Your best bet is to look at the other C# projects; we don't maintain any C# code. However, TextFormat in the C++ implementation does exactly this, so you might be able to use that as a starting point. Of course the reflection APIs may be different in the other implementations. On Mon, Jun 20, 2011

Hi all, I'm writing this to ask if others agree that publishing Protocol Buffers language and encoding as an IETF RFC would be a good idea. One of the questions I was asked when suggesting to adopt PB was: "Is this a standard or just a project that could be abandoned by the creators/maintainers a
