrome/common/extensions/docs/examples/api/nativeMessaging

results in a not found error. Is that example somewhere to be found?

Thank you

I've created a .net 7 console app using your package, but when I call GenerateManifest it's registering my dll instead of my exe:

"path": "C:/Source/Repos/HAVA Card/HAVACard.Server/bin/Debug/net7.0/HAVACard.Server.dll",

I have made a few modifications to port NativeMessaging to .Net 6 for a small project. They are here: https://github.com/AlbertoPa/NativeMessaging. If you think they are useful or want to merge them, let me know and I can make a PR.

I also plan to add a small example of extension, since the one linked in the code is not available anymore.

Thanks for your work!

The .exe gets launched when I use the example chrome extension and press "connect" but when I press send the c# program doesn't do anything

public class ChromeServerHost : Host
    {
        private const bool SendConfirmationReceipt = true;

        public override string Hostname
        {
            get { return "com.google.chrome.example.echo-manifest.json"; }
        }

        public ChromeServerHost() : base(SendConfirmationReceipt)
        {

        }

        protected override void ProcessReceivedMessage(JObject data)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("HELLO");
            SendMessage(data);
        }
    }

Then in main I have

ChromeServerHost host = new ChromeServerHost();
host.Listen();

It is registered correctly,

private JObject Read()
        {
            Utils.LogMessage("Waiting for Data");
            var stdin = Console.OpenStandardInput();

            var lengthBytes = new byte[4];
            Console.WriteLine("HELLO1");
            stdin.Read(lengthBytes, 0, 4);
            Console.WriteLine("HELLO2");
            var buffer = new char[BitConverter.ToInt32(lengthBytes, 0)];

            using (var reader = new StreamReader(stdin)) while (reader.Peek() >= 0) reader.Read(buffer, 0, buffer.Length);

            return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<JObject>(new string(buffer));
        };

Hello1 gets printed but not hello2, also the logger never logs "Data Received:"

I really like what you have done here but could you provide a sample console application that uses this library to communicate with the example Chrome extension that you made? Thanks!
