How to set up VS Code and the project to build a NEW custom deserializer locally

The original doc lists the necessary steps:

  1. Install the latest .NET SDK
  2. Create a new dotnet class library with dotnet new classlib -o myCustomDeserializer
  3. In that project, install the ASA package with dotnet add package Microsoft.Azure.StreamAnalytics
  4. If the deserializer somehow needs to deal with JSON files, also dotnet add package Newtonsoft.JSON

Important note not (yet) in the doc: the project needs to be built on dotnet standard, not dotnet core (current default when using the dotnet CLI). It is important to update the .csproj with the following TargetFramework:

...
  <PropertyGroup>
    <TargetFramework>netstandard2.1</TargetFramework>
    <LangVersion>latest</LangVersion>
    ...
  </PropertyGroup>
...

LangVersion is set to latest to be able to use the newest version of C#.

Use dotnet restore in the project folder if need be.

How to set up the job to use a custom deserializer

The ASA job needs to have a global storage account and a custom code storage account. They don't need to be the same.

For local ASA projects these settings are found in the JobConfig.json

How to set up a local input with a custom deserializer

Set up the Format to CustomClr (Custom in the picker) in the config file, then set the SerializationProjectPath, build and select the SerializationClassName.

{
    "InputAlias": "Input1",
    "Type": "Data Stream",
    "Format": "CustomClr",
    "SerializationProjectPath": "..\\myJsonDeserializer\\myJsonDeserializer.csproj",
    "SerializationClassName": "myJsonDeserializer.myJsonDeserializer",
    "SerializationDllPath": "myJsonDeserializer.dll",
    "FilePath": "data_input1.json",
    "ScriptType": "InputMock"
}

From there on, local runs with local inputs will use the custom deserializer.

How to set up a live input with a custom deserializer

Similarly, set Serialization to CustomClr (Custom in the picker), then set the SerializationProjectPath, build and select the SerializationClassName.

{
...
    "Serialization": {
        "Type": "CustomClr",
        "SerializationProjectPath": "..\\myJsonDeserializer\\myJsonDeserializer.csproj",
        "SerializationClassName": "myJsonDeserializer.myJsonDeserializer",
        "SerializationDllPath": "myJsonDeserializer.dll"
    },
...
}

From there on, local runs on live inputs will use the custom deserializer.
